Article Lists

Hi

I need to produce a list of article titles.

I have been using RSS Suparchive but the offset feature doesn’t work (not sure why).

I have a large number of sections and wish to exclude only 5 or 6 making it tricky to use article_custom.

Does anyone know

a) a way to fix rss_suparchive.

b) another plugin that might do what I want.

c) another way of doing this using native txp.

Thanks

Solved this using c)

Used <txp:article_custom /> to call a form.

In the form I used <txp:if_article_section > to check if it’s one of sections which I don’t want outputting.

Just be aware that any counts would be off. If your limiting the number of articles or displaying a count or pageing.

Thanks Matt,

I did notice this happening.

I use articles to produce adverts with an expiry date (very useful).

I can however set the publishing date to say 2006 which stops the ads appearing in my recent article lists.

Thanks

<txp:article_custom section='
   <txp:section_list exclude="section1,section2" break=",">
      <txp:section />
   </txp:section_list>
' />

(line breaks added for clarity)

I’m sure I learned that from Els, but I can’t remember in which thread.

Thank you jsoo,

I was unaware of the exclude option of section_list.

This will work perfectly.
