Hi, I want to include the latest forum posts on a page outside the forum.
this gets me the actual post data I need (title, content,create date):
public function LatestIdeas() {
return DataObject::get("Post","","ID desc","",5);
}But I also want to include the Author name along with this....can anyone help with this??
A post has a relationship with a member namely a author ID. So you can do $Author in the template gets you the Author object then you can do things like $Author.Nickname to get their nickname
Thanks will.
It all seems so straightforward when someone else spells it out for you....:)
