Automatic News List about last changes in the content.html

Post by Thestrale » Tue Jun 24, 2008 9:07 pm

I wonder me if it is possible to create a list at the startpage to inform about the last articles in the <h> structure. I've got an idea to make it possible. Blogger.com works with the concept to make placeholders in the template. My Idea is:

ANL = Automatic News List

Code: Select all

<h1><ANLTITLE>New Plugin</ANLTITLE></h1>
<ANLTIME>200806242228</ANLTIME> /*Selftagging - 24.06.2008 22:28 "to sort the list" */
This is a text. speaks the administrator, but this is very important. <ANLDISCRIPTION>This is the new plugin for cmsimple, its show you the last articles at the mainpage</ANLDISCRIPTION> or on every other section.
<ANLIMAGE><img scr="./images/newplugin.jpg></ANLIMAGE>
Is it possible to make with this demonstrated tags a list to output the latest changes on the content.htm? http://www.gmx.de has a nice list at its startpage and on our homepage http://www.tierheim-freiberg.org we have every week new entries. I would very happy when i have a little information about the newest articles on the startpage or on a topic like "Last changes".

And very important is, when i move a topic the link to this topic have to refresh und have to proove itself. (When we can place a animal in a new family the topic of this animal will move to another topic in the tree of the <h> structure.) A list with an overview of the two last month could be very interesting . And another needs three entries for his page, perhaps. I think when I save the content.htm its create a textfile, which works with the new plugin. On the content.htm should insert the code as everytime...

Code: Select all

#CMSimple $output.=anl('./anl'dd'mm'yy'aa'./anl/css');#
or so ('link'days'months'years'articles'different css code) - sorting by the last time or last articles - whatever you need or what you will show. So you can display the list on different places with different settings. A short view on the startpage and a bigger one at "Lastest changes" if you want.

I think "genizlastestnews" is not the best choice to make it and its good for little anouncements.

On other hand could it possible the tags works with other ideas of new plugins, because every article can find by time and in the structure of the content.htm

For questions PM in german please, if it possible for you. thanx

remember that you can only use those <H.>-tags which are you below your menue depth

so it can start only with <H4> if you have a 3-level-menue

Something like the GMX-List is possible with Jens' Previewnavigator (not automatic):
http://cmsimple-styles.com/cmsimplestyl ... wNavigator

And there's Peters Whatsnew-Plugin:
http://cmsimplewiki.com/doku.php/plugins/whatsnew

Maybe a modificated Version of one of those Plugins fits your requirements...

Thanx for the answers.

This plusgin has no preview. That's pity.

I installed it and its looks like a logfile, and the informations depend on the content and so you can read plugin hacks... :shock: http://www.tierheim-freiberg.org/cms/index.php?Neues

I will work on it, but its not my idea to show new content like the little box at gmx. By the way i must change many thing, but all to show isn't very interesting. I will proof and think about it. I will wait how it looks in a few days or weeks. But it isn't something what i really imagine to display new content on the startpage.
