Here’s a tiny little plugin that I wrote for Typo called “Recently”. All it does is display the most recently published articles in your sidebar. For a good example, go to Becoming a Midwife.

Download the Recently plugin (gzip)

Download the Recently plugin (zip)

Instructions

Download the file and unzip it into ./components/plugins/sidebars of your Typo installation. Then restart your Typo server. Log in to your admin area, go to your Sidebar tab, and you should see “Recently” under the Available Items column. Just drag it over to the Active Sidebar Items column, Publish changes, and you’re good to go.
