First of all, this plugin looks excellent; it is just what I was looking for to do some upcoming txp projects — thanks Rob.
I have read through the thread but haven’t found or have missed a solution for the following, though it seems to have come up before:
<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list /></code>
in that form doesn’t output articles on the front page, though the tag cloud is working.
If I specify a section:
<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list section=“test” /></code>
It shows the articles from that section on the front page. But if I use section=“article” or section=”*” it shows nothing.
If I go to the URL for the article section it shows the entries there:
www.example.com/article
In other words it isn’t showing the default article section at the top level and I would like to understand why.
- Using rss_unlimited_categories v0.5 and Textpattern · 4.0.3
- I replaced article-col-2 with articleside.
- It is a fresh txp installation in a TLD at textdrive.
- The article section is set to use the front page and uses the default page template.
- The permalink mode is /section/title, though I have tried others.
- I am using categories created after the plugin was installed, the entries were made afterwards as well.
What am I overlooking/doing wrong here?
Thanks…
robert

Okay, so following up:
eco you are supposed to put this tag:<txp: rss_unlimited_categories_article_list />@ somewhere in your page template. Replacing the article tag is wrong.
The tags explanation:
rss_unlimited_categories_article_list – Lists articles by category. This is a replacement for the standard Textpattern article list tags.
…so I guess they should be used together.
The following seems to work the way I expected:
<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list />
<txp:article /></code>
Now looking forward to getting into it.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_unlimited_categories - Unltd. Article Categories
Dear all,
I’d like to show a list of articles using the following tag:
<code><txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list section=”*” form=“myform” /></code>
in my site template is not working. If I replace “*” (to show articles of all sections) with a specific section like “mysection”, it works fine.
Does anybody know this problem? Or am I doing somethin stupid?
Thanks a lot, Alfette

Hi Alfette,
section=”*” doesn’t work in my fresh txp installation either. In fact, for my front page where I want all sections to be visible, I am now only using the txp:article tag. Though I imagine I’ll reach some limitation with that at some point.
For the other sections I am using the rss_unlimited_categories_article_list tag with section=“sectionname”.
And happily many other things are falling into place now.
robert

Hello!
I’m runniung TXP 4.0.3 and want to use the newest rss_unlimited_categories. The thing is that a can’t find “article-col-2” in the source code of my installation – so the categorylist dosn’t appear. What the hell I’m doing wrong? I’ve upgraded from 0.3.
Thanks for helping me :)

You need to upgrade Textpattern to 4.0.4 pre-release, 4.0-20060831.zip.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_unlimited_categories - Unltd. Article Categories
Can someone tell me how I can tell if my categories are actually “taking”? I’m assigning them, but I have a weird feeling that they aren’t actually connecting with the article. For instance, if I have a category called art, how would I display all the titles of all the articles with the category “art”? I’ve read through the 12 pages of stuff, but got myself quite confused.
I’m also using this in conjunction with ied_if_domain which may be messing things up. I don’t know….
(I’m using TXP 4.0.3 and rss_unlimited_categories 0.3 as well as rss_superarchive 0.16.1 if somehow that matters)

Brian,
Did you look through http://www.wilshireone.com/textpattern-plugins/rss-unlimited-categories? The usage is explained pretty clearly.
To see if the categories are attached, use rss_unlimited_categories_filedunder in an article form. To pull a list of articles filed under a specific category, use rss_unlimited_categories_article_list in a page template.
Page:
<h3>Art:</h3>
<ul>
<txp:rss_unlimited_categories_article_list section="mysection" category="art" limit="10" form="cheese" />
<ul>
cheese article form:
<li><txp:permalink><txp:title /></txp:permalink></li>
Good luck.

Thanks for your help. I’m not sure why I was having such a hard time with that concept… I think I’ve got it working now though…

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_unlimited_categories - Unltd. Article Categories
Hi everyone,
after I upgraded to 0.5 from 0.3 the rss_unlimited_categories_related tag does not work. I get the most recent articles instead. My textpattern version is 4.0.3.
I use the tag inside a <txp:if_individual_article> section like this: <txp:rss_unlimited_categories_related form="related_article_links" label="My Label:" limit="10" offset="1" />
Anyone with a similar problem?

Read this post by wilshire.
Hope this helps.
Otherwise, you could post the code used in the form.
