Blogs Made Simple: Trouble listing just titles

[amorre]

I have blogs made simple completely figured out except for one thing.

In my page I have {Blogs numentries="3"} and that works fine

Also in my template I have a div that I want to just show titles of say, the last 5 articles

I can get it to show the categories I have but I can not get it to show just the titles of past or recent articles written.

I just want to show a list of the past like 5 or 6 blog posts written.  And link to them.

Am i missing something really easy here?

Please help.  Thank You

Code: Select all

<div class="blogs-showcategorylistbox">
  <div class="blogs-showcategorylistheader">
  {$categoriestext}
  </div>
  <div class="blogs-showcategorylistcategories">    
    {if $itemcount>0} 
      {foreach from=$items item=category}
      <div class="blogs-showcategorylistcategory">
      {$category->title} ({$category->noentries} 
      {if $category->noentries==0}
        {$noentries})
      {elseif $category->noentries==1}
        {$entrytext})
      {else}
        {$entriestext})
      {/if}
      </div>
      {/foreach}
  {else} 
    {$noentriestext}
  {/if}
  </div>
</div>

   

I have been trying to edit this here to display an array of titles. 
this code is from the category list tab

changine $entrystext to {$entry->title} returns one result but no more.

I don't think they're providing support for this module anymore since the Comments work around came out for the News module. =\

This module is fully supported, but I don't think {foreach from=$items item=category} array has titles in it just catagories so you may have to add another item= type thing but hey I'm no programmer...

Mark is the Blog module still based on News or is it different? If on News is it at the latest version. Sorry, to ask here. I only ask as a friend wants to use it.

Meanwhile back at the post....

If you use {get_template_vars} (hint it's a tag) in your template, the variables from the module will be listed and should help you with your Smarty

Blogs Made Simple is written from the ground up, mine was a reworked News module, I still use/have it but wish I could get multi categories to work in it then it would be done...

[Russ]

When you say

I still use/have it but wish I could get multi categories to work in it then it

Do you mean your version based on news, because doesn't news have categories?

Blogs Made Simple is

I presume you mean Blogs-0.3.0b2?

Perhaps I'd better stop hjacking this thread

I tried Blogs-0.3.0b2, but after the installation I couldn't list my content pages – got a announcement of a fatal error -> see my message: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... #msg119389

Silly, silly me.

After clean re-installation of 1.4 everything works fine.

@Russ

I would like it to be able to put an article under more than one category, and have the categories link to a list of articles in that category...
