Is it possible to remove the TKB articles from the 'Recent posts' and 'Recent topics' components?

Hi everyone,   Everything's in the title :smileywink:.   When we publish bunches of TKB articles, user discussions get drowned and recent posts and topics only display TKB articles instead of the...

Hello Adam, Venk,

 

I just noticed that with this solution, the blog article do not show up anymore in the component, which is logical but not the wished behaviour. 

 

What would be the correct syntax to modify the XML and have both forum and blog entries displayed?

 

    <component id="forums.widget.recent-messages" interactionStyle="forum;blog"/>  ?

 

Many thanks again for your help & cheers,
Nicolas

Unfortunately, I don't believe there's a way to specify more than one interaction style in that manner.

 

What you could do instead is construct your own search query to fine tune the messages you're getting, and plug that search query into the "forums.widget.message-list-panel" which will display the messages for you. See here for an example of how this works:

If you wanted topic root messages in forums and blogs, sorted by date descending, your query would look something like:

/search/messages?q=is_root:true&include_forums=true&include_blogs=true&sort_by=-topicPostDate

For example:

http://lithosphere.lithium.com/restapi/vc/search/messages?q=is_root:true&include_forums=true&include_blogs=true&sort_by=-topicPostDate

 

I hope this helps!

    Hi Adam,

     

    Many thanks for your prompt reply and valuable information. 

     

    The links you mention lead to very interesting custom components (e.g. displaying posts without a reply) that can be very valuable to our Community as well.

     

    I'll take a very attentive look to this! :smileyvery-happy:

     

    Cheers,

    Nico
