    I see, I guess it’s because Tyo plugins API has been changed between 4.03 and 4.1.

    I’m sorry, but as I’m going to release the 4.1 version in the next days, I won’t fix this now.

    Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I couldn’t get recentpostssidebar plugin to work until I changed line 9 of lib/recentpostssidebar.rb to:

    @recentposts = Article.findpublished(:all, :order => ‘published_at DESC’, :limit => count)

    It was giving me an error before on “boolean = integer” that the function was invalid when looking for published = 1.
