The listing plugin (Since v4.2.0) allows you to generate a list of listings on any template file you want.

To call this function you would include the following code in any template file you want it to appear.

{listings number="3" sort_column="dateadded" assign="new_listings"}
<h2>New Listings</h2>
{foreach from=$new_listings item="entry"}
    {$entry.title} - {$entry.price} - {$entry.link}
{/foreach}  

The code above calls the plugin and assigns the results to the $new_listings variable. Next we loop through the results and display it how we want.
