Help With A Dropdown List of DCRs

i69alot

Dear Readers:

I'd like to be able to pick a "recent article" DCR from a dropdown list in my homepage DCR. Once generated, the chosen article will have a link to it from the homepage.

So, how can I generate a dropdown list of existing DCRs to choose from? Thanks for any advice or references.

This is a common request.

The easiest is to write a callout in perl, so that when the list is populated, the perl script runs, collects the list of files, creates the XML required and populates the list.

If you want to do some filtering, then you need to use formapi. However this gets more complex since you need to implement a call server call as well as when you open a saved DCR, you need to make certain the correct data is selected (when you rerun the formapi)
