MovableBlog: Better way to highlight most recently added?
Nuance 2.0
July 18, 2002
Is there a better way to highlight the most recently added entries in an alphabetically sorted (or any way other than by time) than what I cobbled together at this ungodly hour?
<?php
$last_five = array();
<MTEntries lastn="5">
$last_five[] = <$MTEntryID$>;
</MTEntries>
?>
<MTCategories>
<MTEntries sort_by="title" sort_order="ascend">
<?php
if (in_array(<$MTEntryID$>, $last_five))
{
?>
<b><$MTEntryBody$></b><br />
<?php
}
else
{ ?>
<$MTEntryBody$><br />
<?php
}
?>
</MTEntries>
</MTCategories>
For an example, see the sidebar here.
A plugin, with a tag like something like <MTIfMostRecent lastn="n"> etc., would be way preferable to using PHP (not that I don't like PHP!).
