[Snippet] NewsListing 6.4.2 [Stable]

Lets just say we’ve got the perfect name for it. I’m finishing up the logo and whatnot for it so it can be unveiled soon.

Indeed... 0.9.5 will bring lots of newly revised (e.g., totally re-factored and simpler) names for functional code bits that are more appropriate titles for their multi-purpose capabilities. After all you can use Newslisting for far more things than just posting news articles and blogs...

Preparing an icon. Must be some fancy stuff coming up.

I don’t want to start an avalanch of leaks, but since the crumbs were dropped, can we expect 0.9.5 before the end of June or are we talking more like by the end of Summer?

Before the end of May sound better?

Like for instance doing a company directory I just love NewsListing !

...and here’s a Swedish translation of the language file for NewsListing snippet.

The only thing pending is the exact meaning of the penultimate clause [debug_out_of] . ’Out of’ can have at least six different meanings in the target language, so for the sake of clarity it would be good if someone could just put the phrase in context, please.

Anyone...?

Are you referring to the way it was done in the MODx blog?

That is exactly what I’m trying to work out. What are you typing in your document/chunks/templates etc. to get the list to render like this - by author that is?

Also, is it possible to filter lists by a comma delimited list of words in a TV? For example, if I have a TV with a series of category names such as photography, humour, travel in it on a document, I’d like to then have an index page that has all documents with the word (category) photography in category TV listed. Is this possible and how to go about this?

I get the feeling that &filter and &filtertype may be able to do something like this. however the documentation doesn’t seem to explicitly show what to type to use and call these options.

Thanks

Hi Mark !

All is right
I would like to format date differently for document (summarized) and archive. Could you make it possible for the next released ?

Thanks for all !

Guillaume, use this parameter:

&dateformat - the format for the summary date (see http://php.net/strftime ) [%d-%b-%y %H:%M]

@mjarecki : The author pages are simply another MODx folder (specific to that author) with another NewsListing call.

Currently there is no way to do categories in the manner you suggest but that is definiately on the horizon. Could add that to the NewsListing bug/feature tracker so I don’t forget about it again? (David mentioned it a long time ago...) Also, if you use comma spaced lists for TV’s and are setting up a site to use that filter code once its finished, make sure that you use no spaces! PHP will have a headache if you do a, b, c instead of a,b,c.

Thanks Mark
I should not have been very clear. I would like format date for document like "Wednesday 25 december 2005" and for archive like "25/12/2005". I call one time the snippet to generate the list of documents and the archive. You can see a real example here.
