Re: Categories: Showing specfic category excerpt list on separate page
You can ignore the message. If you really don’t like it, add <txp:php>global $has_article_tag; $has_article_tag = true;</txp:php> to your page template ;)

Re: Categories: Showing specfic category excerpt list on separate page
Sorry to bother u guys again. I thought i understood everyones comments but alas still needs some guidance…
when i click a category the link take you to category section (hooray).
My problem is that i can’t get it to generate the correct category articles.
The code beneath produces All categories
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article limit="1" form="MTS_single" />
<p><txp:link_to_prev><txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev>
<txp:link_to_next><txp:next_title /></txp:link_to_next></p>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category>
<h3>Articles in category <txp:category title="1" />:</h3>
<txp:article_custom sort="LastMod desc" limit="3" form="MTS_article_default" />
</txp:if_category>
<p><txp:older><txp:text item="older" /></txp:older>
<txp:newer><txp:text item="newer" /></txp:newer></p>
</txp:if_individual_article>But this code underneath only shows the articles for the first category.
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article limit="1" form="MTS_single" />
<p><txp:link_to_prev><txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev>
<txp:link_to_next><txp:next_title /></txp:link_to_next></p>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category name="Acties">
<h3>Articles in category <txp:category title="1" />:</h3>
<txp:article_custom category="Acties" sort="LastMod desc" limit="3" form="MTS_article_default" />
</txp:if_category>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category name="Pleegmoeder-schrijft">
<h3>Articles in category <txp:category title="1" />:</h3>
<txp:article_custom category="Pleegmoeder-schrijft" sort="LastMod desc" limit="3" form="MTS_article_default" />
</txp:if_category>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category name="Van-de-Playground">
<h3>Articles in category <txp:category title="1" />:</h3>
<txp:article_custom category="Van-de-Playground" sort="LastMod desc" limit="3" form="MTS_article_default" />
</txp:if_category>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category name="Van-de-Psycholoog">
<h3>Articles in category <txp:category title="1" />:</h3>
<txp:article_custom category="Van-de-Psycholoog" sort="LastMod desc" limit="3" form="MTS_article_default" />
</txp:if_category>
<p><txp:older><txp:text item="older" /></txp:older>
<txp:newer><txp:text item="newer" /></txp:newer></p>
</txp:if_individual_article>It doesn’t matter which category i place as first, but only the first is shown. Why are the other categories not being shown when clicked upon?

Re: Categories: Showing specfic category excerpt list on separate page
Gocom, Thx. I was so sure i’d tried that DOH!!! Finally works. A big thx.
One more question.
As you see, I am currently manually adding the extra category name attribute to directly target a specific category.
The problem is of course this means if an additional category is added that I have then go back and manually add that category to the <txp:if_category name="x"> list. Not very efficient! I sure you’d agree :-/
I noticed that clever-clog Mary the developer had a solution that nearly worked for me in this thread that produced the correct articles but without having to manually code each individual category. Is there a way to achieve this on the category section-template. My attempts haven’t worked.
Mary’s code:-
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article limit="1" form="MTS_single" />
<p><txp:link_to_prev><txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev>
<txp:link_to_next><txp:next_title /></txp:link_to_next></p>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category>
<h3>Articles in category <txp:category title="1" />:</h3>
<txp:article limit="5" />
<txp:else />
<h3>All articles:</h3>
<txp:article_custom category="diverse" sort="LastMod desc" limit="3" form="MTS_article_default" />
</txp:if_category>
<p><txp:older><txp:text item="older" /></txp:older>
<txp:newer><txp:text item="newer" /></txp:newer></p>
</txp:if_individual_article>I think, therefore I AM, … … er … I think :-?

Re: Categories: Showing specfic category excerpt list on separate page
Well, you don’t need that <txp:if_category name="x">, because default <txp:article />-tag is a category sensitive.
<txp:if_category>
<txp:if_article_list>
<h3>Articles in category <txp:category title="1" />:</h3>
<txp:article sort="LastMod desc" limit="3" form="MTS_article_default" />
</txp:if_article_list>
</txp:if_category>
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article limit="1" form="MTS_single" />
<p><txp:link_to_prev><txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev> <txp:link_to_next><txp:next_title /></txp:link_to_next></p>
</txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_article_list>
<p><txp:older><txp:text item="older" /></txp:older> <txp:newer><txp:text item="newer" /></txp:newer></p>
</txp:if_article_list>Cheers!

Re: Categories: Showing specfic category excerpt list on separate page
Cheers back at ya Gocom. Really thx man!
But I guess it only works on the default page right!
The code you suggested is similar to my own attempt (well … the result is the same):-
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article limit="1" form="MTS_single" />
<p><txp:link_to_prev><txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev>
<txp:link_to_next><txp:next_title /></txp:link_to_next></p>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category>
<h3>Articles in category <txp:category title="1" />:</h3>
<txp:article sort="LastMod desc" limit="3" form="MTS_article_default" />
</txp:if_category>
<p><txp:older><txp:text item="older" /></txp:older>
<txp:newer><txp:text item="newer" /></txp:newer></p>
</txp:if_individual_article>Which only outputs the category title <txp:category title="1" /> and not the actual article itself?
Am i correct in thinking that the <txp:article /> is also section sensitive.
All the articles are assigned (by default) to the “article” section which is of course owned by the default page-template. (i’m having to use a different section because i want a different layout, and specifically a section I named “category”).
Could this be the reason It’s not outputing the articles.

Yep :) It knows on which section or category page you are, if you’re in an article list or on an individual article’s page (so you also don’t need the limit="1" in that first article tag).
In this case you need article_custom again. Together with asy_wondertag you can use it like this:
<txp:asy_wondertag><txp:article_custom category="<txp:category />" sort="LastMod desc" limit="3" form="MTS_article_default" /></txp:asy_wondertag>
