Texpattern sitemap?

vickilh · 2007-12-13 16:01:40

Based on what I read in an earlier post, I’ve done this so far:
——————-
1. Created a form called Sitemap:

2. Created a new template called Sitemap, which I added this:

<ul><txp:article_custom limit=99999 form=“sitemap” sortdir=“asc” sortby=“section” /></ul>
—————————-
But … (I’m new to Texpattern) .. how do I get the sitemap to display?

I’ve set up the form, template, and corresponding section. If I go to the URL for that section [<site>/txp/?s=Sitemap], nothing shows up. — I know I’m missing something, just don’t know what.

Thanks!! Vicki

This post offers a step by step method or if you want your articles to be organised by categories you may want to check stuarts’s site

Vicki, probably a silly question, but did you also create a section ‘sitemap’ to which you assigned page template ‘sitemap’? And if you did, make sure that the section name is all lowercase. So your URL would be ?s=sitemap, not ?s=Sitemap.

Doesn’t it display anything at all?

Another cause of the problem could be, if you copied that code from somewhere, that the quotes got textiled. Try this:

<txp:article_custom limit="9999" form="sitemap" sort="section asc" />

You were right- YAY! My copied piece of code must have gotten textiled! I was getting nothing before, and now I get a list of all my categories, grouped by Section.

(probably another dumb question, but I haven’t figured this out yet & I’ve spent so much time on this now ..) Can I have it head up each section with the Section name link, followed by all the categories in that section?

THANK YOU!! vicki

Yes, you can use txp:if_different to do that:

On the page:

<ul><txp:article_custom limit="9999" form="sitemap" sort="section asc" /></ul>

Your form:

<txp:if_different></ul>
<h3><txp:section link="1" title="1" /></h3>
<ul></txp:if_different>
<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>

Note that you will get an empty set of <ul></ul> tags at the beginning of your list. To my knowledge so far there is no solution for that. You could give the first ul a style="display:none;" to prevent it from messing up your layout.

Wonderful! You’ve made my day. I had gotten so tired of looking at this.

I have just one piece to go now. How do I sort the categories (within the sections) alphabetically? I’ve tried different things, no go yet.

THANKS again! Vicki

<txp:article_custom limit="9999" form="sitemap" sort="section asc, title asc" />

PERFECT. You’ve saved me days of hair-pulling! Can’t thank you enough!! Vicki

Hello again!

My sitemap is working fine with this code, but ….

Is there some way I can list out my sitemap so that within the sections, category children are indented below the category parent? I.e., instead of: ————————————- SECTION

category-parent
category-child
category-child
category-child
category-child
category-parent

— It would be listed out like this:

SECTION

category-parent
- category-child
- category-child
- category-child
- category-child
category-parent
—————————————————-
Thanks! Vicki
