Re: Get number of posts and do a little bit of calculation with it

This should be easier in TXP 4.0.7, due to the fact that attribute values can be parsed there. You’d just need a tag (or PHP code) that can generate the offset and limit values.

Oi, didn’t see wet’s solution. I do think you’d have to change that intval line to:

$quarter = ceil($posts / 4);

and change the limit line to:

'limit' => $quarter,

Better, yes. I’m off-by-one, as always ;-)

Re: Get number of posts and do a little bit of calculation with it

In order to replicate:
the first part queries the db, calculates, produces no visible output and has to be placed … well, anywhere before the second part, which then is used as a replacement for one of the four article_custom instances, and gets fed with the results of the calculations of part 1, right?

And the principle of

echo article_custom (
  array(  etc.

could be applied to any other appropriate txp-tag by replacing article_custom with the tag’s name, I suppose.

Replaying an evergreen. But not for very much longer.

404. But I think you’re appealing to 4.0.7 and the rewritten parser.

Re: Get number of posts and do a little bit of calculation with it

From the linked evergreen:

Tag handler functions are named like their counterpart tags (stripping the txp: prefix).

This covers the last part of my question. But was I right with my other presumptions?
