Hello,

I'm using a snippet to show some news on the right column of the site. It is possible :

1. To limit the number of news displayed.
2. To filter the results by news category.

Using ECF 4.1.2.16751 and Mediachase.eCF.PublicStore.MasterTemplates.Default.Modules.TopNewsModule

Thanks

1. TopNewsModule is used to display specified number of news ordered by publication date. To set the number of news for displaying, use NewsCount property.

2. ClientNews class in ClientLibrary has methods to get news by category.

1. Thank you.
2. I'm sure it has, but where can i find some detailed documentation ? Or a complete API reference ?

Also, can you please detail a little bit the TopNewsModule part ?

An example of using TopNewsModule you can see in \PublicStore\MasterTemplates\Everything\Theme\Category\DefaultTemplate.ascx  file.

Ok, got it.

If you can help me with the other issue, you'll make me a happy man :)

Glad to hear that you received the solution you were looking for. We are looking into your other issue.

Well, i'm on a tight schedule. So it would be best if you can get me an answer in a timely manner.
Thanks again.

We'll do our best - we'll consider this issue closed and look into the other ones.

Maybe you didn't understand me. I really need to know how to do this.
I can't consider this issue closed.

I've checked everywhere on your site and it seems there is no solid documentation (besides the installation procedures) or api reference with examples, howto's or tutorials.

It's not like were talking about a product that costs 200$...

Here is a wiki article that explains a bit how to configure the TopNewsModule - http://docs.mediachase.com/doku.php?id=ecf:41:tutorials:newsmodule

Also, if you go to ecf412.qa.mediachase.com/public, you will see that by using a value of 1 for the NewsCount property, only the most recent news article shows up on the home page.

Hope this helps.

On the link you gave me it says :

"The ClientNews class in the ClientLibrary has methods to gets news by category so that you can have more control in pulling in the news that you want."

But i've downloaded the eCF developer guide (.CHM) and there's no reference of this class.

Where can i find the documentation for this one ? (This was one of the questions in the first place)

I am afraid that we don't have documentation for that class and we don't plan on making that available since it is fairly straightforward.  Since you have full source code, you will quickly see that there are only several methods. Sorry I couldn't provide you with any more information.
