Re: Get number of posts and do a little bit of calculation with it
This should be easier in TXP 4.0.7, due to the fact that attribute values can be parsed there. You’d just need a tag (or PHP code) that can generate the offset and limit values.
Oi, didn’t see wet’s solution. I do think you’d have to change that intval line to:
$quarter = ceil($posts / 4);and change the limit line to:
'limit' => $quarter,Last edited by ruud (2008-05-09 10:31:09)

Better, yes. I’m off-by-one, as always ;-)

Re: Get number of posts and do a little bit of calculation with it
In order to replicate:
the first part queries the db, calculates, produces no visible output and has to be placed … well, anywhere before the second part, which then is used as a replacement for one of the four article_custom instances, and gets fed with the results of the calculations of part 1, right?
And the principle of
echo article_custom (
array( etc.could be applied to any other appropriate txp-tag by replacing article_custom with the tag’s name, I suppose.

Replaying an evergreen. But not for very much longer.

404. But I think you’re appealing to 4.0.7 and the rewritten parser.

Re: Get number of posts and do a little bit of calculation with it
From the linked evergreen:
Tag handler functions are named like their counterpart tags (stripping the
txp:prefix).
This covers the last part of my question. But was I right with my other presumptions?
