how to direct navigation link to most recent content item of a content type?

Posted by OnthegOinOz on January 16, 2013 at 10:50pm

Hi,

I am wondering how to make one of my main navigation links direct people to the most recent content item of a particular content type?

i.e. We have a content type called 'latest_awards' and a main link called 'awards'. I also have set a Pathauto setting for all 'latest_award' content items to be located at /awards/CONTENT-TITLE

I found this link to create a module but not sure how to make the changes for my content type names? http://eureka.ykyuen.info/2012/05/23/drupal-7-create-a-url-which-display...
Tried to contact but no reply as yet...

Appreciate any tips?....

Simple solution would be create a view page which displays latest award(of content type latest_awards and display only one item and sort the result according to descending order, these all settings you easily find while creating view) then like the page to one of your navigation links
