recent articles list?
Hi ive searched this forum and looked in the textbook but i cant find an answer to either of these questions. Im sure they’re simple one but i cant think of a way to do it myself.
firstly, I just want a recent articles list. Each time a new article is written the list is updated.Secondly i want to know how to have more than one list on a page. I have at the moment a linklist on my default page and that uses this txp code:
<code> <txp:linklist form=“my-links” limit=“10” /></code>
What i dont know how to do is if i create another list called “musiclist” how do i tell txp that i want to put the new item in that list only and not the other one?
Hopes that makes sense
thanks

Re: recent articles list?
thanks mary thats perfect! i’m just a little confused about this catergory thing.
Ive put this in my code:
<code> <txp:if_category name=“tests”>
<txp:linklist label=“First Floor” wraptag=“ul” break=“li” />
</txp:if_category>
</code>
i was hoping that id be able to create a new link category called tests and then when i psted a new link with this category it would show up in the div that i put my code in.
Hmmm, it doesnt seem to work! Could anyone suggest why?
thanks

Because category urls are article categories, not link categories. I believe there’s a link plugin that will allow you to use them as such, check the resources site.

Re: recent articles list?
Im sorry i cant find the related plugin.
Is the only way of creating extra lists on a page without the use of a plugin?
