[geeklog-devel] Geeklog What's New Block

[Tom]

Along with a newstories flag in index.php for new stories:

 

http://www.geeklogsite.com/index.php?display=new

 

there is a $displayall one. Is that used anywhere (I don't remember ever
using it)? 

 

If not, I am going to remove it along with the new stories flag when I
upgrade the What's New Block.

I think that having a bullet list of the stories is nicer.

 

I've added a note to the discussion saying that index.php shows correct
icons when ?display=all and incorrect when ?display=new

I am not sure why it was designed like this but for the What's New Block for
Stories it creates a link that says something like:

 

7 new Stories in the last 7 days

 

I think this should work like the other items displayed in this block
(comments, staticpages, etc..) by listing the new stories and displaying a
link to each new story.

 

Currently clicking on the link recreates the homepage but with stories that
are new. This is confusing for users since:

 

-          it looks like you are on the homepage (ie all the blocks,
centerblocks etc.. are the same)

-          there is no mention that these are new stories.

-          The new stories may not be visible from the top of the page and
the user may have to scroll down to see the first one since  the
centerblocks from the homepage are displayed

 

There is also actually a few bugs when displaying the what's new stories
page (it is treated like the homepage by some functions and all topics for
others)

 

Everything else in the What's New block creates a link to the actual items.
I think stories should too.

 

Does anyone have an issue if I update it to work this way?

 

Thanks

 

Tom
