Override Form causes Article to repeat.
When I use the “Override Form” on an article, it works, but it also repeats the article again at the end of the article list. I’m not sure why this occurs and could use any suggestions or tips.
Link to the problem page (first article “Twitter Status” repeats at end of page.)

Thanks!

Re: Override Form causes Article to repeat.
It would help if you’d post the code you have on your page to display the articles, and/or the tag trace.

Re: Override Form causes Article to repeat.
Whoa, sorry to say this, but that code is a bit of a mess… it’s not easy to find where the problem lies. There are several incorrect conditional tags (empty pairs, closing tags without opening tags), and also you are for instance opening div, ul and li tags in the first part of the condition, and closing them in the ‘else’ part, which renders invalid xhtml. You’d better address this first, then it’s easier to see where and why the actual tags don’t function. (The validator will help you.)
As an example, here is what I would make of your regular form.
<!-- PROJECT CELL: Project_form -->
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:if_first_article><ul class="cells"></txp:if_first_article>
<li class="gallery">
<div class="cellblock">
<h5><txp:title /></h5>
<txp:wet_article_thumb />
<txp:body />
<p class="read-more"> <a href="<txp:permlink />#body" title="<txp:title />">»View More</a></p><hr />
<div class="date"><txp:posted /> Posted By: <txp:author /></div>
<p class="tags"><txp:category1 title="1" link="1" /> + <txp:category2 title="1" link="1" /></p>
<txp:comments_invite wraptag="p" />
</div>
</li>
<txp:if_last_article></ul></txp:if_last_article>
<txp:else />
<!--DETAIL PAGE -->
<div class= "celltitler">
<h5><txp:title /></h5>
<txp:if_excerpt>
<txp:excerpt />
</txp:if_excerpt>
</div>
<div class="entry-content">
<p class="tags"><txp:category1 title="1" link="1" /> + <txp:category2 title="1" link="1" /></p>
</div>
<div class="nextprev">
<div class="cellprevnext">Next: <txp:link_to_prev showalways="1"> <txp:prev_title /></txp:link_to_prev>
</div>
<div class="cellprevnext">Prev: <txp:link_to_next showalways="1"><txp:next_title /></txp:link_to_next>
</div>
<div class="cellprevnext"><a href="http://thedept.com/index.php?s=projects"> Projects Gallery </a>
</div>
</div>
<txp:hak_article_image linktype='page' link='1' linktitle='txp:caption' wraptag="li" form="hakimage" />
<br />
<txp:comments />
<txp:comments_form />
</txp:if_article_list>Offline
Re: Override Form causes Article to repeat.
Hi Els, yes, I must apologize for my bad code, i guess you can tell I’m more of a design guy than a code guy ;) I’m trying though.
I really appreciate the code suggestions/fixes. I will go ahead and fix those errors you mentioned and try the validator again.
Thanks for the help, i really appreciate it!

Re: Override Form causes Article to repeat.
Hello Els,
Using the http://validator.w3.org/ I was able to knock down my errors from “70” to just “4”. However these last 4 have me really stumped.
Been testing out changes on this section of my site:
http://www.thedept.com/archive
Any suggestion I would greatly appreciate it.
Best,
Elstrausso

Re: Override Form causes Article to repeat.
You’re not closing the container div and then you have some badly formed links missing a space before target

Well done! Matt is right:
You’re not closing the container div
Meaning: add one more </div> just before </body>. For a better overview I usually add something like this after the closing tags:
</div><!-- closing container -->and then you have some badly formed links missing a space before
target
Actually it’s only one link: <a href= "http://www.textpattern.com" target="_blank"> in the footer. Remove the space after href=.
Tip: the validator has the option ‘show source’. If you check that, it will display the page source with the line numbers, so you can easily find the error causing code.
Looking at your site, I think the problem with the duplicated articles is solved?

Re: Override Form causes Article to repeat.
I thought it was just that one with the space also but there was also a link with a missing space
