Re: Make recent_articles context aware (exclude self)
Gees, devs, cut it on the rethoric. GTD.
It’s not like TXP is all that perfect either. 4.0.x is in my opinion more something like 0.8 in today’s standards anyway. The way I look at it, you’re already working on v2 while v1 isn’t even ready.

Hi all,

Textpattern 4.0.x, I’d advise to release it as a plugin. For 4.1
“crockery”, we’d gladly accept a patch against taghandlers.php.NB: In crockery, we are aiming at using a “magic” symbol (currently
‘#’, but still subject to change) as a literal identifier for the
“current” thing (section, article, category, whatever), when we need
to pass it as an attribute’s value. A tag usage of
<txp:recent_articles exclude=”#,42,8” /> where ‘exclude’ would carry
a list of article ids would fit into this semantic convention – maybe
you could adopt your code for this?> I’m also improving the ping feature in TextPattern. Will a patch for this

Cheers, Robert

Re: Make recent_articles context aware (exclude self)
I wonder if there’s any real benefit in having a separate recent_articles tag in crockery.
If we add an exclude attribute in the main article/article_custom tag, it can do the exact same thing.
