Automtically Publish Teasers for All Recent Articles on One Page

Latest Articles Tag

The latest articles can be added to a page by using the following cf tag

<cf_mglatestarticles> 

This tag can be added where you would like the latest article teaser copy should be published.

Set the Number of Headlines

The number of headlines to display can be controlled by adding the attribute articles="x" where x is the number of headlines that you'd like to publish.

If you'd only like to publish the 10 latest headlines add articles="10" to the cf tag like this:

<cf_mglatestarticles articles="10">

Exclude Specific Departments

Sometimes you may have departments with content that might be secret or otherwise undesired to publish in this list.

To set specific departments so content in that department is not published add the attribute disallowed_depts="x,y,z" where x,y and z are the department numbers that you would not like to publish.

For example if you do not want to include content from departments 7, 12, and 39 that attribute would look like this

<cf_mglatestarticles disallowed_depts="7,12,39"> 

Each department number should be followed by a comma (except the last number in the list).

Do Not Include Content From Specific Departments

Only Include Specific Departments

You may only want to include content from a few departments in the published listing of your most recent articles.

To set your recent articles list to only include content from specific departments, add the attribute cf_mglatestarticles allowed_depts="w,x,y,z"

For example if you only want to include content from departments 10, 12, 17 and 29 that attribute would look like this

<cf_mglatestarticles allowed_depts="10,12,17,29"> 

Each department number should be followed by a comma (except the last number in the list).

Teaser Character Length

The most recent articles cf tag includes the ability to set the number of characters that will be published for the teaser copy. The attribute to add to the tag to set the teaser copy characters looks like this tease_length="x" where the number of teaser length would be substituted for x.

If you would like the teaser copy length to include 250 characters, the cf attribue would look like this:

<cf_mglatestarticles tease_length="250"> 

Each department number should be followed by a comma (except the last number in the list).
