A simple list of static articles
Hi,
I’m aiming for a list at the bottom of my page like this, inside a <ul></ul> list:
About – Site Map – Content
I don’t really want to set up new sections for each one. I’m sure there’s a number of ways to do this, i was thinking like this:
- Set up a new section called ‘static’
Set permalink link mode to /title [just to make them look like sections in the address bar]- Not sure what now!
Am i on the right track?

Seems that you are on the right track:)

It might be just me, but I never liked that mode as there is the danger of duplicate or even badly named urls. I find /id/title to be the most flexible option.

Re: A simple list of static articles
The lack of a simple “static page” feature in Txp is definitely a bummer; I’ve gotten accustomed to it not being a big deal with WordPress.
ExpressionEngine has a popular add-on module (more info here and here) that provides this feature. Perhaps such a thing could be written for Textpattern.

Sticky articles can easily be used as “static”
I find <txp article_custom category="whatever" status="sticky" /> better than having to worry about individual “static” entries.
