Yes, David in 6.3.x series the emptytext appears twice. This has already been fixed in the 6.5 development code.

Great, thanks !

Hmmm, tried the 6.5 version posted here, but it still gets displayed twice... maybe there’s a new one ?

That is a very old 6.5 dev version from nearly 18 days ago! When I said this:

I meant my local development copy. Sorry for the confusion.

I updated to version 6.5 a few days ago, and just noticed a very strange thing. I use NewsListing to simply pull up the full text of the latest article. Take a look at this, check the date, and then check the date in the actual article page using the link to the right.

I’m using a very simple template,



and I call the snippet in the home page document like this:

Very very simple issue. Let me take a guess that the date is contained within the article as a snippet? If so, then the snippet is executing with the current page (the home page) which was created on that date.

You are correct. Heh. You can tell that that home page has been hanging around just getting modified since the early days of Etomite!

Now to figure out how to get the date to display properly both on the home page and on the individual page.

Ok, set the one from the document in the newslisting container to display:none, and added the [+date+] placeholder to the template and floated it right.

Very simple indeed.

Yeah I thought so, not much confusion there

I just did a quick try on the fly, to make sure...

For the dumbies out there (like me ), the newsnippet is different from the old Etomite version in that you encapsulate parameters with ` marks instead of ’ marks. So ’startID’ has become `startID`.....

Only took 2 hours to notice this!

This is the case with all snippets.

Hello,

can we use rss with filter cause I just add &format=`rss` to options but I have just the header of the xml and no news.
is there a special way to provide rss with this wonderfull snippet?
Thanks

That mean no items passed the filter
