Help me understand the default template functioning
hi !
i am a textpattern beginner :), i read the documentation but i don’t precisely understand how the default template works ( the one installed together with textpattern ) :
there is an “article” section, with one article in it ( First post : lorem ipsum dolor … ), if i understood, this section homepage ( example.com/article and all its articles example.com/article/First Post ) share the same template ( the “default” under the pages tab in the admin )
in this default page, there is this tag :
<txp:article limit=“5” />
When i visit the “example.com/article” url, 5 articles are displayed
but when i click on one of the links on that page, ( i’m then in the example.com/article/1/First Post ), the <txp:article limit=“5”> only list the “First Post” article
how does that tag know it isn’t on a section root page, and that it only has, through the <txp:article limit=“5”> to display one article ???
thanks

Re: Help me understand the default template functioning
Look at the Textbook you find the tag list here
then check txp:article to see how it work
Basically txp:artcile is context sensitive, when you point example.com/article it guves you a list of articles in section article (the 5 because you make “limit=“5”), but when you click on one of them (example.com/article/1/First Post) it sows you an individual article using page “article”.
At the beginning understunding txp is not easy but when it become all things become clear!

Two long-ish articles by Destry may help you get your head round txp’s page make-up:
