Hi, I am using the plugin_wiki (which is fantastic by the way) and the Rambling plugin_layout. I am trying to make it a bit more blog like by listing recent posts.
I have created a file recentPosts.html which is: <ul> {{for recent in recents:}} <li> <a href=/bs/plugin_wiki/page/{{recent.slug}}> {{=recent.slug}} </a> </li> {{pass}} </ul> and in the default.py controller defined: def recentPosts(): return dict(recents=db().select(db.plugin_wiki_page.slug, db.plugin_wiki_page.created_on )) this works fine when I load the page /myApp/default/recentPosts However: I want to show the recent posts in the sidebar. So I have put {{include 'recentPosts.html'}} in layout.html and written the index.html as: {{left_sidebar_enabled=right_sidebar_enabled=False}} {{extend 'layout.html'}} {{=plugin_wiki.embed_page('home') or ''}} When I run this I get an error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/www-data/web2py/gluon/restricted.py", line 188, in restricted exec ccode in environment File "/home/www-data/web2py/applications/myApp/views/default/ index.html", line 53, in <module> NameError: name 'recents' is not defined OK, so I add to index() in default.py return dict(message=T('Hello World'), recents=db().select(db.plugin_wiki_page.slug, db.plugin_wiki_page.created_on )) And this works fine until I try to select another wiki page. Where I get the error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/www-data/web2py/gluon/restricted.py", line 188, in restricted exec ccode in environment File "/home/www-data/web2py/applications/myApp/views/plugin_wiki/ page.html", line 79, in <module> NameError: name 'recents' is not defined So the problem seems to be that the recents definition does not seem to be cascading down from the layout.html. I have tried to define it under plugin_wiki.py, but no luck. I hope I have defined the problem as clearly as possible. Any help, much appreciated.
