General guidance on static site structure

dimfish · 2006-07-16 08:46:24

Ah. I do use an overide form on that and some other articles simply to get around the problem that some of my articles have the same title as the category (I’m sure that’s dodgy practice!) and it means I can display or not display the title, but still use just the one page.

So whereas usually my page is using
<code>
<div id=“content”>

<txp:if_category>

<!— we’re looking at a category list —> <txp:article form=“artorlist” />

<txp:else />

<!— we’re looking at the section list —> <txp:article limit=“1” form=“sectionpage” />

</txp:if_category>

</div>
</code>

…I sometimes overide it using <code>artorlist2</code> which just doesn’t display article title (since the cat name is already displayed and they are the same).

Okay, change this:

<txp:article limit="1" form="set_category" />

to this:

<txp:article limit="1" form="set_category" allowoverride="0" />

:)

Hey Mary,
Well, it’s showing the correct active class when you first land on a section page, hurrah! …. but the way the articles are displayed is messed with now. It seems to be showing a list of all articles (title+excerpt) when you land on a section page, rather than displaying the most recent article alone….

Mary · 2006-07-16 22:40:18

Ah yes. Okay…

<div id="sidebar-1">
<txp:article limit="1" form="set_category" allowoverride="0" />
<txp:output_form form="subnavmenu2" />
<txp:output_form form="reset_category" />
</div>

set_category

<txp:php>

global $c, $this_article; 

$old_cat = $c;

$c = $thisarticle['category1'];

</txp:php>

reset_category

<txp:php>

global $c, $old_cat; 

$c = $old_cat;

</txp:php>

How’s that?

Oooo sounded nice Mary, but sadly doesn’t quite do it.

I really appreciate your help Mary…

Mary · 2006-07-17 00:45:08

Whoops, sorry, forgot that allowoverride attribute. Try again?

dimfish · 2006-07-17 08:01:16

You’re a sure-fire genius Mary. Works just as I wanted. Thanks a billion.

Ah…oh….except that it seems the categories that are more than one article ie list of articles (title/excerpt) are not showing now (see the What are we doing? category), just the first article is showing…..hmmm….

You’ve lost me a bit now Mary so if you can see why…well, genius status will be upgraded.

According to the output (view source):

<!-- we've got an article which is both the first and last article, -->
<!-- which means there's only one -->

there’s only that one article in that category and section. If there should be more than that, then check and make sure that the other articles match the correct category and section, and that they have the “live” status. If they do, put debugging back on and let’s see what’s happening. :)

Hi Mary. I’m back again.

Is debugging <code><!— etc —></code>? If so I think I have put it back on. In Madagascar section, the categories What are we doing? and Why are we here? have more than one article (have checked them, posted and tagged correctly) so shd appear as a title+excerpt linked list.

Here’s how form artorlist looks:

<code>

<txp:if_first_article>

<txp:if_last_article>

<!— we’ve got an article which is both the first and last article, —> <!— which means there’s only one —>

<txp:body />

<txp:else />

<!— there’s a list, and this is the first one, —> <!— so include the category title —>

</txp:if_last_article>

<txp:else />

<!— there’s a list, and this isn’t the first article —>

<txp:excerpt />

</txp:if_first_article>

</code>

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Is debugging ?

Admin prefs, production status, “debugging”. It’d start something like:

<!-- Runtime:    0.0425 -->
<!-- Query time: 0.005178 -->
<!-- Queries: 14 -->
<!-- Memory: 2244Kb, <txp:permlink /> -->
<!-- txp tag trace:

Post a tag trace, please.
