Thanks, Robert. Even better than what I thought would help there: more recent articles.
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

The plugin requires Txp 4.2.0 at least.

Might be a browser issue. Which one do you use?
Also, you might perform two diagnostic steps to aid tracking down the reason why wet_quickopen does not work for you:
1. When you visit http://yoursite.com/textpattern/index.php?wet_rsrc=quickopen_js&v=0.1 you should see a page which starts like that:
/*=*=*=* script goes here */
/**
* wet_quickopen: Open recent (and not so recent) articles quickly.
* ...2. A visit to http://yoursite.com/textpattern/?wet_peex=article&limit=10&offset=0&dir=desc&sort=lastmod should render a XML response like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<textpattern>
<articles count='42' offset='0' limit='10'>

Re: wet_quickopen: Open recent (and not so recent) articles quickly
Robert,
I use Firefox 3.5.3
I try the diagnostic 1 and 2 :
On site A : the urls go to the login then the admin (contents).
On site B : the urls give me the code above as expected.
I try on Chrome and IE : Site A : don’t work, Site B : I see the new filter (recent files) and it work.
If you want it, I could give you access on both site.

Re: wet_quickopen: Open recent (and not so recent) articles quickly
Great stuff. This will be a default plugin for me in future. There’s just one strange thing I ran into… I can’t run it from my plugins folder.
I get Fatal error: Unable to include required plugin "wet_peex" in [...]/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php on line 498 in the bottom of the Write tab, and the search doesn’t work.
But wet_peek v0.4 is there – I’m using successfully it with wet_quicklink_v0.5 aready. Just to prove this, if I activate it in the plugins table, the Write page spits at me
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wet_peex() (previously declared in [...]/textpattern/plugins/active/wet_peex_v0.4.php:66) in [...]/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(594) : eval()'d code on line 141
…until I remove wet_peex_v0.4.php from my plugins folder.
Not a show-stopper, but I thought it might be of interest.
Thanks again.

You can try to remove this line from wet_quickopen:
require_plugin('wet_peex'); // won't help for loading wet_peex on time, but point out the lack of it to unwary users.Offline
Re: wet_quickopen: Open recent (and not so recent) articles quickly
Yep, that works. Thank you.
