Jerry Jalava	Thursday 06 November 2003 7:33:33 pm Hi, I'm using the 3.2-3 release of eZP. Is there a possibility to complete this kind of task in template code: I have folder "Articles" and there folders that are the categories. In the category folders I have my articles. I need to fetch on my frontpage 5 newest articles. They have to come from all the categories... I just has to show the category the article belongs to and the title of the article... So the fetching should check 22 category folders for newest articles and show only 5 newest of them... But I don't know how to build that kind of fetch... Thanks, Jerry
Ole Morten Halvorsen	Friday 07 November 2003 1:12:24 am If my understanding is correct, you have a tree structure like this: articles -- category 1 ---- article 1 ---- article 2 -- category 2 ---- article 3 ---- article 4 Template example of how to fetch the five newest articles: {let articles=fetch( content, tree, hash( parent_node_id, NODE_ID, sort_by,array( published, false() ), limit, 5, class_filter_type, include, class_filter_array, array( 'article' ) ) )} {section name=Child loop=$articles} {node_view_gui view='line' content_node=$:item} {/section} {/let} Replace NODE_ID with the node id to the article folder.

Hi,

I'm using the 3.2-3 release of eZP.

Is there a possibility to complete this kind of task in template code:

I have folder "Articles" and there folders that are the categories.
In the category folders I have my articles.

I need to fetch on my frontpage 5 newest articles. They have to come from all the categories...

I just has to show the category the article belongs to and the title of the article...

So the fetching should check 22 category folders for newest articles and show only 5 newest of them...
But I don't know how to build that kind of fetch...

Thanks,
Jerry

If my understanding is correct, you have a tree structure like this:

articles
-- category 1
---- article 1
---- article 2
-- category 2
---- article 3
---- article 4

Template example of how to fetch the five newest articles:

{let articles=fetch( content, tree, hash( parent_node_id, NODE_ID,
sort_by,array( published, false() ),
limit, 5,
class_filter_type, include,
class_filter_array, array( 'article' ) ) )}

{section name=Child loop=$articles}
{node_view_gui view='line' content_node=$:item}
{/section}

{/let}

Replace NODE_ID with the node id to the article folder.
