Make folder's default view the contents of an item based on latest date
Hi I'm using Plone 2.5.1 on Mac OSX 10.4 and Win XP. I have the following folder structure: Daily News All Archive 2006 Jan Feb ... Jan, Feb, etc are smart folder that select items based on their effective date. This allows news items to be automatically classified. I'd like users to add items to folder All. When users click Daily News, I'd like the most recent item to be shown. I don't want a link to the most recent item but its contents so Daily News always shows the contents of the most recent news item. Someone suggested adding a smart folder (say, Latest) under Daily News and letting it pick items. Then make Latest the default content item for Daily News. This however results in the items being shown as a list of links in Daily News. I want the content of the latest always visible under Daily News. Any suggests? If I have to code something, please provide clues. I've developed in many languages but not Python (I'm going through Python in a Nutshell, at the moment). Thanks Praful
Praful, Quills (a webblog Product for Zope/Plone) works something like that. Perhaps you should take a look through its source code for clues as how to implement your archival mechanism?
