Cycle through sections
The idea is quite simple – make some cycle for passing through sections with ability to substitute the current section name. I think example can make clear my request :)
Example:
<txp:cycle type="section">
<article_custom section="<txp:cycle current_section_name="1" />" />
<txp:cycle />So it look like php’s foreach ($section as $current_section_name) where $section is an array of site’s sections. I guess this feature can be useful for menu building, because we don’t need manually list all our sections.

Re: Cycle through sections
It’s still unclear what you request, to me anyway. So, you mean that it outputs all sections but throws content only from the current section? Or it just outputs the section list where is content? Er, you can do it with multiple ways…
- if_different + acticle_custom
- section_list
And so-on… I can write an example if you want.

Re: Cycle through sections
Hm.. Imagine you have 3 sections – about, family, people. We want to build menu like:
- About (section name)
- 1st Article from
Aboutsection - 2nd Article from
Aboutsection - … another articles
- 1st Article from
- family (section name)
- 1st Article from
familysection - 2nd Article from
familysection - … another articles
- 1st Article from
- people (section name)
- 1st Article from
peoplesection - 2nd Article from
peoplesection - … another articles
- 1st Article from
So, if we use <txp:cycle /> we can run through sections and output some section sensitive information withing current cycle iteration.

Re: Cycle through sections
As I said, there is million ways. There is one, that is the most easiest.
<txp:article_custom sort="section ASC" form="tree" />And in tree:
<txp:if_different><h2><txp:section title="1" /></h2></txp:if_different>
<txp:title />As Textpattern should be flexible, not heavy and pre-made.
Cheers!
