I wanted to create a static link to the latest publication in a specific publication type.
First I created a template call "latest". This is can be the exact same template as "full" or you could make it a little different if it turns your crank.
The new template is to be used as a list so you need to create a header and footer as well. I would have thought but it would have been seen as a single list template without the header and footer, but it only took 3 seconds to create them so I moved on with life. I'm assuming that the "-single" doesn't work because I'm specifying a template.
So the templates created were "name-latest.html", "name-latest-header.html", and "name-latest-footer.html". Where name is the template specified in the Publication Type Configuration.
Then just use the link:
index.php?module=pagesetter&tid=T&tpl=latest&pubcnt=1
Make sure to change "T" to the tid number for the publication.
tpl specifies the template to be used
pubcnt specifies that only one publication is to be shown, since this is a list.
