About Entry

Hi Guys,

I am trying to create a form which outputs meta data for an article when in perma-mode.

The form code I have consists of:

<code><b>About this entry</b><br />
You are currently reading <i><txp:title /></i>, an entry made on <txp:posted /> and filed under <txp:category1 link=“y” />.</code>

On the main page code I have:

<code><txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:output_form form=“AboutEntry” />
</txp:if_individual_article></code>

The output rendered is:

About this entry
You are currently reading , an entry made on 12/03/2006 and filed under .

Any ideas what may be causing this problem? Thanks

You will need txp:article, not txp:output_form.

Re: About Entry

That seemed to work until I tried to submit a test comment: http://www.thekhans.me.uk/journal/

Now the comment form and preview are duplicated on the right, and I assume it’s got to do with the output type being a form. Any ideas? Some areas of text are also being duplicated when clicking on preview.

Thanks,

Saj

Re: About Entry

You need to turn comment auto-append off (admin prefs). Then you need to manually add the contents of the “comments_display” form, by either calling it with another article tag, or adding it’s contents to your article form.
