Introduction¶
What does it do?¶
- This extension, builds a list (menu) of recently updated pages. The criteria to show the list (menu) of pages is the “timestamp” of system log table for entries reflecting changes in the “tt_content” table. Every time you insert or update a content record inside a page record , that page will show in the list (menu) of recently updated pages.- This extension was developed from the original proof of concept extension sm_recentcontent by Steffen Muller < steffen@mail.kommwiss.fu-berlin.de >
- It also works with simple TemplaVoila projects, complex structures and flexible content elements might give some problems.
Screenshots¶
Screenshot1 (Front End final display)This example

}
lib.recentContent < plugin.tx_recentcontent_pi1
