Smart list from individual posts

Hello,
great work with the smart lists but i have a problem.
I have a list made of 5 restaurants.
If i want to ad a module on the homepage i can’t have one that can list the five restaurants in the smart list because that smart list is actually a single post.
So what can i do to have a module that can list the items in the smart list?
An option would be to create a post in wich you cand add other posts and create a list. More accurate:
i want to create a list from different posts you want so i can have a list of top five restaurants but i can also have posts of each restaurant in my website.

I have found a way but it’s not so good:
1) I create the smart list (top 5 restaurants)
2) i create posts identical to the elements in the smart list (individual post for each of the 5 restaurants)
3) i add a module on the homepage and point it to my 5 posts of my restaurants
4) i redirect each individual post link (using a wordpress plugin) to the link that the smart list creates for each element.

Module Gurmand has the redirected posts
http://www.good-life.ro/

The smart list post to wich the redirects go
http://www.good-life.ro/cele-mai-bune-restaurante-din-bucuresti/

It works if you use it for couple of articles but in the future i will have to much duplicated content.
So tell me if you have a solution.
thank you.

Hi

The theme’s modules were designed to display some information about articles on the pages, like thumbs, author name, date, excerpts etc. As you remarked the smart list is a single post with different items. A possible solution would be using the module 15 on the page like here: http://screencast.com/t/xWPnCakFRmzhttp://screencast.com/t/56O0gD5kE
In case you want a different implementation you will need custom modification in theme core files and I suggest you to hire a developer to do it for you, as it’s a very complex task because require a custom module with a different implementation then the ones present in the theme.

Thanks!
