NewsListing with Subdirectories

Hi,
I’m trying to News all my Documents also in Subdirectories.
I’ll try to explain it...:
Document Tree:
* First Directory
--*Subdirectory 1
- Document 1
- Document 2
--*Subdirectory 2
- Document 1
- Document 2
* Second Directory

So, now if i go to the First Directory, then I wan’t to get a kind of ListMenu with links to my Documents.
like this:
Subdirectory 1
- Document 1
- Document 2
Subdirectory 2
- Document 1
- Document 2


Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot,
Christian

( Sorry for my bad english ;-) )

Which part are you having difficulty with: Creating the articles in the right place via NewsPublisher or creating a call to DropMenu or Newslisting to display them?

I’ve difficulty with creating a Newslisting.I’ve tried it with "[!NewsListing? &summarize=`0`!]", but the output is just Subdirectory 1 + 2.

Thanks

Right now NewsListing cannot handle subdirectories but we are working on it.

Is there any workaround?

I tried to use 2 NewsListing ("[!NewsListing?StartID=’1’ &summarize=`0`!]" + "[!NewsListing?StartID=’2’ &summarize=`0`!]"), but that leads to an error...

or can I built a DropMenu which creates this? (I’ve just managed to get an output with all Directorys (not only Directory 1)).

Wish you good luck in fixing this "problem"

No, there are no current workarounds if you plan on using the NewsListing snippet.

will that be possible with dropmenu? Never done it, but there might be a way, by hacking into the snippet.

Please vote for the API addition GetAllSubDocs in the following thread if you wish NewsListing to have support for subdirectories:

What error? You should be able to use it all you like with no errors.

StartID should be startID, I think, though.
