Hi Alex,
I didn't really want to create a specific navigation file for news and
events so I've have set the news and events to order by date and done it
as follows:
<xsl:template match="newsbodytext">
<xsl:variable name="emailadd" select="@email"/>
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
<xsl:variable name="include" select="ancestor::cms:include"/>
<xsl:if test="$pos < '5'">
<a href="{$rel-project-base}{$include/@directory}{$include/@basename}.html">
<xsl:value-of select="@title"/>
</a>
<br/>
<xsl:value-of select="summary"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Is that an 'okay' way of doing it?
Is the velocity template the one used for the ja-sig site? I have downloaded that and did use the RSS generation on a test site here. It works really well. However, at the moment since I am only live with 1.4 I haven't been able to use it for anything live.
Cheers
Carl
