Hi all,

I have a question concerning the news listing.

* I have deleted and unpublished some news items, but they still show up in the NewsListing snippet. How can I get rid of those items?
Decreasing the limit works, but this is not the desired way :-)

Any ideas?

Tx,
Barry

Make sure the page that the newsListing shows up on isn't cached. You can also refresh the site from the admin panel. This option is under "Site" in the upper left corner.

Hmm... I just notice that I am posting in the wrong forum? Apoligies for that :-/

Anyway, I found the problem.
I asked etomite to also retrieve the deleted field

$resource = $etomite->getAllChildren($resourceparent, 'createdon', 'DESC', $fields='id, pagetitle, description, content, createdon, createdby, deleted');

In stead of

$resource = $etomite->getAllChildren($resourceparent, 'createdon', 'DESC', $fields='id, pagetitle, description, content, createdon, createdby);

And afterwards checked if the deleted field was not set:

if (!$resource[$x]['deleted'])
{
         $output .= "<fieldset><legend>".$resource[$x]['pagetitle']."</legend>".$rest."<br /><div style='text-align:right;'>Author: <b>".$username."</b> on ".strftime("%d-%m-%y %H:%M:%S", $resource[$x]['createdon'])."</div></fieldset>"; 
}

and

if (!$resource[$x]['deleted'])
{
      $output .= "> <a href='[~".$resource[$x]['id']."~]'>".$resource[$x]['pagetitle']."</a><br />";          
}

That did the trick.

If you only wanted the published and non-deleted items to show, you could have just changed:

$etomite->getAllChildren

to

$etomite->getActiveChildren

Thanks! Much better
