Tag to display recent article(s)

dcsfootball · 2008-02-04 20:34:30

I’m setting up the main content section of my site inside of a news scroller. I can place anything inside of the scroller, as long as it’s in <div> tags. I want to put my most recent articles in the scroller, maybe three or four. Is there any way I can set a text pattern tag to display the most recent article, the second-most recent article, etc.?

As an alternative, is there any way I can just set the newer articles to go straight into the scroller?

EDIT: I’m looking on the Textbook right now, trying to learn about the TP tags. Could I utilize this in some way?

<txp:article sort=“AuthorID asc, Posted asc” /> Except have the sort limit to one and set to most recent? I’m guessing that’s possible, but I don’t know how I would set the second and third most recent articles in their own separate page on the scroller.

Here’s the scroller I’m trying to implement:

Could this help.

The list on your page:

<txp:article_custom limit="3" form="recent" />

And now the article form named recent:

<div class="contentdiv"><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></div>

Cheers!

If you need to call the articles one by one:

1. <txp:article limit="1" />
2. <txp:article limit="1" offset="1" />
3. <txp:article limit="1" offset="2" />
etcetera

You don’t need the sort attribute, default is Posted desc.
