I installed this for a client - and now they're asking for a way to archive their news. Any way to do that?

The easier is to create a different page called "news archive", and get your client to drag the old pages into that.

If you want to do it automatically, you could write a different Children() method on your news page that only listed the 10 most recent items, and an ArchiveChildren() method that will return older items:

function Children() {
  // return the current items;
}
function ArchiveChildren() {
  // return archived items
}

function archive() {
  return array(
    "Children" => $this->ArchiveChildren(),
  );
}

That way, you have two URLs:
* http://www.mysite.com/news/ - the news
* http://www.mysite.com/news/archive - the news archive.

What happens is this:
* When you visit news/archive, it uses the archive action to visit the news page
* This means that the archive() method gets called on the controller object.
* Since it returns an array, this is interpreted as being changes to the controller data. In this case, we've provided new data for <% control Children %>

You can also, if you want, make a new template called (classname)_archive.ss

Hi Sam,

I'm trying to achieve the same thing.
Do those two methods need to be placed in the in the ArticleHolder class?
I copy/pasted them in there, but I'm having a hard time getting it to work.
Also, how do I specify only displaying the five most recent articles?

Thanks!
