Fetching articles from parent folder

Sunday 08 February 2004 2:56:41 pm

Hmm where are you storing the dates then? You say you are using the Article class, but that does not have any dates? I have also made an calendar the following way:

Class: Calendar_folder (Name, Description), only having Calendar_event as children
Class: Calendar_event (Name, intro, body, image, when (datetime))

I then in my Calendar_folder template fetch all Calendar_events sorted on when. You could do something like that and use {switch}{case} to terminate the displaying of the Calendar_events, or use more advanced fetch functionality.

Cheers

Hmm again where is your date? Anyway here is my template code for my solution. I am using two view, standard full which show ALL events, and a inline view which only show the 4 upcoming ones.

Docs for making an new view: http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site/the_news_page/news_archive

{* Full Calendar Folder view, shows all children of type Calendar event sorted on date *}
<h1>{$node.name}</h1>
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.description}
{* Listing of children *}
{* Fetch all children of calendar event type (none other objects should be in the calendar class!) *}
{let cal_list=fetch('content',list,
hash(parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
class_filter_type, include,class_filter_array, array(20),
sort_by,array('attribute',true(),175)))}
{* Where attribute 175 is an Date field called when *}

<ul class="content_list">
{section loop=$cal_list max=4}
<li><h2><a href={concat("/content/view/full/",$item.node_id)|ezurl}>
{$item.name} {'on'|i18n('design/gsa/node/view')}
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$item.data_map.when}
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$item.data_map.time}</a></h2>

</ul>

<div class="calendar">
