Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ob1_pagination
This paginates but through the ‘news’ section not all of that articles in category ‘Latest-News’
I don’t think the pagination works with <txp:article />

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ob1_pagination
It does work with txp:article, but its just not the way you want it. Assuming you are in News section, and the articles you want to pull are in other sections, you are correct, we need article_custom:
<!-- section page: display the first two articles then paginate -->
<txp:article_custom status="live" section="heathrow-news,stem-news,health-social-care-news" category="Latest-News" form="news" limit="2" />
<div class="paginationwrap">
<txp:ob1_pagination firsttext="First" previoustext="Previous" nexttext="Next" lasttext="Last" ulclass="pagination" />
</div>Offline

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ob1_pagination

<!-- section page: display the first two articles then paginate -->
<txp:article_custom status="live" section="heathrow-news,stem-news,health-social-care-news,news" category="Latest-News" form="news" limit="2" />
<div class="paginationwrap">
<txp:ob1_pagination firsttext="First" previoustext="Previous" nexttext="Next" lasttext="Last" ulclass="pagination" />

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ob1_pagination
This is all of the code – am i doing something wrong somewhere else, this shows all articles in “Latest-News” but no pagination – so almost ther just without the pagination!
<txp:if_individual_article>
<h3 id="othernews">Other News</h3>
<ul class="othernews">
<txp:article_custom form="news_list" section="news" limit="999" pgonly="0" status="4" time="any" />
</ul>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_article_list>
<!-- section page: display the first two articles then paginate -->
<txp:article_custom status="live" category="Latest-News" listform="news" limit="12" />
<div class="paginationwrap">
<txp:ob1_pagination firsttext="First" previoustext="Previous" nexttext="Next" lasttext="Last" ulclass="pagination" />
</div>
</txp:if_article_list>
</txp:if_individual_article>Offline
Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ob1_pagination
Alex007, I think article_custom does not support pagination (I don’t know, because its not clear from the TextBook entry).
OK – after some testing on one of my sites, it definitely appears article_custom does NOT support paging. I think if you really want to use this pagination plugin, you will have to change your articles and place them in the “news” section, then use categories for organisation.
Pagination is only going to pull articles from within a given section.
What you could do is use if_category conditionals to pull out all the articles within the category you want to show, and use TXP’s built in tags (like next/prev) for pagination within the categories.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ob1_pagination
Thanks jstubbs for all your help with this.
This is why i think i was trying it with chh_article_custom as iblastoff suggested you can paginate through articles within a category here
I hope i can get to the bottom of this as it seems crazy u cant do this with the standard txp library.
Thanks again.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ob1_pagination
Sorry I don’t know the chh_article_custom plugin, but I can tell you that the errors from your earlier post are due to the fact that listform is a deprecated tag.
Instead of this:
<txp:if_article_list>
<!-- section page: display the first two articles then paginate -->
<txp:article_custom status="live" category="Latest-News" listform="news" limit="12" />
<div class="paginationwrap">
<txp:ob1_pagination firsttext="First" previoustext="Previous" nexttext="Next" lasttext="Last" ulclass="pagination" />
</div>
</txp:if_article_list>Try this:
<txp:if_article_list>
<!-- section page: display the first two articles then paginate -->
<txp:chh_article_custom category=“Latest-News” form=“news” limit="2" />
<div class="paginationwrap">
<txp:ob1_pagination firsttext="First" previoustext="Previous" nexttext="Next" lasttext="Last" ulclass="pagination" />
</div>
</txp:if_article_list>Offline

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ob1_pagination
I think chh_custom_ is not working properly with TXP 4.05 (assuming you have that). Have you considered re-arranging the way you organise your section articles in order to make the pagination work?
For example, place all news articles in the news section, then organise further by category. You have quite a lot of options that way.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ob1_pagination
I have done but I cant see h ow it will resolve the problem, how will i show all the news articles in the other sections?
/stem-news if articles are saved under the news section for example?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ob1_pagination
I am reading up on article_custom myself now too, and I just noticed that as it says here there is no way to paginate with the default TXP tags txp:older and txp:newer will not work.
What will work for you is to use a tag like this in your /stem-news section:
<txp:article_custom section="news" limit="100" form="your_form" />That will pull out all of your article from the news section.
If article_custom supported comma separated sections, it would be better…

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ob1_pagination
Mmmm so no solution by the looks of things.
Seems strange as you would imagine this is a perfect example for a good way of having a kind of subsection to the main section, in this example the latest news articles.
Will keep on digging further to see if anyone else has ever done anything like this, if i succeed i will keep you posted.
