Showing subcategories recent posts under categories on home page

[Ribesg]

Hi

On my home page, I would like to not only show recent posts strictly in the category, but recent posts of the category + its subcategories. I think it's not possible with the json currently returned by the API for /.
So how can I achieve that? I would need to get the most recent posts of the sum of all posts under this category's tree.

Thanks

Nobody knows?

Recent posts from child categories are returned but not with the parent's posts. For example here is the output of the api with a child category and a post inside it.

{
            ...
            "children": [
                {
                     ...
                    "posts": [
                        {
                            "pid": "13316",
                            "tid": "1902",
                            "content": "<p>child category post</p>\n",
                            "uid": "1",
                            "timestamp": "1417109315798",
                            "deleted": "0",

                            },
                            "topic": {
                              
                            },
                            "category": {
                              
                            },
                            "relativeTime": "2014-11-27T17:28:35.798Z"
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ],
            "parent": null,
            "posts": [
                {

                }
            ]
        },

@baris Thanks, but there's no way to just get all the most recent posts in a category, including all subcategories posts? The templating engine doesn't seem to allow anything too complicated (nor anything complicated at all in fact), so I don't think I can like aggregate the different arrays and sort them...

Maybe it's something that you should be able to configure? Subcategories is a quite recent addition so it's normal that no such thing has been implemented / thinked about yet, but maybe it's something you might want to have.

I really want all my posts on my main page (WIP theme http://nodebb-test.ribesg.fr/)
