    Default Struggling to use XMLPackage - required parameters apparently not documented

    Hi, I am new to this.

    I want to put a category listing on the front page but I can't work out how, and Dr. Google has not yet helped.

    The site is www.solbreads.com.au; it is currently using javascript redirect to achieve the aim.

    Here are some examples of the code I have tried without luck, can anyone please advise with specific literal actual examples instead of posts that say things like "yourkey=yourvalue" because I cannot find documentation of what the required parameters are:

    Try 1: <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:ShowCategory(5,'buy-sol-breads-online', false,'')" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

    Try 2: <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:XmlPackage('entity.simpleproductli st.xml.config', 'EntityID=5&amp;EntityName=category&amp;SectionFil terId=1')" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

    Thanks in anticipation!

    Hi

    Are you trying to do this from within your skin template files or from another XMLPackage? Can you also let us know which ASPDNSF version you are using?

    The version is 8.0.1.1; the examples are my attempts to do it in page.default.xml.config.

    I just want to show product on the home page, we have a very small number of products, and I don't mind how it is achieved.

    I would be happy to do it in hometopintro if I could work out how to do it there.
