Recent Entries not working
So I have a markdown file where I want to show some recent entries at the end. According to the reference, this should work:
{{#recent_entries}}
<p><a href="{{url}}">{{title}}</a><br>
{{#date}}<span itemprop="datePublished" content="{{dateStamp}}">{{date}}</span>{{/date}}</p>
{{/recent_entries}}
But it doesn't, unfortunately. I just get a blank space where the recent entries should be. :(
Also, the reference says it shows the 30 most recent posts. That's too many for my needs. Is there a way to limit that to 5?
Thanks!
Just add a bit more info here - I've injecting the code into a markdown page with {{> recent-posts}} this works fine on my error.html page for whenever a 404 is displayed, but it just won't work on the MD page.
I assumed it was something to do with the fact it was a Markdown page, so I changed it to HTML, but that didn't work either. :-(
Answered 2 years ago · Edit answerAre you trying to embed the recent entries in a page or post, or in a template view? At the moment, you can't use template code in posts or pages, only in template views
In terms of limiting the number of recent entries: you can use CSS to hide all but the first five items
Answered 2 years ago · Edit answerI'm trying to embed into a page. If that's the case, can I create a template view and use that as the page?
Answered 2 years ago · Edit answerIt's ok, I figured it out - managed to add it using package.json. Thanks for the CSS tip too.
Answered 2 years ago · Edit answerThis is a great reference. I'm trying to avoid displaying the most recent entry in the list (since I'm showing it in the main blog page). I have the recent entries wrapped in a "recent" div and I'm targeting the
tag using this code:
.recent p:first-child {
display: none;
}
It's still displaying the most recent post. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
