Re: Side notes in Textpattern?
Hi Martin
Well, at the moment all I did was create an article form called “article_body” that contains just <txp:body />. But as you say, I could use the title for dive site name, body for the description and custom fields for the other attributes – just haven’t got round to that yet.
Having said that, I’m going to need more than 10 custom fields, given that I’m using 7 already. I’m sure I saw a plug-in for that already somewhere…
Of course the nice thing about this approach is that now I can reuse this content elsewhere – e.g. I guess I could type up all my dive log entries, post them as articles to a dive log section, then selectively drop them into longer posts. Of course the probability of that happening is close to zero, given my average posting rate!
Cheers,
Stephen

You could try out the sed_pcf plugin that offers a whole dataset in a single custom field.

Steve – looks very useful. I’ll see how far I can get with it over the next couple of week.

travholt, it looks like ied_doarticle might do what you want—it’s supposed to let you insert one article’s body into another. If you have a CSS class for your sidenotes, you should be able to do something like:
<div class=sidenote><txp:ied_doArticle id="1" /></div>Note that I don’t use this plugin—I have no idea how well it works.
Yay, thanks! Exactly what I wanted! I knew someone must have made something like what I wanted.
I have now made a new hidden section called “sidenotes” where I can put them all (well, there’s just one so far). And I’ve made a snippet in TextExpander so I type “gtdsb” to insert the ied_doArticle code for it. I’m a happy Textpatterner now. :-)
(And sorry for the late reply, I didn’t get notified of new posts in this topic until now.)
