How do I show last three blog posts on blog named fruit tagged with apple?

Let's say my nation has two blogs - a fruit blog and a technology blog.

On the front page of the nation I want to show the last three posts from the fruit blog tagged with "apple." But I don't want posts from the tech blog that are tagged with "apple" showing there, let alone an event page or a petition page tagged "apple."

I can probably show the last three posts from a given blog, and I can probably show the last three things tagged "apple," and how do I should the last three posts that have both those qualifications.

Are there liquid markup filters or tags that faciliatate displays like this?

In this example, create more specific tags like:

apple-blog
apple-site
apple-event

You can create as many tags as you need, but it’s a good idea to have an internal tag strategy so that everyone in your organization can contribute consistently.

struggling with this as well, if anyone can post any documentation to filter blog posts from both a particular blog and with a particular tag. Marjorie, can you post how you were able to filter based on blog slug?

This is a common pattern, and really important (In my case, having a general blog with a variety of tags, where I can show filtered views (of posts containing only a subset of tags) on more specific blog pages.

Marjorie is filtering on slug. Jerimee, if that “tag” tag worked for you, then that’s the ideal solution!

I’m curious: What was your “heinous” solution?

The logic was the piece I was having a hard time with. The solution I came up with was pretty heinous.

Here’s what I did on my (actual fruit tree!) website. Put
{% subpage “blog” with “blog_latest” %} in the home page template.

Then, put all your logic (in your case: most recent, only apple) in a new _blog_latest.html file. It’ll pull only those posts from the blog whose slug is “blog.”

There totally is the “tag” tag {% tag “apple” %}. I don’t know what it does by default (probably nothing), but the theme documentation shows how to use it with a custom theme file.

{% tag “apple” with “my_apple_posts” %}

So then the only thing to do is ensure that I’m only displaying posts from a given blog that are tagged “apple.” The tag object doc – http://nationbuilder.com/page_tag_variables – only has most recent and most recently updated options.

Can most_recent_blog_post_pages also be made available? What about most_recent_blog_post_pages with parent x?
