I'm trying to create a page element that my developers can include in their 
pages, and not have to know midgard code.

I can get them to set variables, so this should be pretty straight forward. 

I have them set two variables before they call the element 

$name  (The name of the topic)
$num   (how many articles they want to fetch) 

her is the code of the element
***********************************
<?php
 $topic = mgd_get_topic_by_name($name);
 $topic_id = $topic->id;

?> 


<?   $article = mgd_list_topic_articles_all($topic_id);
if ($article) for ($i = 0;$i < $num && $article->fetch(); $i++)
{ ?>
<p>
<strong>&(article.adate);
    : <a href="&(article.id);.html">&(article.title);</a></strong><br>
&(article.abstract);<br>
</p>
<?   } ?> 

********************************************* 

Now why doesn't the function mgd_get_topic_by_name() work?  as far as I can 
tell it isn't returning anything.  I know that I'm passing it the correct 
name, but I can't get the ID. 

Thanks for the help Miles
