step through articles returned by an article_custom tag
I’m trying to step through the articles returned by the following tag: <txp:article_custom limit="1" category="testimonials" form="testimonial_form"/>
I’ve tried using <txp:newer>newer</txp:newer><txp:older>older</txp:older> in the form, but they don’t show up.
any suggestions?

Re: step through articles returned by an article_custom tag
newer and older don’t work with article_custom (see the TextBook page on article_custom). newer and older are context sensitive, and article_custom is not.
At any rate, newer and older don’t belong in an article form. They should go in the Page, after the article tag.

is there a way that i can step through a set of articles, one at a time, in the same space (on the page)?

Are there any tags that are not context sensitive? 1.Could I step through with php? 2.and how would I access the array?

Can you find a way to use <txp:article /> to get the articles you want? E.g., by using a section, keyword, or custom field instead of category? Then you could use older and newer.

I don’t know.

Possible, surely; messy & difficult, probably. I’d look at using section, keyword, or custom field along with <txp:article /> first.
