I installed easy template on my Plone site, however I am unable to display the results I want.  I tried using the query that is listed on the product page:

{{ query({"portal_type":"News Item","sort_on":"Date","sort_order":"reverse","sort_limit":3,"review_state":"published"}) }}

but the only results I get are:

[<Products.ZCatalog.Catalog.mybrains object at 0x8329330>, <Products.ZCatalog.Catalog.mybrains object at 0x865d4e0>, <Products.ZCatalog.Catalog.mybrains object at 0x865dba0>]

I was told that I have to use a Jinja template to convert the catalog brains to HTML objects, however I can not find the documentation to do so.  I am trying to use the query above to list the 3 most recent news stories on my page.  

Can anyone shed some light on this situation for me?  Thank you.

[<Products.ZCatalog.Catalog.
mybrains object at 0x8329330>,
<Products.ZCatalog.Catalog.mybrains object at 0x865d4e0>,
<Products.ZCatalog.Catalog.mybrains object at 0x865dba0>]
Is just a list of brains.

So you'll have to figure out what the jinja way of doing a for loop in a template is and mix markup with it.  Then you access object information from it's brain.  For instance, these are some common things you might want,

brain.getURL
brain.Title
brain.Description

Good luck,
Nathan

I have everything working exactly the way I want now except for one thing.  Can anyone help with the property that will allow me to limit the query to a specific folder.  On the following statement i tried to add "path" : "/folder" among others but can not find the property to get it to search only a particular folder for News Items.  

{{ query({"portal_type":"News Item","sort_on":"Date","sort_order":"reverse","sort_limit":3,"review_state":"published"})  }}

Thanks again for the help.
