I fear i've over-promised on this - seemed like a good idea when I was designing, but now I'm building, it's beaten me. Let me try to explain…
I have two RSS Data sources which have a bunch of shadow assets.
I have one Asset Listing which I am using to combine the two groups of shadow assets into one unordered list
all works fine up to here but!..
[list=1]
I need to be able to identify which node each list item came from (eg: I want to say, "From the blog" or "From twitter" under each entry), but I can't find any keyword that will give me this. I can't apply metadata to the assets and many of the standard keywords don't work on these assets
[*]I want to be able to sort them by date. At the moment i can only get one list to display above the other, when I try to use any of the standard date sorting methods my asset listing returns a blank page.
Any guidance gratefully accepted :-)
[edit] Should have mentioned, we're still languishing on 3.20.6 !
Found the 'Record Name' of the Data Source allowed me to give all the shadow assets a name that I could then use as a class in the item format, but begs the question - how could I access all the other attributes of an RSS Channel? esp: <title> and <description>
Been trying to use the 'Date Field' of the Data source to enable the sort by date options, but fruitless so far.
[edit] I specify which field from the RSS to use as the 'Date field' so that I should be able to access it using %ds__timestamp%, but it doesn't return a value.
(one feed uses _pubdate, while the other users _updated, so it would be good to blend them into one keyword in the format)
It would be really nice if I could use %ds__timestamp_readable% or something like that
Keyword modifiers don't seem to function in our old 3.20.6 either! dead ends everywhere!
