seperating archive and individual
Is it correct that you cant have different pages for the archive and the individual article?
I love like to have:
mysite.com
- uses the default page
mysite.com/blog/
- uses the archive page
mysite.com/blog/1/firstentry
- uses the individual page
this is the way fx MoveableType works and I think the way textpattern works by combining thex archive and the individual page confuses me?
Have I missed something?
I can of cause use the
<txp:if_individual_article> or the <txp:if_article_list>but I like to have seperate pages

Re: seperating archive and individual
It thinks of sections as “folders” which hold your articles like sheets of paper. Thus, they use the same page template. Yes, that’s how it works, no that can’t be changed (not at present anyway).

I go the opposite way, I use one page for everything, so I don’t use the archive page.
What are the advantages of using default and archive?

Less conditionals, depending upon how you want your site to act.

How do you differentiate between the front page, the archive and the individual page?

Re: seperating archive and individual
Els has a good example at http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=135096#p135096.
It works in the page, not in individual article forms. So: if there’s no section selected (if_section is empty) and no category (if_category is empty) is browsed, then (else) we are at the frontpage.
Article listing (there’s no article id in the url) is catched with <txp:if_article_list></txp:if_article_list>, see textbook. And for individual article (there’s id in the url) there’s that <txp:if_invidual_article></txp:if_invidual_article>, textbook here.
It took for me some time to understand this article listing vs invidual article separation. After that’s clear, it gets a lot easier.

Early on, I did a comparison of the archive and default pages and found them to be almost identical, I think the title was different. In Textbook and a fresh install of what is to be 4.0.5, they are identical.
So for me, it’s easier to change one page for ongoing site maintenance than to change two.
