[EP-tech] Re: Latest Additions

[Sebastien Francois]

Hi Seb,

A slightly simpler approach:

On your page:

<div id="fplatest"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
     new Ajax.Updater( 'fplatest', '/cgi/latest_tool', { parameters: { 
"mode":"fplatest", "mainonly":"yes" } } );
</script>

In your local configuration (archives/<id>/cfg/cfg.d/latest_modes.pl):

$c->{latest_tool_modes} = {
	default => { citation => "result" },
	fplatest => { citation => "result", max => 3 },
};


That will display the last 3 items, rendered using the "result.xml" 
citation.
