    • displaying a pre-selection of articles WITHIN an other page?

    Posted by eSeL posts: 40 Austria

    i am trying to show - for example - just a selection the 5 most recent articles WITHIN the startingpage.
    and would love to be able to further select by topic/category. (or even more pre-selection)
    but i could not find any links/hints towards the syntax i need to use.

    the homepage of THIS very TikiWiki, seems to use exactly what i need:
    (http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=Home&source=0)
    e.g. it seems to list the most recentarticles, but restricts them to 10 (max=>10)


    i would need more information, more samples..., maybe even some documentation...
    where can i learn, look up, - or at least, examine other successful uses of that syntax?

    i only found this page, but this only helps for selecting/filtering articles for own arcticle-pages (not including them in other pages)
    http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Articles+User&highlight=filter%20articles


    i would be very thankful for any advice

    ps. admin of tikiwiki 1.8.5. - might be a while before i get my sysadmin to update to 1.9...,
    ps. i am responsible for content, so i don´t "speak" php (yet) - but i am willing to learn... - or any other "language" that i would need to configure

    What you need to do is use the ARTICLES plugin in a wiki page to display articles. In this site's source code, you can see

    Copy to clipboard
    {ARTICLES(max=>10)}{ARTICLES}
    . This is how the articles are included. You can also limit the articles to a particular topic. See PluginArticles for the details. No speaking PHP required. 😉
