sorting articles
I got hundreds of articles I want to sort in different sections and categories,
SECTIONS: Restaurants, Shops, Entertainment
CATEGORY 1: NY, London, Madrid
and also with custom fields
CITY: NY, London, Madrid
Right now all the articles are for only one city “MADRID”
I have sorted the articles in their own pages.
INDEX (article list of all articles)
RESTUARANTS (article list of all articles in restaurants)
SHOPS (article list of all articles in shops)
etc…
The problem is now I started uploading content for a new city, for example “LONDON”.
I need to make an article list of only the RESTAURANTS/SHOPS/ETC… in ONE CITY (LONDON, or Madrid, etc…).
How would I do that?
THANKS!

Re: sorting articles
See:
- txp:article
- txp:article_custom
- txp:category
- txp:if_category
- txp:category_list
- Bookmark Tag Reference
The section (for example Shops) would hold category_list that lists categories, and on category context, you could use <txp:article /> to show the articles.
Example of a section page:
<txp:if_category>
<txp:article />
<txp:else />
<txp:category_list section='<txp:section />' this_section="1" />
</txp:if_category>Offline

Re: sorting articles
Could you explain that? dont understand what you are trying to say.
Take a look at www.cityexpert (dot) es
Thats is the site, right now displays places from Madrid (Restaurants, etc…)
I want to incluse Sevilla.
So What I nee to do is create pages and sections for the new city, right?
The thing is, what txp tags i need to use to display only an article list from a specific category?
the category will be “Sevilla” (the new city)
I am thinking something like this? :
<txp:article_custom form="fichas" category="sevilla" section="Restuarant"/>Last edited by mlarino (2009-06-29 16:08:58)

Re: sorting articles
In the front page I have:
<txp:article limit="14" form="fichas" class="published"/>That is displaying all the articles published. with a limit of 14
If I want to display the articles that have “Madrid” as a Category, I use this, but is not working:
<txp:article_custom form="fichas" category="Madrid"/>no articles are displayed.
Madrid is a Category with a bunch of child categories inside.

Re: sorting articles
First, change your category and section names to all lowercase, it’s not recommended to use capitals there.
Second, if your articles are only in the child categories, and not in the parent category ‘madrid’, your tag is not going to display them. Use this instead:
<txp:article_custom form="fichas" category='<txp:category_list parent="madrid" exclude="madrid" break=","><txp:category /></txp:category_list>' />Offline

Re: sorting articles
So,
I have this now:
<txp:article_custom limit="14" form="fichas" category="madrid" class="published"/>but it doesnt paginate like this one:
<txp:article limit="14" form="fichas" category="madrid" class="published"/>Is there a way to make “article_custom” paginate to display 14 articles on each page?

no, article_custom does not support pagination

Re: sorting articles
&/”%/!!!
Oh Oh…
So article custom is not something I can use then… I need it to paginate, because I am displaying 14 articles per page. and have buttons to navigate to the next 14… etc…
So can I make an article tag that will only display articles from one category?
this is not working beause doesnt limit the output to the specific Category (only limits it when its article_custom)
<txp:if_section name="madrid">
<txp:article limit="10" form="fichas" category="madrid" section="restaurantes-y-bares"/>
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="london">
<txp:article limit="10" form="fichas" category="london" section="restaurantes-y-bares"/>
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="nyc">
<txp:article limit="10" form="fichas" category="nyc" section="restaurantes-y-bares"/>
</txp:if_section>Last edited by mlarino (2009-06-30 08:59:01)

Re: sorting articles
The chh_article_custom plugin (Here) is what you need.
It paginates like txp:article but accepts section and category.
<txp:chh_article limit=“14” form=“fichas” category=“madrid” class=“published”/>
(Note that the same plugin creates both <txp:chh_article /> and <txp:chh_article_custom />)

Re: sorting articles
That plugin is not supported anymore… have you tested that in the latest txp install?
