News section in tracwiki something like --> http://trac-hacks.org/

[Dhanesh Mane]

Hey all,
I am new to tracwiki, I am able to understand the wiki macros and some
keywords. I want to have a green box ( which I guess appearing with
help of some macro) like this wiki page http://trac-hacks.org/ on my
web page right side.

You need to add the News Flash macro for that. It is available in the
link you referenced. Then add this to your wiki page:

{{{
#!NewsFlash
Whatever wiki text you want can go here. At least I know links work.
}}}

Note that you don't necessarily need a macro for that, you can also use
a #!div block and pass appropriate styling options...

Starting with 0.12 you can also build tables this way, with #!td and
#!td blocks.
See http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/WikiHtml for more details.

Hey thanks for quick update.

I have installed http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/FullBlogPlugin and created
some posts there.

And now using following code in my wiki page.
{{{
#!div class="important" style="border: 2pt solid; text-align: center;
float:right;"
[[BlogList]]
}}}

This is just displaying blog title linked to its main page with author
name and category.

BUT I WANT TO DISPLAY SOME TEXT FROM THAT POST ALSO. Same like
http://trac-hacks.org.
here is code for trac-hacks right bar.
[[html(<div id="newsflash">)]]
[[BlogShow(blog,news,hidecal=true,num_posts=4)]]
[[BlogPost(tag=(blog,news),readonly=1,link="Post News")]]
[[html(</div>)]]

BUT BlogShow and BlogPost macros dsnt work in FullBlogPlugin as its
part of trackblog( some other plugin).
I cant use that old plugin, but still want same feature with
FullBlogPlugin..

ALSO let me know different ways of using BlogList macro to show some
text from blog.

Trac-Hacks is still running Trac 0.10 - and it is not the same plugin
as it runs an abandoned wiki-based blog and not FullBlogPlugin (which
is 0.11+).

Go to you LOCAL wiki:WikiMacros page to display help documentation for
the macros you have currently installed and enabled, and you should
see that it for instance supports "format=float" argument to float the
list like on trac-hacks.org. All arguments and descriptions are in the
docs.

...and to complete the thread for future searches (and my curiosity), which macro did you use in the end?

I'd be very surprised if this is done without [[BlogList]] macro... I
suspect reading the docs helped, as I did model the
[[BlogList(format=float)]] argument to emulate the "newsflash" idea
still used on trac-hacks.org.
