no need of editing anything then, just on the widgets backend put 6 where it asks you how many posts you need to show.

Hi,
I'd like to do the same as the original post in this thread... pull together multiple blogs into a news site (simple site of multiple categories). Wondering how would I set this up.. duplicating BlogHolder as OneByOne mentioned? Would that be the preferred way to manage something like that or simply take advantage of tag cloud and use that as 'categories'? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks

hi,
I added a new build of the widget at http://open.whynotonline.com/latest-blog-post/
This might solve your problem.
thanks

I changed the layout for the latest post widget. I don't like to show the whole post entry, as it can be quite large. Also I delete the html entities like Breakks or Urls or ...
So I show the source code (for LatestForumPostWidget.php) to do this:
<?php
class LatestForumPostWidget extends Widget{//The widget info
static $title = "Newest Posts";
static $cmsTitle = "Newest Posts";
static $description = "This widget displays latest forum post on the side bar, you need to install the Forum module to make use of this widget";protected static $MaxNrLines=3;
protected static $MaxNrPosts=3;
/**
* Set max number of lines per post to display
*
* @param integer $val
*/
public static function set_max_nr_lines($val) {
self::$MaxNrLines = $val;
}
/**
* Set max number of posts to display
*
* @param integer $val
*/
public static function set_max_nr_posts($val) {
self::$MaxNrPosts = $val;
}//Return the latest
function getPosts(){
$output=null;
$posts = DataObject::get("Post", "", "Created DESC", "" , self::$MaxNrPosts);
// $ThisPost=$posts->First();
if ($posts->exists()) {
$output = new DataObjectSet();
foreach($posts as $ThisPost) {
$PostLines = "";
$PostTextCtr=1;
$PostTextLine = strtok($ThisPost->Content,"\n");
while ($PostTextLine !== false && $PostTextCtr<=self::$MaxNrLines) {
$PostLines .= $PostTextLine ;
if (++$PostTextCtr<=self::$MaxNrLines) { $PostLines .= "<br>"; }
$PostTextLine = strtok("\n");
}
// delete html-Entities
$PostLines=preg_replace("/\[[a-z\/A-Z0-9]+\]/","",$PostLines);
$output->push(new ArrayData(array(
"Link" => $ThisPost->Link(),
"Title" => $ThisPost->title,
"Content" => $PostLines . "<a href=\"" . $ThisPost->Link() . "\"> .....</a>"
)));
}
}
return $output;
}
}?>
