recent entries? (resolved)

(my original message was about a plugin for recent articles but i found the <txp:recent_articles /> so im editing my post so a mod can move this where ever it belongs)

i have my recent articles in my left column but how do i go about adding a bullet to each entry because im using ul and li but the bullet only comes up on the 1st acticle

as you can see here http://www.endcruelty.ca/index.php

It’s because you actually have just one list item, rather than individual ones:

<ul>
<li class="recent_articles"><a href="http://www.endcruelty.ca/takeaction/36/michael-moore">Michael Moore</a><br />
<a href="http://www.endcruelty.ca/article/35/please-sign-the-petition">Please Sign The Petition</a><br />
<a href="http://www.endcruelty.ca/etcetera/34/happiness-in-all-the-wrong-places">Happiness In All The Wrong Places</a><br />

<a href="http://www.endcruelty.ca/takeaction/30/doug-holyday">Doug Holyday</a><br />
<a href="http://www.endcruelty.ca/takeaction/31/costco">Costco</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

Can you post the tag you’re using, please?

Re: recent entries? (resolved)

ya the thing is though i’d like to have it automatic instead of having to change it everytime i post something new………. im using
<code><ul>
<txp:recent_articles wraptag=“li” limit=5 />
</ul>
</code>

You’ve misunderstood how the wraptag and break attributes work.

<txp:recent_articles wraptag="ul" break="li" limit="5" />

I was going to answer but Mary was quicker ;)

(How do I post tags and code on the forum?)
