RE:Displaying a list of latest posts from multiple blogs on a page

Hello,

You can use the following approach:

1) Add a repeater to your page.

2) Set the following properties:
a) Path: /%
b) Document types: CMS.BlogPost
c) Order by expression: BlogPostDate Asc
d) Select top N documents: 3

The above setup displays the 3 most recent blog posts from the whole site. Please be free to tweak the settings according to your needs.

Best regards,
Boris Pocatko

RE:Displaying a list of latest posts from multiple blogs on a page

Hi Boris,

Thanks for the reply!! I was able to get it working.

I have defined a transformation to display the data as per required format.
However, I have an additional requirement. I want to display the Blog Month Name on the page in front of the Blog Post.

I am not able to get the Blog Month Name for the blogpost. I do get the ParentNodeID, however, I did not see any method in Transformation which would give me the Node Name.

Could you please help me with this?
