How to display two contents mixed

Kirby 2 Solved ✅

Hey there!
I’ve got two contents in my project, news and events.
This two contents have some similar fields (title, date, description) and others personal.

I would like to display a list of the two contents mixed and sorted by date, like that:

21/10/2016 - event 1
20/10/2016 - event 2
19/10/2016 - news 1
17/10/2016 - event 3
15/10/2016 - news 2
....

How can I do that?

Thanks!

I assume both events and news are children of projects? Then it’s pretty straightforward:

<?php
foreach(page('projects')->children()->visible()->sortBy('date', 'desc') as $project) {
  // do stuff
}
?>

Otherwise, I need some more input how your content is organized.

Actually I omitted an important info :sweat:: “news” and “events” are in the root content folder, so they are not the only children.

Yes, I can move them into a new “editorial” folder and use your solution or is there another one?

Thanks

Yes, there is an alternative, you can merge the two collections:

<?php 
  $news = page('news')->children()->visible();
  $events = page('events')->children()->visible();
  $mixed = new Pages(array($news, $events))->sortBy('date', 'desc');
?>
