Single posts appearing blank

I just don’t understand. Earlier today I got everything to be displayed fine at http://www.k9cyclers.com.
Meaning you could click on any individual post title from the ‘Home’ or ‘Getting Started’ tabs and be taken to the individual post.

I set it up so that the ‘Getting Started’ page is a static page/section with an article which has an overview and links to other articles within that category. Everything was working fine.

I then added another article called ‘Other Tools to Use’. The article appears fine on the home page, but clicking on the title takes me to a blank page with the site theme visible but no text in the content area. The link to the article in the form of the title on the ‘Getting Started’ page was added automatically fine just as I set it up.

But when I clicked on the title it would just be a blank page! When I clicked on other articles they appeared fine at first, but are now going blank as well. I don’ t understand why it’s happening – they were working fine until I added this last article and I’ve checked it again and again and can’t find anything unusual in there at all.

Hi lizaveta

A tag trace might help us finding the culprit for you.

Hi lizaveta, is this a tag trace of the problem page or the front one? In any case you can see the errors at the end of it:)

where you have sortby and sortdir have been replaced by “sort” as of 4.0.4 i think but that was for the txp:article / tag and not for the txp:section_list whose sort attributes can be found here

In any case this is not the reason the article does not appear as the section_list error should not interfere with the article tag.

Ah I’m clueless >.< Sorry, here is the tag trace for one of the post pages. The content is not appearing on this post page just like it isn’t on any other individual post pages:

<!-- Content ========================================== -->
<div id="main">
<p><!-- section page: display the sticky article -->
</p>

</div><!-- end #main -->
</div><!-- end #wrap2 -->

You have a <txp:article status="sticky" limit=1 /> on your page, which probably should be the tag for your front page, but not for the individual article pages. You can change it into something like this:

<txp:if_individual_article>
	<txp:article />
<txp:else />
	<txp:article status="sticky" limit="1" />
</txp:if_individual_article>

Also your section_list tag is not correct, like Yiannis said. Change it into

<txp:section_list break="li" wraptag="ul" />

sortby, sortdir and limit cannot be used in the section_list tag. You can sort the sections, but not by posted. You can use the sort attribute with one or more of the values mentioned here.

Thanks so much, it now works perfectly :)

(And I’m sorry, I must have accidentally missed Yiannis’ post).

I’ve been writing about my Textpattern for 2 days in a row on my web design blog (techvixen.com/webdesign) and I can’t believe how helpful people are here, much better than the Wordpress support forums imo).

els · 2009-03-31 15:41:45

Now that I look at other pages on the site, maybe I got it wrong. I notice that your blog and archive section aren’t displaying anything at the moment. Is it possible that you only need the sticky article for section ‘basics’? In that case change <txp:if_individual_article> in my code example to <txp:if_section name="basics">...</txp:if_section>.

lizaveta · 2009-03-31 15:48:51

Hm, the way it is working now seems to be the way I wanted it to work in the first place. I basically want a sticky to be shown in each section IF that section has a sticky article. So right now when I click on ‘Getting Started’ the sticky post is shown, which contains links to other posts in that section but the other posts aren’t listed in blog-style below the sticky).

The reason there’s nothing in my blog and archive sections at the moment is because there’s no content there (well, there was meant to be content in the archive section when I installed the theme but it didn’t work properly, like a lot of other things with that theme, so I will be finding another way to solve that eventually).
