output txp:body and txp:exceprt to different parts of a page

Is it possible to output the body and the except of an article to two different areas of a page?

would i simply enter :

<txp:article>
<h1><txp:title /></h1>
	<txp:body />
<txp:article  />

in one Div and then in another Div have:

<txp:article>
	<txp:excerpt />
<txp:article  />

or would i have to use some custom id in the two different areas for example.

<txp:article_custom id="1" form="body_output />
and
<txp:article_custom id="1" form="excerpt_output />

or something else ?

Both versions can work. It depends on the context.

Why don’t you simply try it? So you see the result and can give you the answer yourself.

thanks for the nudge! I was pleasantly surprised – t the first option works great. i call it from a form “excerpt_side

bici – Your are using an opening article tag to open your tag set, which is correct if you are using it as a wrap tag, then closing your tag set with a self closing tag rather than a wrap tag closing tag; the results could be unpredictable that way especially if you are using multiple article tags in the same page.

Thanks for the heads up. I am using two article tags on every page. One for Body and Title and the other for the excerpt How should i close the excerpt example or should i have it as unclosed?

I would use article_custom if you are using more than 1 tag per page, depending on how many articles you are returning with the article tag it can get complicated.

Might be a naive observation, but can’t you do this:

<txp:article>
   <div class="blockOne">
      <h1><txp:title /></h1>
      <txp:body />
   </div>
   <div class="blockTwo">
      <txp:excerpt />
   </div>
</txp:article>

It doesn’t matter where the article tag occurs: everything inside it is in “article context” so all Txp tags work. The downside is you have to use the same Form to process both segments, but with some conditional code in your Form you could maybe get round that.

bici, what rsiletti pointed out was the slash at the very end of both your code snippets. So, instead of <txp:article /> you should close your tags properly by using </txp:article> (slash to the front).

Edit: Added link.
