2 column problem

I have 2 columns on the frontpage of my website. There is one section called articles and two categories calles box1 and box2. Now I want to write articles and place them into section articles, category box1 or box2.

@<div class=“span-7 colborder”> <h6>Box1</h6> <txp:article form=“box1” pgonly=“0” /> </div>

<div class=“span-8 colborder”> <h6>Box2</h6> <txp:article form=“box2” pgonly=“0” />@

When I want to read the full article ie. the article in box1 I’m facing a problem…. box1 is now showing the full article but box2 is becoming empty. I think this is because you’re directed to a new url. Is there a way to update only the column with box1 inside and leaving box2 as it is?

Re: 2 column problem

txp:article_custom
txp:article

As article_custom isn’t context sensitive, we got:

<div class="span-7 colborder">
	<h6>Box1</h6>
	<txp:article form="box1" />
</div>
<div class="span-8 colborder">
	<h6>Box2</h6>
	<txp:article_custom section="articles" form="box2" />
</div>

Re: 2 column problem

If your full article uses another form you’d need a conditional as well:

<div class="span-7 colborder">
   <h6>Box1</h6>
   <txp:if_individual_article>
      <txp:article form="your_single_article_form" />
   <txp:else />
      <txp:article_custom section="articles" category="box1" form="box1" />
   <txp:if_individual_article>
</div>
<div class="span-8 colborder">
   <h6>Box2</h6>
   <txp:article_custom section="articles" category="box2" form="box2" />
</div>

Do you only want this behaviour for box1 or also the other way around?

Re: 2 column problem

I think I’m getting somewhere now. It’s still a bit of playing with sections and categories. Thank you for so far…..
