[Rumpus-talk] Show "recently added files" on front page

[John O'Fallon]

What you would need is an HTML snippet that would include the file  
list, and have that inserted into the welcome box.  I'll call this  
"recentfiles.html", and will assume it's stored in the WFM templates  
folder for each access and delivery by Rumpus.

First, you'll need a script that maintains the recentfiles snippet.  I  
think an AppleScript would probably be best.  I don't do much  
AppleScript, so I can't help with the script, but what it would do is  
prepend a new file entry to the recentfiles snippet, and remove the  
last one.

You'd then need to use an embed tag, or more likely a short  
javascript, to load the recentfiles snippet and insert it into a  
specified place in the welcome window.

I hope that helps!
