Re: Static pages, Blogs

Hi

That's all possible, I'm just a little bit busy right now to answer the
questions in detail. Some pointers nevertheless and jist ask again, if
something's not clear.

You already get the latest news on the right side, you can do that
similarly for the whole content. see

   <xsl:for-each
select="document('portlet://blog/rss.xml')/bx/plugin/xhtml:html/xhtml:body/xhtml:div[@class='entry'
and position() &lt; 6]">
                <li>
                    <a
href="{xhtml:div[@class='post_links']/xhtml:span[@class='post_uri']/xhtml:a/@href}">
                        <xsl:value-of select="xhtml:h2"/>
                    </a>

                </li>
            </xsl:for-each>

from master.xsl and adjust it accordingly.

Feed per author is not possible yet, one has to code that into the blog
plugin.

the best thing is to use the call-php-functions-from-xsl way. For example

    <xsl:param name="themeCss"
select="php:functionString('bx_helpers_config::getOption','themeCss')"/>

you can call any php function this way (not in freeflux, but in your own
installation)

With the 2 methods from above :) getting the content from the rss.xml
and then truncating it with a php function within xsl

hope that helps for a start
