Now I'm on the main-column microcontent bandwagon. I'm sure you can adapt this technique to PHP, but... well.
<MTPerlScript>
my @entries;
<MTEntries lastn="5">
push @entries, ['<MTEntryDate format="%Y%m%d%H%M%S">', 'main', <<'ENDOFENTRY'];
<MTInclude module="Entry" smarty_pants="1">
ENDOFENTRY
</MTEntries>
<MTOtherBlog blog_name="markpasc.org quick links"><MTEntries lastn="10">
push @entries, ['<MTEntryDate format="%Y%m%d%H%M%S">', 'quick', <<'ENDOFENTRY'];
<MTInclude module="Entry" smarty_pants="1">
ENDOFENTRY
</MTEntries></MTOtherBlog>
# Sort by date.
@entries = sort { $b->[0] <=> $a->[0] } @entries;
my $printingLinks = 0; # 1 if the <ul> is open
sub printEntry {
# We wouldn't normally need the indirection; maybe
# that's something weird with MTPerlScript?
my ($e, $printingLinks) = @_;
if($e->[1] eq 'quick' && !$$printingLinks) {
$$printingLinks = 1;
print qq(<ul class="quick">\n);
} elsif($e->[1] ne 'quick' && $$printingLinks) {
$$printingLinks = 0;
print '</ul>';
}
print $e->[2];
}
printEntry($_, \$printingLinks) for @entries;
# Close the list if it's still open.
print '</ul>' if $printingLinks;
</MTPerlScript>
Note MTOtherBlog will grab the quick links weblog's Entry template module for those entries. As it's the body of the <ul/>, that Entry module is an <li/>.
