txp:article_custom for 2 sections?

Hello!

I’m building a site at the moment, and I’m using TXP to power it. It’s a website for an artist agency which promotes DJ’s & MC’s.

I’ve got 2 sections, one for Dj’s & one for MC’s. (dj and mc

On the front page, i’ve got a section to advertise the latest artist (either DJ or MC) added to the roster. Now i assumed i could use the following to display it: <txp:article_custom section="dj,mc" form="headline" limit="1" />

But that doesn’t appear to work. I get nothing… Can i use the section="" to call multiple sections? If not, how do i go about it?

No, it doesn’t allow to call multiple sections as you see. There is couple of ways to do what you want. First one without any plugins.

The article_custom on the frontpage:

<txp:article_custom form="headline" limit="1" />

And surround in article-form, headline, content with:

<txp:if_article_section name="dj,mc"></txp:if_article_section>

Cheers!

Use this: <txp:if_article_section name="dj,mc"></txp:if_article_section> in your article form (just wrap it around it’s entire content).

BTW, you only need this as a temporary solution :)
