Re: [howto] Display articles grouped by categories (aka rss_suparchive_bycat)
Hi, I am new to, and have never actually tried using Textpattern. But I am considering moving from WordPress. Please excuse me if my question is lame or has already been answered. I just want to get this explained before I try Textpattern.
Would this allow me to create an index page (“front page”) that could display the three latest articles from all categories? -and does Textpattern support costume excepts for this and for RSS (like WorePress’ <!--more-> function)?
Update I realise this is an old thread, and I figured it was better to open a new, more spesific thread.

Re: [howto] Display articles grouped by categories (aka rss_suparchive_bycat)
Guys,
Pardon me if I sound ‘lost’, I believe I can get some help here. I’d like to achieve the following, limiting the articles to 5 articles per category:
<code>
<!— Start .featured_posts —>
<div class=“clearfloat”>
<h3 class=“cat_title”><a href=”#” title=“View all posts in Category” >Category Name</a> » </h3>
<div class=“title”><a href=”#” rel=“bookmark”>Article Title Here</a></div>
<div class=“meta”>[31 Dec 2008 | <a href=”#” title=“Comment on Article”>15 Comments</a> | 3,115 views]</div>
<div class=“brief”>
<a href=”#” rel=“bookmark” title=“Permanent Link to Article”> <img src=“images/front/images.jpg”
alt=“Image Alt Text” class=“left” width=“150px” height=“150px” /></a>
<p>Nulla faucibus erat non pede. Pellentesque imperdiet, diam ut elementum aliquet, mi felis placerat risus, at iaculis nisl enim nec purus. Donec dictum pede at risus. <br /> Vivamus pretium molestie lorem. Aliquam erat volutpat. Phasellus eleifend, turpis a laoreet pretium, orci urna porta turpis, id sagittis est urna gravida eros. Donec gravida. Nam vehicula vestibulum mauris. Nullam rutrum adipiscing ligula. Mauris ut leo at nisi feugiat ultrices.</p> </div>
</div>
</code>

Re: [howto] Display articles grouped by categories (aka rss_suparchive_bycat)
I’m trying to separate my Articles on my Home page by Sections or Categories. What I’ve tried so far isn’t working. Basically, I have 2 separate columns on my Home Page. One is for General Articles, and the other for Upcoming Events. These columns will list only the most recent 3 of each.
The Article tag I’ve been using puts both Categories (i.e.: General Articles, Upcoming Events) together.
Here is an example of my Event tag:
<txp:article form=“event-form” limit=“5” form=“excerptsform” />
Here is an example of my event-form:
<txp:if_individual_article>
<h2 class=“entry-title”><a href=”<txp:permlink />”><txp:title /></a></h2>
<txp:else />
<h2 class=“entry-title”><a href=”<txp:permlink />”><txp:title /></a></h2>
</txp:if_individual_article>
<p class=“published”><txp:posted /></p>
<div class=“entry-content”>
<txp:body />
</div>
<address class=“vcard author”>— <span class=“fn”><txp:author /></span></address>
<p class=“tags”><txp:category1 section=“events” title=“1” link=“1” />, <txp:category2 section=“events” title=“1” link=“1” /></p>
<txp:comments_invite wraptag=“p” />
<div class=“divider”><txp:image id=“1” /></div>
<txp:if_last_article><ul class=“directory”>
<txp:older><p>View Older Articles</p></txp:older></txp:if_last_article>
ANY GUIDANCE would be much appreciated. Thanks!
