Link to Last Webcomic in Collection (Gutenberg) #345

Closed reccanti closed 2 years ago

reccanti commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the great plugin! Apologies if this is answered somewhere in the docs, I've been having trouble finding a solution that works. I'm looking for examples of what I need to do (if there's a way to do this in the Gutenberg editor) or a place to start (if there isn't).

Expected Behavior

I'm looking to create a hardcoded link to the latest webcomic in a collection. The theme I'm uses the Gutenberg editor. I'd expect to be able to insert a shortcode or a widget from the Gutenberg block menu, or to be able to have a link like /mycomic/latest that would link to the latest comic in a collection, but so far I've been unable to come up with a method that works.

Current Behavior

Currently, I'm unable to find any way to get a link to the latest comic in the collection. Most of the documentation in the Wiki either doesn't seem to work the way I'd expect ([last_webcomic_link](https://github.com/mgsisk/webcomic/wiki/last_webcomic_link__ shortcode)) or I can't figure out how to apply it in the Gutenberg editor (last_webcomic_link widget)

Context

I have a landing page that links to several different projects. In one of them (Sketches) I'd like to have a link to the last sketch I uploaded.

Update: I seem to have been able to get it working using the following shortcode block:

_[last_webcomic_link post="86" args="relation='last'"]See Latest[/last_webcomiclink]

Where post="86" refers to the first post in the collection. Seems good for now, but a little hacky. Is there a more intuitive way of doing this? Also, would it be possible to update some of the wiki entries with examples?

Sorry to hijack this but I'm having this same problem and can't find a solution anywhere...

Ever since changing my webcomic's home page to a static page, my 'latest' links completely stopped working... They all direct to the home page, so I guess I did something wrong?

A short code won't work for my menu ( I don't think ) so a url to use would be ideal...! I can't figure it out at all...

Maybe this might help as a work around? Shortcode in menus

Giving it a try now! Thanks!
