Frog CMS

Hi,

Im new to frog CMS (its quite nice, easiest CMS ive had the pleasure of skinning.

Im trying to display the titles of my latest blog entries in a menu/box on my website. Now i used the code that was already there for the blog after it was created. But i cant seem to get it to replicate the info where i want it.

I’ve put it in a snippet to include on certain pages, the code is as follows.
<?php $blog_pages = $this->find(’/blog/’)->children(); ?>

<?php foreach( $blog_pages->children(array(‘limit’ => 4, ‘offset’ => 1, ‘order’ => ‘page.created_on DESC’)) as $article ): ?>
<div class=“entry”> <h3><?php echo $article->link(); ?></h3> <?php echo $article->content(); ?> <?php if ($article->hasContent(‘extended’)) echo $article->link(‘Continue Reading&#8230;’); ?> <p class=“info”>Posted by <?php echo $article->author(); ?> on <?php echo $article->date(); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

and the code for my blog page.

<?php $last_articles = $this->children(array(‘limit’=>5, ‘order’=>‘page.created_on DESC’)); ?>
<?php foreach ($last_articles as $article): ?>
<div class=“entry”> <h3><?php echo $article->link($article->title); ?></h3> <?php echo $article->content(); ?> <p class=“info”>Posted by <?php echo $article->author(); ?> on <?php echo $article->date(); ?> <br />tags: <?php echo join(’, ‘, $article->tags()); ?> </p>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

sidebar

<?php $article = $this->find(’/blog/’); ?>
<?php $archives = $article->archive->archivesByMonth(); ?>

<h3>Archives By Month</h3>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($archives as $date): ?> <li><a href=”<?php echo BASE_URL . $this->url .’/’. $date . URL_SUFFIX; ?>”><?php echo strftime(’%B %Y’, strtotime(strtr($date, ‘/’, ‘-’))); ?></a></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

I read through the forums and found this topic, but i dont get it. it doesnt seem to want to work. http://forum.madebyfrog.com/forum/topic/425
