Silke Fox	Friday 16 July 2004 1:23:23 am Hi all, I'm trying to use a fetch_alias with constant sorting by published date (descending). In the examples in fetchalias.ini it looks like this: Constant[sort_by]=published;0 Also tried Constant[sort_by]=published;falsed and sorting by name Constant[sort_by]=name;false None of these works as expected. Has anybody got a working example for this? Thanks, Silke

To get the template compiler to know of this update you need to get the timestamp on the template file updated, for instance using the 'touch' command or restoring it in a text editor. I can also recommend turning off the template compiler when developing on a site, that way all INI settings are read dynamically. The live site should ofcourse have the template compiler on. In the future we will probably make the template compiler script (eztc.php) smarter, for instance it detect that the INI file has changed and update template files accordingly. -- Amos Documentation: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation FAQ: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/faq

Hi all,

I'm trying to use a fetch_alias with constant sorting by published date (descending).
In the examples in fetchalias.ini it looks like this:

Constant[sort_by]=published;0

Also tried

Constant[sort_by]=published;falsed

and sorting by name

Constant[sort_by]=name;false

None of these works as expected.
Has anybody got a working example for this?

Thanks,
Silke
