Showing subcategories recent posts under categories on home page

Moved Technical Support
  • 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",

                        ]
                    }
                ],
                "parent": null,

  • @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/)
