D'oh, I am lost... create links to all articles in section
I am trying to reconstruct the following with Textpattern:
http://www.evatec.info/en/products.html
How exactly would I go about doing that? Right now I have this (not all products are there yet):
http://test.evatec.info/products
That sort of works, except:
- I need one article to be displayed on /products only. If you were to click a link in the submenu on the right, the linked article should appear instead.
- The menu on the right changes when you are viewing on of the articles. I want that menu to always remain the same (linking to all articles).
If anyone could give some advice as to how to accomplish this, I’d be very grateful…

Which TXP tag are you using to build your menu options?

Re: D'oh, I am lost... create links to all articles in section
I’m guessing you have all the product articles in the same section, you can do both using txp:article.
Use txp:article with limit=“1” for the main article and txp:article with a simpler form and section=“sectionname” listing only txp:title for the menu.
Alternatively use: rdt_article_menu for the menu list.

Re: D'oh, I am lost... create links to all articles in section
The tag I’m using is: <code><txp:article form=“products” /></code>
The ‘products’ form contains the following:
<code><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></code>
That works, but not when you’re viewing one of the articles. Then it only displays a link to the article you’re currently viewing.
@jakob: I’ll give that plugin a shot, thanks :)

Re: D'oh, I am lost... create links to all articles in section
<code><txp:permlink></code> will only return the current article in single article mode, if all your articles are in the same section try <code><txp:recent_articles /></code>, you can set limits, categories and a variety of other options with it.

Try to use
<txp:article_custom form="products" section="products"/>
for the menu.

Thanks everyone, especially khellstr. Your solution worked like a charm :)
Seems like I’m finally getting the hang of this thing, it’s all pretty nifty!
