Txp acts suddenly strange
Good evening fellow txp adicts,
midnight is near and so I should expect strange things to happen (some say the place where I live is haunted…).
I have just started txp admin and had a look upon what has been working a few days ago.
The how has been pondered upon here lately: <link>http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=15222</link>
This is in my template:
<code>
<ul class=“navlist”>
<txp:article_custom sortby=“Section” sortdir=“asc” form=“Linklist_with_class_prop” />
</ul>
</code>
This is the corresponding form:
<code>
<li class=”<txp:section />”><txp:section title=“1” link=“1” /></li>
</code>
What I should get is a neat list like this:
<code>
<ul class=“navlist”>
<li class=“Section 1”><a href=“Section 1.html/”>Section 1</a></li>
<li class=“Section 2”><a href=“Section 2.html/”>Section 2</a></li>
<li class=“Section 3”><a href=“Section 3.html/”>Section 3</a></li>
</ul>
</code>
But what I get is N-O-T-H-I-N-G.
As far as I can remember, I haven’t changed anything. So what happend?
Perhaps I’m allready a bit tired, but I can’t see a problem with the code…
Anyone out there, who can tell me what could be ging on?
Regards,
pepebe

Try the debug mode, look at what is been parsed and how/where/when.

Re: Txp acts suddenly strange
Debug mode? Great thing!!!
The divine debug showed me, that txp included only those sections in it’s result, that had “live” articles (status=‘4’) included. Someday last week, I had changed the production status of all my dummy articles from “live” to “sticky” (status=‘5’). Failed to notice, that there was a problem. Stupid thing.
What I dont understand, is why <code><txp:section /></code> ignores sections that only have “sticky” articles (a common technique in the creation of static pages).
Anyway,
thanks for your help Jeremie!!!
Regards,
pepebe

Re: Txp acts suddenly strange
pebebe, I wouldnt say that is <txp:section /> the one ignoring sections with sticky articles.
I suggest you to try the following:
<code><ul class=“navlist”>
<txp:article_custom status=“sticky” sortby=“Section” sortdir=“asc” form=“Linklist_with_class_prop” />
</ul></code>
Notices the status="sticky" attribute.
Tell us if that worked.

Re: Txp acts suddenly strange
Thanks maniqui!
I have included “status=‘sticky’” and finally it worked nearly as intended.
Unfortunately in one section I had two articles set to sticky, so one section showed up 2 times. Had to change the form a little bit and it worked.
Thanks to Stuart (aka thebombsite) this was very easy. He recommended lately to use the if_different tag, but I lacked the wisdom to follow his suggestions…
To sum up, here is the latest version of my linklist
The page template:
<code>
<div class=“navcontainer”>
<ul class=“navlist”>
<txp:article_custom status=“sticky” form=“Linklist_with_class_prop” sortby=“Section” sortdir=“asc” />
</ul>
</code>
The form:
“Linklist_with_class_prop”
<code>
<txp:if_different>
<li class=”<txp:section />”><txp:section title=“1” link=“1”/></li>
</txp:if_different>
</code>
