Description (Last modified by pragma)

After getting the RecentTopicsSummary onto the Tango frontpage, a few more requests for improvements have shown themselves.

  • The role of the poster should be diminished (optionally probably), and in particular the profile name should be possible to not be a link - apparently a few tend to click on my profile every day :P
  • "View older topics" should be customizable to say "View older news"
  • Possibly just more of a possibility to customize through stylesheets.
  • Possibly more of a possibility to customize via Webadmin
  • RSS feed (see also the next ticket I'm creating) for just this macro invocation

Lars, I agree on all points. I'm just as unhappy with the formatting as you are.

If you or anyone else has a suggestion on a better format/layout, I'm open to suggestions. :)

[104] has put the existing macros back online, with some display problems. These should be resolved in [105]

  • description changed.

Most of this is taken care of in [105]. Optional args are now supported, ala python, so the call signature now looks like this:

RecentTopicsSummary?(forum,maxposts=10,viewMoreText='View Older Topics...') Example: 

[[RecentTopicsSummary('Test Forum')]]

CSS classes are attached to the resulting table, which should make it flexible enough to change the output.

  • description changed.

I'll see about getting some screenshots online this week if we don't go to Beta soon.

04/25/08 22:15:26 changed by pragma

  • status changed from assigned to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

The RSS feed link can be established manually in the wiki text. There's no need to burden the macro with generating the link if it may not be needed.
