    Display blog entries in date order

    Hi Folks,

    I'm using the blog software that comes with the Fanoe theme when installing Umbraco. I've but together a wee bit of XLST to display the entries, however, it's displaying them in an odd order and not by date.

    the site is: http://www.highnet.com/customer-area/customer-area/

        enter @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

    @{
   //Fetch the blogposts from a certain node id
   var blogPosts = Umbraco.Content(1081);

  foreach(var blogPost in blogPosts.Children().Take(3)){

        <div class="date">@blogPost.CreateDate.ToLongDateString()</div>
        <h2><a href="@blogPost.NiceUrl()">@blogPost.Name</a></h2>       
        <!--<p>@Umbraco.Truncate(blogPost.Introduction, 0, true)</p>-->

  }
}

    How do I modify this to sort by date?

    Thanks in advance!

    Darren

    Hi Darren,

    I think that this will do what you are after 

        enter @inherits Umbraco.Web.Macros.PartialViewMacroPage

    @{
   //Fetch the blogposts from a certain node id
   var blogPosts = Umbraco.Content(1081);

  foreach(var blogPost in blogPosts.Children().OrderBy("CreateDate desc").Take(3)){

        <div class="date">@blogPost.CreateDate.ToLongDateString()</div>
        <h2><a href="@blogPost.NiceUrl()">@blogPost.Name</a></h2>       
        <!--<p>@Umbraco.Truncate(blogPost.Introduction, 0, true)</p>-->

  }
}

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    The following should do it:

    foreach(var blogPost in blogPosts.Children().OrderBy("CreateDate").Take(3)){

    Hi Darren.

    Firstly you've put together some Razor not xslt :)

    however, using TypedContent allows you to use linq (better) and so something like the following (untested)...

        @{
   //Fetch the blogposts from a certain node id
   var blogPosts = Umbraco.TypedContent(1081);

  foreach(var blogPost in blogPosts.Children().OrderBy(x=>x.CreateDate).Take(3)){

        <div class="date">@blogPost.CreateDate.ToLongDateString()</div>
        <h2><a href="@blogPost.NiceUrl()">@blogPost.Name</a></h2>       
        <!--<p>@Umbraco.Truncate(blogPost.GetPropertyValue("Introduction"), 0, true)</p>-->

  }
}

    Thanks

    Carl

    I love this forum!

    Thanks for the quick response guys - all these work!

    Good job I'm off to do some Umbraco training - that will teach me the difference between Razor and XLST ha ha!
