Multiple sections, one archive?
I’m having trouble figuring out how to do this:
/section1/allnews
/section2/allnews
/section3/allnews
etc.
So one news archive that changes per section. I see that pages can’t be used as /section/page though, but I can’t make one archive page that works for all sections off of an “article”. So… what’s the deal?
If it’s really how I’m thinking… uhh, that’s sort of lame. =P

Re: Multiple sections, one archive?
Categories and conditionals:) Category ‘allnews’ can be used across sections, you could use gbp_permanent_links to have /section/category/ URLs, and on the page template make use of txp:if_category.
asy_wondertag will make it really easy:
<txp:asy_wondertag><txp:if_category name="<txp:category />"></txp:asy_wondertag>
<txp:article />
</txp:if_category>If you are using one page template for all sections, wrap this in txp:if_section.

Re: Multiple sections, one archive?
Is it possible without categories? I’m assuming not. Pages can’t be off sections as they’re used for sections, but with our current setup I can’t really rig an article to take the job of an archive across multiple sections.

Re: Multiple sections, one archive?
Maybe I didn’t quite get what you’re after. Could you give an example what the archive page should look like?

Re: Multiple sections, one archive?
Are you after one page that is an archive of all your sections? If so, just make a new section and use article_custom on it.

Re: Multiple sections, one archive?
Mmm, something similar, trying to pull out the latest 5 posts from various sections into a page, but article_custom does not support more than one section.
This would be perfect:
<txp:article_custom section="news,sport,life" limit="5" form="article_list" />Since this does not work, the alternative is to use three article_custom tags, but that’s a bit much. Anyone found a better way? I am not going to use categories, so that’s not an option here.

Re: Multiple sections, one archive?
Awesome! You know which revision it was, so I can edit the appropriate TXP file to update it?

One way is use inside the article form:
<txp:if_article_section name="news,sport,life"><txp:if_article_section>Cheers!

Re: Multiple sections, one archive?
Interesting…what do you use for the article_custom tag?

Re: Multiple sections, one archive?
Well I put in this in the page:
<txp:article_custom limit="5" form="blog_list" />And this in the blog_list form:
<txp:if_article_section name="">
<h3 class="blogh3"><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3>
</txp:if_article_section>And it works very nicely….TXP and people like Jukka are always full of surprises :-)
