No Article tag in default template error

I’ve re-jiggered this code every way I can think of, but TXP is still telling me there’s no <txp:article /> tag when I try and view an individual article. What am I missing?

<section id="content"><!-- #content -->
			<txp:if_section name="default">

					<txp:images category="listings"/>

Re: No Article tag in default template error

You are getting the error because you have an if_individual_article tag inside an if_category tag, and because a category page is always an article list if_individual_article will never return true.
This should work:

<section id="content"><!-- #content -->
	<txp:if_section name="default">
		<!-- front page -->
		<div id="slideshow">
			<txp:images category="listings"/>
		</div>

		<div>
			<h3>Contact Me</h3>
			Phone: 555.555.5555<br>
			Fax:555.555.5556<br>
			Email: email@example.com<br><br>
			555 Somewhere Pl.<br> 
			Waldorf, MD 20602<br>
		</div>
	<txp:else />					
		<txp:if_article_list>
			<txp:if_category>
				<!-- category list page -->
			<txp:else />
				<!-- section/author/search list page -->
				<table id="tlist">
						<thead>
							<tr>
								<th>&nbsp;</th>
								<th>Name</th>
								<th>Location</th>
								<th>Lot Type</th>
								<th>Size</th>
								<th>Price</th>
								<th>More Info</th>
							</tr>
						</thead>
						<tbody>
							<txp:article_custom category='<txp:category />' section="listings" listform="listings"/>
						</tbody>
				</table>
			</txp:if_category>
		<txp:else />
			<!-- individual article page -->
			<txp:article />
		</txp:if_article_list>
	</txp:if_section>
</section><!-- end of #content -->

but I don’t understand where you want this part to be displayed:

<p>Now Featuring <txp:mdn_count section="listings" /> listings across Southern Maryland.</p>

Re: No Article tag in default template error

The line of text you highlighted will serve as the default content for the section when the page is first loaded and a category has not yet been selected. After a category has been selected, the articles in the corresponding category are rendered as a table in the space where that single line used to be.

<p>Now Featuring <txp:mdn_count section="listings" /> listings across Southern Maryland.</p>

I’m thinking what I’ll have to do is make that line of text a sticky article and then use the code you gave me to render the article lists within each category; I can’t figure out a way to do it using if/else that does end in a conflict.

In that case, just switch the content:

Re: No Article tag in default template error

It still gives me a “page template does not contain…” error when I enter a category.

Edit: With the following script I was able to get rid of the error message, but when I enter an individual article’s page the article itself still doesn’t show, even though the debug information shows that TXP is correctly recognizing that the page should be outputting <txp:article/>

<txp:variable name="landing"><txp:article status="sticky"/></txp:variable>
							<txp:if_variable name="landing" value="">
										<txp:if_article_list>
											<txp:if_category>
												<table id="tlist">
													<thead>
														<tr>
															<th>&nbsp;</th>
															<th>Name</th>
															<th>Location</th>
															<th>Lot Type</th>
															<th>Size</th>
															<th>Price</th>
															<th>More Info</th>
														</tr>
													</thead>
													<tbody>
														<txp:article_custom category='<txp:category />' section="listings" listform="listings"/>
													</tbody>
												</table>
											</txp:if_category>
										<txp:else />
											<txp:article />
									</txp:if_article_list>
							<txp:else />
								<txp:article status="sticky"/>
						</txp:if_variable>

Can you post a tag trace of that page please?

Yes, of course. There is no article tag, only an article_custom tag. Either you can replace it with an article tag, or add <txp:article limit="1" pgonly="1" /> just after the opening <txp:if_category> tag.

Edit: With the following script I was able to get rid of the error message, but when I enter an individual article’s page the article itself still doesn’t show, even though the debug information shows that TXP is correctly recognizing that the page should be outputting <txp:article/>

Your closing </txp:if_category> tag is in the wrong place. But first you can give my code here another try with the abovementioned addition.

Re: No Article tag in default template error

Yes, of course. There is no article tag, only an article_custom tag. Either you can replace it with an article tag, or add <txp:article limit=“1” pgonly=“1” /> just after the opening <txp:if_category> tag.

I tried your original code with a <txp:article /> tag after <txp:if_category> with the same result: while I didn’t get an error message, the article body didn’t show.

To give you some context, here’s what I’m trying to accomplish: When a visitor opens the “landing” section, they see a main content area containing a paragraph saying something along the lines of “x number of listings in the southern maryland area.” To the left, in a sidebar, is a list of categories. When a visitor clicks a category in the sidebar, a list of that category’s articles rendered as a table appears in the content area. When they click on the “more info” button in the rendered table, they’re taken to an individual article page for the corresponding article.

I swear, this is the most trouble I’ve ever had getting an article to render. I know the logic is flawed somewhere, but I’m having the darndest time figuring it out.

Re: No Article tag in default template error

Going back to your original code here, looking at the tag trace there doesn’t seem to be a problem with the conditionals. Like you said, this part

		<txp:if_article_list>
			[<txp:if_article_list>: false]
			<txp:article />
		</txp:if_article_list>

shows that the individual article context is detected. If no article is displayed, the only reason I can think of is that there is no (live) article in the current section. Is that possible?
What happens if you change <txp:article /> to <txp:article>Yes, an article!</txp:article>?

Re: No Article tag in default template error

I’ve double-checked all the articles. They’re live, and using <txp:article>Yes, an article!</txp:article> came up blank as well. I’m officially stumped. I may end up having to split the landing page and listing pages into two separate sections to make this work, though I’d hate to do it.

Edit: Fixed it! It turns out that TXP just really, really hated my using <txp:article />. Instead, I took the contents of the article form and plopped it directly onto my page template. Voila! 

<txp:if_article_list>
					<txp:if_category>
						<table id="tlist">
								<thead>
									<tr>
										<th>&nbsp;</th>
										<th>Name</th>
										<th>Location</th>
										<th>Lot Type</th>
										<th>Size</th>
										<th>Price</th>
										<th>More Info</th>
									</tr>
								</thead>
								<tbody>
									<txp:article_custom category='<txp:category />' section="listings" listform="listings"/>
								</tbody>
						</table>
						<txp:else />
						<p>Now Featuring <txp:mdn_count section="listings" /> listings across Southern Maryland.</p>
					</txp:if_category>
					<txp:else />
					<txp:article_image />
<h1><txp:title/></h1>
<h3><txp:custom_field name="location" /></h3>
<txp:body />
<txp:custom_field name="location" /><br>
<txp:custom_field name="lot_type" /><br>
<txp:custom_field name="size" /><br>
<txp:custom_field name="price" /><br>


					<txp:article form="default" />
				</txp:if_article_list>

I still have no idea why it wasn’t accepting my <txp:article>, though.

Neither do I. I read and re-read the tag trace and I still don’t see what could be wrong… Glad you solved it though!
