Hi everyone,

Having just worked out how to let anyone (anonymous users) add comments to articles, I now need some way to only have articles (no comments) showing up in the Latest News section of the toolbar. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm sure this is quite easy to do and I'm just missing a trick somewhere.

Any help much appreciated and Happy Easter!

Tim

First you need to find the template that is in charge for the latest news.

In this case it is: design/standard/templates/toolbar/full/node_list.tpl

Then you create an override template for it. There are a few different methods to do this. In this example I just saved the template to design/plain/override/templates/toolbar/full/ as plain is my sitedesign.

In this template you have to look for "fetch( content, tree,..."

Change

  ...
  class_filter_type, exclude,
  class_filter_array, array( 'folder' ),
  ...

to:

  ...
  class_filter_type, exclude,
  class_filter_array, array( 'folder', 'comment' ),
  ...
