multiple categories/sections with [txp:article_custom/]

It would be useful if the article_custom tag’s section and category attributes accepted a comma separated list of sections/categories.

[edit] Oh, I see chh_article_custom does this… still, it’d be nice to incorporate some of this stuff into the core.

seconded – coke’s plugins are great but unfortunately don’t look like they’re being updated to follow Txp development

I second this too. It would be very important to not rely on plugins. Also needed for txp:related_articles tag!

Well we all agree, does someone have the chops to put together a patch and submit it?

Sadly I’m no PHPer.

Re: multiple categories/sections with [txp:article_custom/]

Hmm. Well I have been using chh_article_custom for a while, but tried to whip up a hack to see if I could avoid using the plugin. Try replacing line 600 of publish.php with:

if ($section) {
$sections = explode(',', $section);
for ($i=0; $i < count($sections); $i++) { 
$sections[$i] = "Section = '".doSlash($sections[$i])."'";
}
$section = 'and ('.implode(" OR ", $sections).')';
}
else $section  = '';

Limited testing seems to yield favorable results. I can submit it as a patch, although it could probably be simplified a bit..
