Include latest Child content within parent page

[bartcha]

hi,

I have been trying all kind of solutions to get this work. What i have is a simple tree for a sitesection with newsletters. The parent page should consist of the content of the most recent child-page. (All the others are accessible through the 'archive-listing').

Is seems like such an easy question - but i haven't managed yet...

anyone?!

thanks
Bart

You could have a look at "Content_Dump": http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ntent_dump

It's a plug-in for pulling content from a selection of pages. You can then display e.g. the 4 newest pages on a parent page or things like these.

Thanks for your answer. I actually have been looking at that tag before. Somehow i keep getting "Smarty-errors' which i cant get solved.

string(142) "Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 6]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: $dump->content->data (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 446)" string(117) "Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 6]: syntax error: unrecognized tag '' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)"

the code i have now is:

Code: Select all

{content_dump start_id="105" limit_count="1" first_sort="created" first_sort_order="down"}

{foreach from=$dump item=dump}

{$dump->content->data}

{/foreach}

mhh... I exactly copied your sample (except for the ID) and it works with no problem. You could try adding { ... assign="dump" ... }.  I'm not 100% sure if the public version requires a value for that parameter or not atm. You could also try naming your item e.g. "dump_item" and use

Code: Select all

{content_dump start_id="105" limit_count="1" first_sort="created" first_sort_order="down" assign="dump"}

{foreach from=$dump item=dump_item}

{$dump_item->content->data}

{/foreach}

Let me know if that helped you.

Hi Nils,

Thanks again for thinking with me. Unfortunately no luck. Still the Smarty-error. This is the exact copy of what i tried.

Code: Select all

{content_dump start_id="105" limit_count=1 first_sort="created" first_sort_order="down" assign="dump"}

{foreach from=$dump item=dump_item}

{$dump_item->content->data}

{/foreach}

and still the error:

string(147) "Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: $dump_item->content->data (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 446)" string(117) "Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag '' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)"

If i leave the foreach-loop out i get no error. Not sure if that means that the "tag" is parsed correctly and should work?
Is there anything else to consider in the code? I can just paste the code in the WysiWyg-editor, right? (i automatically start looking for something 'stupid'

cheers

Using CGSimpleSmarty.

{$cgsimple->get_children('','',$children)}
{section name=foo loop=$children step=-1 max=1}
{$cgsimple->get_page_content($children[foo].alias,'',$child_content)}
{eval var=$child_content}
{/section}
