Category List Question

I know I am probably overlooking the obvious, but for whatever reason, I am not able to limit the articles that someone sees when they select a category from my category list.

Right now on my page I have the following:

<txp:category_list sort="name" section="article" wraptag="ul" break="li" />

This works like a charm.

The problem is that when you select any of the categories, it lists all the articles, and does not limit them to the articles in that particular category.

The code I have on the page to display the articles is:

<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article pgonly="0" />
<br />
<div class="previouspost">
<txp:link_to_prev>&lt;&lt;&nbsp;Previous:&nbsp;<txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev>
</div>
<br />
<div class="nextpost">
<txp:link_to_next>Next:&nbsp;<txp:next_title />&nbsp;&gt;&gt;</txp:link_to_next>
</div>
</txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:article_custom pgonly="0" section="article" form="excerpt"/>
<br />
<p>
<txp:older>&lt;&lt;&nbsp;Previous</txp:older> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<txp:newer>Next&nbsp;&gt;&gt;</txp:newer>
</p>
</txp:if_article_list>	

I have tried several variations using “if” statements, but for whatever reason I can only get bits and pieces to work.

I know I am making this more difficult than it has to be.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Category List Question

Use <txp:article /> instead of <txp:article_custom />. The latter is not context sensitive, so it doesn’t ‘know’ it’s a category page.

Re: Category List Question

It is because you are using article_custom. You want something like:

<txp:if_individual_article>
	<txp:article />

	<div class="previouspost">
		<txp:link_to_prev>&lt;&lt; Previous: <txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev>
	</div>
	<div class="nextpost">
		<txp:link_to_next>Next: <txp:next_title /> &gt;&gt;</txp:link_to_next>
	</div>
<txp:else />
	<txp:if_category>
		<txp:article form="excerpt" />
	<txp:else />
		<txp:article_custom section="article" form="excerpt" />
	</txp:if_category>

	<p><txp:older>&lt;&lt; Previous</txp:older>   <txp:newer>Next &gt;&gt;</txp:newer></p>
</txp:if_individual_article>
