Scott, Just getting my teeth into customizing the template and run into a issue of extra code in the 'latest' template.
First, you have declared class="RealEstateLink" twice in the link - minor issue.
Second, when I use this template the code is being modified. (attached in case) My template:
//header
State | Title | Overview | link |
|---|
//item
[EDIT] [CUSTOM:STATE] | [CUSTOM:TITLE] | [CUSTOM:Introduction] | Full details |
//footer
Location | Title | Overview | link |
I get this result...
Location | Title | Overview | link |
|---|
Location Title Overview link |
Attachment: latest.zip
|

The attachment shows both the template and the output. The output has been reformatted with extra table data which;
a) Generates non-compliant code and,
b) Reduces my ability to control the appearance. (ie the headers won't line up with the data.) |

You are right, it does wrap it in a table (datalist to be exact) to allow customizations such as repeat items per row.
You'll probably need to work int he constraints of the table. |

I see - nested repeating would be a challenge.
How about a "simple" template option so we can regain full control over the template? Naturally some features would be sacrificed in this mode.

What I'm doing for News Articles Latest is to have an option for layout, you choose either a DataList or a Repeater, if you choose datalist you can specify repeat direction, size, etc.
Repeater would remain very simple. |

Sounds like what I need.
Now the ever present and nagging "when-ish?" question. |

Hi Scott.
Good work getting 1.2 out!
You mentioned having the option for simple layouts but I haven't found the setting: where should I be looking?
Also, how can I manage what properties belong to what users? IE the receptionist is going to be adding listings but they need to belong to the agents.

A property belongs to the user who submitted it. You can assign submit permissions to any role.
I'll re-look at the repeat layout.. |

Re: record ownership
I ran into this with the news articles too. Can Host have control over who owns what?
Rational: I have employees adding old artilces on behave of clients and then the client doesn't get listed as the author. This would also help when people leave the company etc.

Yep, I wish there was some internal DNN control for selecting a user. If I use a dropdown it could have 1000s of users in it which wouldn't be really practical.
I think the latest documents module uses something that I could use. |
