[Core 4.4.1] List - and navigate - through category only
Evenin’ TXP gurus :¬)
Is there a way – preferably using core code – to list articles from a specific category, and limit the next/prev links to that category?
Here’s the context, I’ve been adding all wedding blog posts under the weddings section (obviously!), and I’m now wanting to add a portfolio section to showcase/promote a handful of weddings.
Rather than create a new section – portfolio – and move those selections (I assume this would change the post’s URL to <site>/portfolio/<title> from <site>/wedding/<title>, and break links and google indexing), it would be much easier to simply assign a category named portfolio, and then filter using that on it’s own page.
Can 4.4.1 do this? :¬)
On a side note, if you change the name of a section, is TXP intelligent enough to keep the old blog post URLs, or will it break?

Don’t think the core can do it, because article_custom can’t navigate next/prev. But these might help, in this order of potential usefulness:
- Roll your own with a few plugins and this tutorial
- smd_horizon
- aks_article (though I don’t know if it offers pagination)

Why is it Stef, that you’ve always made a plugin for something I need? :¬)
Awesomeness!
Edit: I hope you’re on the core team for TXP5.

Hello Ross,
You can do that with the plug-in txp:jk_neighbour. I don’t recall seeing a core code solution but sometimes I have difficulty remembering my own name. I used the plug-in a couple of years ago in conjunction with txp:chh_if_data:
<txp:chh_if_data>
<p>More in the same category <txp:jk_link_to_prev cat="current" sortby="title"> << <txp:prev_title/> </txp:jk_link_to_prev> | <txp:jk_link_to_next cat="current" sortby="title"> <txp:next_title /> >> </txp:jk_link_to_next><p>
<txp:else />
<p>[This is the only <txp:category1 /> currently in the collection.]</p>
</txp:chh_if_data>

Awesome Joe, forgot about that one. I’ll add it to the data bank so it comes at the top of any such lists next time.
