Question

Hello,

I would like to have a self-managed "What's new" section in my WebHome page. I tried several things with but nothing seems to work. Didn't find anything useful in the AnsweredQuestions. I just want to list the topics which are flaged "NEW" on the WebIndex topic and format them in a table with user, topic and summary.

Currently I'm using this syntax :

%SEARCH{ "\.*" scope="topic" regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on"
 order="modified" reverse="on" header="| *New*  | *Who*  | *Last update*  |"
 format="| [[$topic]]  | $wikiusername  | $date  |" limit="15" }%

This is the result, but I would prefer listing only new topics whithout having to limit the search to a fixed number.

Thanks in advance,

Seb.

Answer

To show only v1.1 topics do this:

%SEARCH{ "META:TOPICINFO.*version=\"1.1\"" regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on"
 order="modified" reverse="on" header="| *New*  | *Who*  | *Last update*  |"
 format="| [[$topic]]  | $wikiusername  | $date  |" limit="15" }%

e.g. this:

Thank you very much, that's exactly what I wanted.

The search described here may not work for users running Windows/Cygwin. If that's the case, try the following search instead:

%SEARCH{ "META:TOPICINFO.*version=.1\.1[^0-9]" regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on"
order="modified" reverse="on" header="| *Topic*  | *Created By*  | *Created On*  |"
format="| [[$topic]]  | $wikiusername  | $date  |" limit="15" }%

See NewTopicsListNotWorking for more details on this issue.
