Two questions - comments display and linklist
Got two questions that a search does not help me find…
1. How to display comments from the latest comments first, then the rest of the comments?
2. How to have the txp:linklist tag display links that open in a new window?

2 – Construct your anchor link around txp:link_url so as to behave as you would like. (in your links form)

Thanks Rick I will take a look at that tag, did not know about it before.
Anyone help with my point 1 above re showing latest comments first?

Re: Two questions - comments display and linklist
The comments tag does that by default.

And if you want to reverse the order, add sort="posted DESC" as an attribute to the <txp:comments /> tag (you do need txp 4.0.5 for this to work).

Awesome! Thanks Ruud I will update that site to 4.05 later today and try it out…
For my second question above – using linklist tag to output links that open in a new window – is that possible with 4.05? Currently, the links open in the same window. ?
Edit: Thanks again Ruud! Comments now display from first-to-last after upgrading to 4.05 and adding the new “sort” option.

As Rick said above, customize your link form that you’re using. :)
