Archive in Article section? (/articles/archive/)
How do I achieve an archive page within the articles section? So that the url reads /articles/archive/ instead of just /archive/. (This is mainly for good looks as I renamed my articles section to weblog and after all the archive is part of the weblog.)

Have a look at gbp_permanent_links. You could use it to insert a text snippet ‘archive’ in the URL, or (using a category ‘archive’), create /section/category/title URLs. There is no native Txp way to achieve this.

You can also just use an article titled “archive” in the articles section, and either use output_form to pull in your archive, or place the archive manually into the article.

I think I’ll try the article named “archive” together with a custom form. Should work.

Yes, think I’ll write a TXP Tip on this method of archive…not tried this before but it should work fine. If you have any code to share, please post it!

Ah, so simple, why didn’t I think of that… (doh, I’m even using this method myself…)

I think the code can be copied for the most part from this TXP Tip :)

Els, I post TXP Tips, but I don’t necessarily read them :-) I was thinking of something more simple actually. Lets see what dl33 comes up with first!

Caught! :) (If I were you I wouldn’t have mentioned that…)
Here is a very basic example (I’m using it for a sitemap page):
<ul>
<li><txp:link_to_home>Home</txp:link_to_home></li>
<txp:section_list sections="section-5,section-1,section-2,section-7" break="">
<li><txp:section title="1" />
<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />'>
<txp:if_first_article><ul></txp:if_first_article>
<li><a href="<txp:permlink />" title="<txp:title />"><txp:title /></a></li>
<txp:if_last_article></ul></txp:if_last_article>
</txp:article_custom>
</li>
</txp:section_list>
</ul>(Don’t forget the break="" in section_list or it will output <br />s.)
You can of course add a link="1" to <txp:section />.

Yeah, I shouldn’t admit to not reading..well, I did mean not thoroughly! I spend more time putting the tips together for easy reading for users than anything else…
Your code – are you placing that in an article like we talked earlier in the thread?

Yes, that’s in an article. In my case the URL is /information/sitemap, but it can just as wel be /articles/archive.

Mind if I use this for a TXP Tip? (And I’ll read it very carefully first!) :-)
