Here is a very simple but working XML plugin :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<listing>
	<name>Latest News for a specific category</name>
	<query>SELECT id, title FROM #__content WHERE state = "1" AND sectionid = "XXX" AND catid = "XXX" ORDER BY created DESC</query>
	<htmlline>
  <table>
  
		<![CDATA[
		- <a href="index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=%s&Itemid=XXX>%s</a>

		]]>
  
  </table>
	</htmlline>
</listing>

XXX need to be replaced by your own configuration !

you're welcome Moncini ;)

Yes, just add section id and category id from your configuration. You also need the Itemid. To have it, just look at your menu configuration in the admin area (if you have set a menu item for this category !).

If you need more help, do not hesitate ;)
