List Recent Pages - joyofweaving.com - 2017-03-08
I have the latest version of Get-Simple 3.3.13 installed and am using it as the base for static articles on my site. I'm using News Manager with it as the base for blogging. There's a way of listing a certain number of recent posts with News Manager as well as archives automatically. I'd like to do the same thing with the articles in Get-Simple. How do I do that? Is there a code I can use or do I need a plug-in for this? If I need a plug-in for this, where can I find it? I looked thru them but didn't notice anything that could work for this. Any help very much appreciated. TIA

To display new or updated pages as links in the sidebar you would use I18N search. See http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/ . It is quite a powerful plugin so come back if you need help.

An example here:

(Remove
'tags'=>'_parent_blog', if you want to do it for all pages in the site.)

...and I have that! Thanks! <3 I'll give it a try.

Thanks again! Worked a charm! Now to figure out how to get something like this in an article rather than in the sidebar. I think I need I18n Special Pages for that.

You can also use the (% searchresults ... %) placeholder in a page content.

Thank you for the quick reply and thanks so much for all your help. Yep! I finally figured that out. I'm starting to understand a lot of how that works now. One thing left to figure out, unless you or someone knows: how to change the CSS for the special search results page? It's defaulting to the theme's css (Innovation) and the text is huge. I'd like to make it smaller.

Check the page source code, you'll find classes like search-entry-title that you can style in your custom css.

RE: List Recent Pages - joyofweaving.com - 2017-03-10
I just noticed this in the listed variables:
tagClassPrefix: If you set this parameter, all tags will be added as CSS classes - prefixed with this value - to the search results. You can use this to style the results based on tags.
I'll try using this prefix variable after creating a style for it in the theme's CSS. If you don't hear from me again, you know it worked.

I remembered that if I look at the page's source code that we can see the classes there. I see where the custom class is created and what it's called, now I just need to get the css for it to work. It's been a long time since I've done this and have forgotten most of how to do it. I'll be googling for css help. Thanks again.
