txp:article_custom and pagination

KaiBo · 2009-09-29 15:38:26

I tackle with this behavior as well. Any workarounds mentioned here or found elsewhere sadly will not work for me (displaying specific categories in a different section). Having looked into the Sourcecode this behavior seems to be intended:

//do not paginate if we are on a custom list
if (!$iscustom and !$issticky)

article_custom is internally treated like a single article in more than one place. Hence Pagination seems to have been “disabled”. Anybody knows the deeper reason for this?

It would be nice (for pagination plugins authors) if article_custom minimally supported pgonly attribute, just returning the number of pages, without setting pagination data. Is it feasible?

Hello. I would like to use the “default pagination” from the TXP 4.5.4 theme in my News-page, which shows a list of 5 article excerpts from Articles-section (and there is 8 in total) – but the pagination doesn’t seems to work with the “article_custom” txp-tag, or others than the <txp:if_individual_article> tag!

My code:

<div>
        <txp:article_custom excerpted="1" form="static_headline" section="articles" limit="5" />
</div>
        <p id="paginator">
                 <txp:if_article_custom>
                           <txp:variable name="prev" value='<txp:link_to_prev />' />
          <txp:variable name="next" value='<txp:link_to_next />' />
          <txp:if_variable name="prev" value="">
            <span id="paginator-l" class="button disabled">← <txp:text item="older" /></span>
          <txp:else />
            <a id="paginator-l" href="<txp:link_to_prev />" title="<txp:prev_title />" class="button">← <txp:text item="older" /></a>
          </txp:if_variable>
          <txp:if_variable name="next" value="">
            <span id="paginator-r" class="button disabled"><txp:text item="newer" /> →</span>
          <txp:else />
            <a id="paginator-r" href="<txp:link_to_next />" title="<txp:next_title />" class="button"><txp:text item="newer" /> →</a>
          </txp:if_variable>
         <txp:else />
          <txp:variable name="prev" value='<txp:older />' />
          <txp:variable name="next" value='<txp:newer />' />
          <txp:if_variable name="prev" value="">
            <span id="paginator-l" class="button disabled">← <txp:text item="older" /></span>
          <txp:else />
            <a id="paginator-l" href="<txp:older />" title="<txp:text item='older' />" class="button">← <txp:text item="older" /></a>
          </txp:if_variable>
          <txp:if_variable name="next" value="">
            <span id="paginator-r" class="button disabled"><txp:text item="newer" /> →</span>
          <txp:else />
            <a id="paginator-r" href="<txp:newer />" title="<txp:text item='newer' />" class="button"><txp:text item="newer" /> →</a>
          </txp:if_variable>
    </txp:if_article_custom>

Which txp-tag do i have to use to get the pagination active here??

Best regards,

There’s no such tag as if_article_custom.

madzzoni · 2013-04-14 01:05:30

Aha, – thx mate ;-) – and the <txp:if_individual_article> doesn’t work here … so any other suggestions perhaps?

No, correct, article_custom creates only article lists, even if restricted to output just one article.

If you need an article_custom tag, there are several solutions for a pagination: 3 here, another one here, one more here, and possibly further ones on TXPTips.

Thanks uli, and yes i know about these plugin solutions you mention, – but they aren’t optimal for me, – i only need the previous/next page option, as in the default theme and just hoped for some kind of txp:tag workaround i 4.5.4.
I already tried the etc_pagination-plugin, but it doesn’t work in my page/setup.

We can hope for a native pagination system for if_article_custom pages too in the next TXP release ;-)

If it doesn’t, it will. :) Have you tried this:

<txp:etc_pagination pages='<txp:etc_numpages excerpted="1" section="articles" pageby="5" />'
	range="1" prev="Prev" next="Next" pgcounter="page" wraptag="nav" />

This will give you few page links, where you can hide (with css) everything except a[rel="prev"] and a[rel="next"]:

<style>nav a {display:none} nav a[rel="prev"], nav a [rel="next"] {display:inline}</style>

To output the correct page (given by page url parameter), use

<txp:article_custom excerpted="1" form="static_headline" section="articles" limit="5" offset='<txp:etc_offset pgcounter="page" />' />

Link to prev/next article is another story. You can do it all with etc_query, but this will require some learning.

There is no natural way to paginate <txp:article_custom />’s, because they can be many on the page, and it is not clear which list must be concerned by <txp:older/newer /> tags.

Thanks etc :-) … I’ll try this option.
