I am confused, is there a [PRINT] token to use for printer friendly versions?

Also, is there a way to list the last XX comments? Having the latest articles sorted by "most comments" is great, but actually showing the comments would be excellent. So instead of Latest Articles, you'd have "Latest Comments" with the first XX characters of the comment. (kinda like ths: http://blogs.chron.com/nickanderson/)

Can that be done currently?

Lastly, is there a way to show the archives in Calendar format instead of monthly format? So users can click on an actual date and be taken to that day's entries?

Here's some code to make that happen. Use both together in your Listing.Item.html

[HASLINK]Visit website[/HASLINK]

[HASMOREDETAIL]Read more[/HASMOREDETAIL]

Scott's [HASstuff] tokens are ideal for this sort of thing.

beh cr*p.. the forum has rendered the code instead of displaying it... here it is again, but with parentheses in place of angle brackets to stop it rendering.

[HASLINK](a target="_blank" title="Click to open this site in a new window" href='[LINK]')Visit website(/a)[/HASLINK]

[HASMOREDETAIL](a href='[ARTICLELINK]' title="Click to read the full article")Read more(/a)[/HASMOREDETAIL]

Change () back to <>

These are some great ideas, I personally like the calendar format too. The archives is currently only in the monthly format, but I can see a need for daily selections. I will add this to my list. (can you add it to the feedback center?)

I could make some enhancements to "News Articles Latest" to include the XXX comments, currently, you can only link to article, but comments would be great. (Can you also add it to the feedback center)

I actually met Will from Active Forums this week (while in the U.S.). He told me that you should be able to use some special tokens to handle posting code, so here goes:-

[code]Dim objTest as new TestController[/code]

Edit: It doesn't looked like it worked, I'll post some further info later.

I think you're wanting to do what I also wanted when I first set this up... you basically don't want that menu visible to people browsing the site reading articles.

I hacked the menu around so that it vanishes unless you have rights to it. Because the forum will mess up the code, I've attched a zip with my version of menu.item.html

Replace yours with it and see if you like it... log in and out to see the differences.

The only remaining question is how to provide public access to the categories, search and syndication pages now that the text menu is gone. You can simply add new pages to the Solpart, but instead of making them pages, tick the box that makes them link to an existing page. Paste in the direct links to the required pages and you're set.

Mind you. for visitors, I just ditch those pages altogether now.

Hope that helps.

Hi Scott,

What I miss in the original article about tokens is which tokens I can use in the email templates.

Thanks, Sijmen
