[EP-tech] Re: last additions rather than latest

Hi Derek,

No need for SSI (but feel free to use that trick), a simple Ajax request will do:

<script type="text/_javascript_">
    new Ajax.Updater( 'fplatest', '/cgi/latest_tool', { parameters: { "mode":"fplatest", "mainonly":"yes" } } );
</script>

This would insert the latest additions to the element whose ID is "fplatest" (the 1st param of Ajax.Updater).

Just adapt the code above just note the use of "mainonly = yes" to ask the cgi to return only the page fragment/content rather than the entire html document.

Seb.

Thanks John, before I could even get a reply in asking how you would use
it!
Is it possible to then use that on the index/homepage?
I've read another entry on here with someone using php SSi's to do that,
wasn't sure if it was possible without that method?

Thanks

Bad form replying to myself (twice in a row too ­ sorry!).

For completeness,
http://your.repository/cgi/latest_tool?n=5 will show the 5 latest.

You can also configure some other defaults in
~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cfg/cfg.d/latest_tool.pl which are then called like
http://your.repository/cgi/latest_tool?mode=articles&n=5
(for the commented example in latest_tool.pl).

Cheers,
John

Try
http://your.repository/cgi/latest_tool - which displays the most recent 20
items by default (I think).
It¹s in here: ~/cgi/latest_tool
If you¹re running multiple repositories on one server, you can copy it to
~/archives/ARCHIVEID/cgi/ to create a repository-specific version of it.

Cheers,
John

Hi,
Is it possible (I presume it is, just don't know how) to change the
"Latest Additions" to "Last Additions", I can't quite often go weeks
without anything being added and would prefer something was shown on the
page rather than leaving it empty.

Thanks
Derek
