Re: [Radiant] Displaying Recent Articles
I'm about to announce a re-release of featured_pages, but that's not what you want here. I'm not sure why you have a 'contact us' page under articles, but you might have your reasons. Using featured_pages would require a lot of manual labor. What you want is for it to be automatic. Just use the or tags. You can do something like this: The wiki has a lot of great content https://github.com/radiant/radiant/wiki/Conditional-Tags On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 8:05 PM, Rachel Soma wrote: > Either make sure that only pages you want pulled in are under the url you're > pointing at (why is your contact us page under /articles ?) or look into > featured pages > https://github.com/saturnflyer/radiant-featured_pages-extension to select > particular pages for display only. > > -- > Rachel > > On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 11:02 AM, Obi wrote: >> >> Sweet, thanks Rachel, I'll definitely check out that extension. >> So far I've gotten the following code to do what I want: >> >> >> >> >> >> >> Read this article >> >> >> >> >> What would I need to add to this so that Radiant only pulls pages that >> have excerpts (to stop it pulling things like "contact us" pages or menu >> pages etc.? >> Thanks! >> On 08/11/2010, at 20:33, Rachel Soma wrote: >> >> Use a page part and call that if you want to choose the excerpt or you can >> use truncate https://github.com/saturnflyer/radiant-truncate-extension to >> take the first X characters from the article and, well, truncate them. >> >> -- >> Rachel >> >> On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 9:19 AM, Obi wrote: >>> >>> Thanks Joel, I had no idea that was in there! >>> The code you sent me provides a list of links, is there anyway to format >>> it so that it shows a small excerpt for each link, and keeps the site >>> formatting styles (header1,2 etc.)? >>> Basically so it would look like this: >>> http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3228/screenshot20101108at191.jpg >>> Any pointers would be greatly appreciated >>> On 08/11/2010, at 17:41, Joel Oliveira wrote: >>> >>> It's built in. >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> This is off the top of my head so I'm not 100% sure that will work.

Re: [Radiant] Displaying Recent Articles
Either make sure that only pages you want pulled in are under the url you're pointing at (why is your contact us page under /articles ?) or look into featured pages https://github.com/saturnflyer/radiant-featured_pages-extension to select particular pages for display only. -- Rachel On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 11:02 AM, Obi wrote: > Sweet, thanks Rachel, I'll definitely check out that extension. > > So far I've gotten the following code to do what I want: > > > > > > > > Read this article > > > > > > What would I need to add to this so that Radiant only pulls pages that have > excerpts (to stop it pulling things like "contact us" pages or menu pages > etc.? > > Thanks! > > On 08/11/2010, at 20:33, Rachel Soma wrote: > > Use a page part and call that if you want to choose the excerpt or you can > use truncate https://github.com/saturnflyer/radiant-truncate-extension to > take the first X characters from the article and, well, truncate them. > > -- > Rachel > > On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 9:19 AM, Obi wrote: > >> Thanks Joel, I had no idea that was in there! >> >> The code you sent me provides a list of links, is there anyway to format >> it so that it shows a small excerpt for each link, and keeps the site >> formatting styles (header1,2 etc.)? >> >> Basically so it would look like this: >> >> http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3228/screenshot20101108at191.jpg >> >> Any pointers would be greatly appreciated >> >> On 08/11/2010, at 17:41, Joel Oliveira wrote: >> >> It's built in. >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> This is off the top of my head so I'm not 100% sure that will work.

Re: [Radiant] Displaying Recent Articles
Sweet, thanks Rachel, I'll definitely check out that extension. So far I've gotten the following code to do what I want: Read this article What would I need to add to this so that Radiant only pulls pages that have excerpts (to stop it pulling things like "contact us" pages or menu pages etc.?

Re: [Radiant] Displaying Recent Articles
Use a page part and call that if you want to choose the excerpt or you can use truncate https://github.com/saturnflyer/radiant-truncate-extension to take the first X characters from the article and, well, truncate them. -- Rachel On Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 9:19 AM, Obi wrote: > Thanks Joel, I had no idea that was in there! > > The code you sent me provides a list of links, is there anyway to format it > so that it shows a small excerpt for each link, and keeps the site > formatting styles (header1,2 etc.)? > > Basically so it would look like this: > > http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3228/screenshot20101108at191.jpg > > Any pointers would be greatly appreciated > > On 08/11/2010, at 17:41, Joel Oliveira wrote: > > It's built in. > > > > > > > > > > > > > This is off the top of my head so I'm not 100% sure that will work.

Re: [Radiant] Displaying Recent Articles
You should probably look at some documentation. For starters: https://github.com/radiant/radiant/wiki/Radius-Tags http://radiantcms.org/blog/archives/2006/05/11/tag-primer/ And my example was based on the assumption you had a page part for all your articles/posts called "excerpt". If you don't have one you'll either have to add one or maybe use something like a text expander plugin of some sort (example: http://plugins.learningjquery.com/expander/) Good luck! - Joel On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 5:19 PM, Obi wrote: > Thanks Joel, I had no idea that was in there! > > The code you sent me provides a list of links, is there anyway to format it > so that it shows a small excerpt for each link, and keeps the site > formatting styles (header1,2 etc.)? > > Basically so it would look like this: > > http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3228/screenshot20101108at191.jpg > > Any pointers would be greatly appreciated > > On 08/11/2010, at 17:41, Joel Oliveira wrote: > > It's built in. > > > > > > > > > > > > > This is off the top of my head so I'm not 100% sure that will work.

Re: [Radiant] Displaying Recent Articles
Thanks Joel, I had no idea that was in there! The code you sent me provides a list of links, is there anyway to format it so that it shows a small excerpt for each link, and keeps the site formatting styles (header1,2 etc.)?

Re: [Radiant] Displaying Recent Articles
It's built in. This is off the top of my head so I'm not 100% sure that will work. But it's close. On Mon, Nov 8, 2010 at 3:28 PM, Obi wrote: > Does anyone know of an extension that will allow me to automatically > display recent articles with a title and a small excerpt?
[Radiant] Displaying Recent Articles
Does anyone know of an extension that will allow me to automatically display recent articles with a title and a small excerpt?
