what's wrong here ?
Hello,
I have two sections : voorpagina who’s used for the frontpage and article.
Now im using this :
<txp:if_section name=“voorpagina”>
<txp:article section=“voorpagina” form=“default” />
<txp:else>
<txp:upm_date_archive mode=“smart” form=“dagboek” />
But now nothing is placed on the frontpage and nothing on the other places.
What’s went wrong here ?

Re: what's wrong here ?
For the frontpage use section name="". Make sure only your section ‘voorpagina’ is set to be displayed on the frontpage (in Presentation > Sections). And close the if_section tag. So:
<txp:if_section name="">
<txp:article form="default" />
<txp:else>
<txp:upm_date_archive mode="smart" form="dagboek" />
</txp:if_section>Offline
Re: what's wrong here ?
and close the <txp:else /> too. Don’t you think, Els? ;)
BTW, roelof, check your code, dude! You will save more time looking at your code one or two times than posting here so often! :D

Looking at your post here I think I gave you the wrong code. If you need to set your other sections to be displayed on the front page as well (to show up in the menu), you can do this:
<txp:if_section name="">
<txp:article_custom section="voorpagina" form="default" />
<txp:else />
<txp:upm_date_archive mode="smart" form="dagboek" />
</txp:if_section>Offline

Sorry but i don’t work.
Now i get the right article on the frontpage but if a choose febrauri 2005 i still get the frontpage article and not the other articles.

Re: what's wrong here ?
You’ll need to direct upm_date_archive (and the menu tag) to its own section which you need to create (say “archive”).
For example, on my mom’s blog, this is the default page and this is the archive page.

Re: what's wrong here ?
hello Mary,
I have done that.
The frontpage article has the section “voorpagina”
The rest has the section “dagboek”.
Both sections are displayed on the frontpage otherwise i don’t get the menu working.

You mean that you won’t ask anything in future? As you’re saying so ;) Matter what, if you have a big problem and you can’t get it fixed, go a head and ask here your pop-quiz. This is a support forum afterall :)

Mom’s blog :-) Lovely idea to build blog for mom – I wish there were more people that do that kind of nice little things. Nice little words especially on the about page.

Re: what's wrong here ?

But im not even closer to eliminate my problem.

P.S. i try to make a difference with categories but it won’t work.
If a do a <txp:category /> it’s stay empty.

Re: what's wrong here ?
I think I can see why it doesn’t work, but can you tell me first if you are using the same page template for the front page and your sections, or do the front page and each section have it’s own page template?
From the plugin help:
upm_date_menu can only be used on the front page by using messy urls. This is due to how Textpattern understands sections and the front page.
It looks like you’ll have to switch to messy.

Re: what's wrong here ?
You’re not understanding what I’m saying. If you want the archive to appear on a different section, such as “voorpagina”, then you need to put the upm_date_archive tag there and make sure upm_date_menu is pointing to that section (right now, it is not). See the plugin doc.
