How to link articles on a one way relationship?
I need a way to link a related article to a article on a one way relationship.
I would like to set a custom field to and assign related articles. For now I was working with the thm_if_article plugin in a page template but this is impractical for more than a few of these conditionals.
Obviously I cannot call a article within a article form.
How can this be set in a article custom field?
page template:
<code>
<!— 2 combo (homes & museum) —>
<txp:thm_if_article article=“265”>
<txp:article_custom id=“159” form=“article_full” />
<txp:article_custom id=“237” form=“article_full” />
</txp:thm_if_article>
</code>

Did you have a look at chh_keywords?

Re: How to link articles on a one way relationship?
Thanks, Els
Yes I did. I’m also using chh_related _articles in other areas. Both plugins build relationships that work both directions, which is intended.
Lets say if article 10 is displayed I also want to display article 15 as a combo. But when viewing article 15, 10 should not be displayed. So I want to link an article directly to an article.
I could use categories, but I already have a lot and it doesn’t make sense to create a category just to connect 2 articles…
for example:
http://www.parkerranch.com/Activities-Public/237/visit-historic-puuopelu
when article 237 is called I also pull in article 216:
http://www.parkerranch.com/Activities-Public/216/puuopelu-gardens
since they are offred as a combo, but also seperate.
I’m using this plugin for this in a page template
<code>
<!— link garden & homes articles —>
<txp:thm_if_article article=“237”>
<txp:article_custom id=“216” form=“article_full” />
</txp:thm_if_article>
</code>
Going from here I thought it would be nice if could have a custom field in an article to do this.
