Stm_article_order: Articles in Specific Order

Hi Forum,

I am currently working on my Website: http://www.erikscholz.de And I am running into a huge problem. I want to use Articles but they should be sorted in a strict way. So what I tried the last days: searching for Plugins and playing around with them. Stm_article_order was close to my needs but couldn’t solve this:
  • Give me a sorted linklist of articles
  • Provide a Link to next and previous Article

And these two points is what I want to achieve. I will always display only one article at a time and important is just the sorted linklist and a next and previous link.

What would be the best way for me to do it? Is it possible to stuff a new parameter into articles (i.e. Numbers from 0 to x) and read these out with php and program the linklist and next-buttons myself? Or is there a simpler method?

Would be really great to get a suggestion,
Erik

Re: Stm_article_order: Articles in Specific Order

just recently i’ve achieved this with stm_article_order. afair i’ve contacted stanislav back then about link to next/prev tags and he implemented it. maybe it’s not in the documentation as of yet but i’m using:

<txp:stm_link_to_next> ... </txp:stm_link_to_next>

and the list works with an article tag with sort="position asc" applied to it.

Re: Stm_article_order: Articles in Specific Order

Hi,

Thanks for the hint about sorted linklist. It worked!

<txp:stm_link_to_next> ... </txp:stm_link_to_next>

I tried this but I get an errormessage: Tag error: <txp:stm_link_to_prev> -> Textpattern Warning: tag does not exist on line 973

I didn’t know that there is a documentation for stm. Where can I find it?

Best,
Erik

Re: Stm_article_order: Articles in Specific Order

just checked my email conversation with stanislav: he incorporated the prev/next link into a separate plugin which was never released to the public, though… (for reasons i’m not aware of) i’m going to email it to you.

Worked perfectly! Stanislav should integrate that in the other plugin. :)

Re: Stm_article_order: Articles in Specific Order

I’d like a copy as well, if that’s possible. I’ve been trying to figure out how to make prev/next work for tru_tags, and so far I haven’t figured out a way. Maybe this plugin has the solution. (email address: truist-20071229@truist.com)

GugUser,

Thanks — I was looking for the <txp:stm_link_to_next> ... </txp:stm_link_to_next>

But solved it with another plugin.
