Where and how are you using the tag?

That is what it’s supposed to do. When you want it to display search results on another page, use the section attribute. (txp:search_input)

Re: Older articles and search not working

Here is the context for a column on the front page:

<div class=“column span-3 “><h2>Notes<hr2></hr2></h2> <txp:article_custom allowoverride=“1” category=“Notes” form=“Main Page” limit=“5” pgonly=“0” /><txp:older>Older</txp:older> </div>

you can see the format at departandarrive.com

thanks for the search problem

Re: Older articles and search not working

Pagination works only with <txp:article />, not with <txp:article_custom />. Also search-function requires <txp:article />-tag to show the results. As we know <txp:article /> is content & context sensitive, but <txp:article_custom /> is not.

So like this in example:

<div class="column span-3">
	<h2>Notes</h2>
	<txp:article category="Notes" allowoverride="1" form="Main Page" limit="5" pgonly="0" />
	<txp:older>Older</txp:older>
</div>

PS. What is that <hr2></hr2>-element? There isn’t any that kind of element in (X)HTML.

Cheers!

Re: Older articles and search not working

not so fast, just noticed it can only show all category articles, even with category=”“ it shows them all.

is there a way of just showing certain cat. with an older tag?

But it should be <hr /> not a <hr2 />.

You need to use a plugin, like jk_neighbour

Cheers!
