Article tag not working, forced to use article_custom

goldenmeanie · 2011-10-11 13:44:41

I have this code on a page used by a section.

<txp:if_individual_article>
  <txp:article />
<txp:else />
  <txp:article limit="5" />
</txp:if_individual_article>

I think it should show the last five articles (blog style) when I load site.com/section/ and then just the relevant article when I load site.com/section/article-title. But I can only get site.com/section to work using article_custom and specifying which section. But then I don’t get paging. Have I misunderstood how this is supposed to work?

I’ve just upgraded an old site from 4.0.4 to 4.4.1. Lot’s of stuff was broken, but I’ve got everything but this one issue locked down now.

Thank you for any help you can offer!

Have you tried pulling out the else clause and putting that article tag inside if_article_list?

colak · 2011-10-11 16:50:37

also what do you have in your default form?

Bloke · 2011-10-11 18:47:44

Your logic seems sound to me. Although it shouldn’t make any difference in this case, one thing I would add is that the <txp:article /> tag is context sensitive such that you shouldn’t need the conditional. You can get away with just:

<txp:article limit="5" />

With just that tag, on article list pages you’ll get 5 articles passed through your default Form; on individual article pages you’ll get a single article passed through the default Form. If you want to change which Forms are used you can use the form (for individual articles) and listform (for landing pages) attributes to specify how to display each type. If you omit listform, then form will be used for both, and if you omit them all then the default Form is used.

In this case though I can’t think why they wouldn’t show up. As long as you have:

articles assigned to the current /section
they are Published in the past
they are set to Live status (not Sticky or anything else)
(if being viewed on the front page) have On Front Page set to ‘yes’ in the Presentation->Sections tab

then the articles will appear. Very odd that they’re not.

And of course you can always post a tag trace :)

Thanks folks, you’ve given me a few more things to try. This is a nighttime project for me so I won’t be able to give them a go until this evening. I very much appreciate your responses!

I just tried this to no avail. Thanks for the suggestion though!

This was my assumption too, and it’s where I started. Unfortunately I can’t get anything to render anywhere but the front page without resorting to the conditionals and article_custom.

they are Published in the past

they are set to Live status (not Sticky or anything else)

I double-checked and my articles fit all these criteria. Set to current section, published in the past, live, not front page but I’m not looking there either.

euh no, the default form is found in form tab and it s named “default” and it s not containing txp:article tag! but it s something like this :

<txp:if_individual_article>
<h1 class="entry-title"><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h1>
<txp:else />
<h3 class="entry-title"><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3>
</txp:if_individual_article>

<p class="published"><txp:posted /></p>

<div class="entry-content">
<txp:body />
</div>

<address class="vcard author">— <span class="fn"><txp:author /></span></address>

<p class="tags"><txp:category1 title="1" link="1" />, <txp:category2 title="1" link="1" /></p>

<txp:comments_invite wraptag="p" />

<div class="divider"><txp:image id="1" /></div>

and like bloke advise you remove the txp:if_individual_article test, you put only <txp:article limit=“5” /> and it should work.

Cheers

I don’t get this:

and (`Title` like '%/testwod%' or `Body` like '%/testwod%')

and this:

match (`Title`, `Body`) against ('/testwod')

Could there be something in article form ‘default’ that causes this? Looking at the query I’m not surprised that you don’t get any articles.
