List of latest blog posts on homepage

[Mijo]

I'm new in processwire, I must say it is great. I'm playing a little bit with some template, I have a little problem.

How to display the latest posts on the home page?

single.php contains blog posts

On home page (home.php) I created children page with my blog post (example 1)

My code looks like this:

<?php foreach $pages->('template= home-single, limit=5'); ?>

      <div class='post'>


        <div class='content'>

          <h3>"<a href='{$single->url}'>{$single->title} </a>"</h3>


        </div>


      </div>


   <? endforeach; ?>

Please Help, thank everyone

First of all, welcome to the forums!

Hm, you have more than one problem in this line

<?php foreach $pages->('template= home-single, limit=5'); ?>

Try this instead:

<?php foreach ( $pages->find('template=home-single, limit=5') as $single ); ?>

Is the template name of your single blog posts really "home-single"? If not, you also have to change "home-single" in your pages->find selector to the real name of its template (in @diogos code example).

Ah, - and welcome to the forums @Mijo.

Also, i think your foreach structure might be wrong.

Try this instead:

<?php foreach ( $pages->find('template=home-single, limit=5') as $single ); ?>

A minor correction to the above example: change the ";" at the end to ":"

Thank you all for your help I really appreciate it.

It seems to me that everything is okay, there are no errors except title of blog post, I can not display the title blog post on the home page:

Here is my code: 

<?php foreach ( $pages->find('template=single, limit=5') as $single ):?>


<div class='post'>


        <div class='content'>


          <a href='{$single->url}'><h3>{$single->title}</h3> </a>


        </div>


      </div>


   <? endforeach; ?>

Please wrap code in code blocks. See the <> icon just below the smiley

Oh, of course. When using this kind of foreach structure you have to reopen PHP to echo your object properties. You can open it with <?php or echo them with the shorter version <?=

<?php foreach ( $pages->find('template=single, limit=5') as $single ):?> 
   
    <div class='post'>
      
        <div class='content'>
            
            <a href='<?=$single->url?>'><h3><?=$single->title?></h3> </a>
         
        </div>
        
    </div>
     
<? endforeach; ?>

You can also use the most common PHP structure, where you don't go in and out of php. Your choice.

Anyway, I think you would benefit a lot from studying the basics of PHP while using ProcessWire.It's not hard at all and will making everything more clear for you.

Than you, it works  Certainly I will dive in into php and Processwire. Thank you all for help
