Article_custom: exclude categories
I feel I’ve asked this before, years ago, but cannot find the source.
Is it possible to use the article_custom category attribute to exclude categories? That is, I’d like all articles that aren’t in a particular category.
Syntax might look something like: <article_custom category=”!cat1” … />

Re: Article_custom: exclude categories
I keep wondering this myself, and keep Googling’ up this thread. So here’s my solution I thought up. In the form, just place the following:
@<txp:if_article_category name=“whatever you want to exclude”><txp:else />*Whatever you want to display*</txp:if_article_category>

Why did you awake this old topic. Anyway, note that your code will filter results after articles have been pull out of the db. Which means that if you have lot of articles, it’s slow as hell. Plus you can’t use limit nor offset, as all the articles must be fetched for the after filter to work. Els’ solution beats every of those drawbacks.

However this solution doesn’t work if i have a category set for the articles i want to exclude and have no category for the rest of the articles.

Re: Article_custom: exclude categories
Why can’t exclude be an attribute in the article_custom tag?

Re: Article_custom: exclude categories
@category_list@ has the exclude attribute. You could insert a category_list tag as the value of/into article_custom’s category attribute.
Edit: completely ignored in which topic I posted :p
