making good progress
I think I’m starting to get to grips with TXP now which is great.
Learning curve is similar to Expression Engine (I know I keep barking on about it but it’s what I know).
I have another question which should be a relative quick hitter.
On my site’s homepage I want to pull in my latest project from my client section and my latest entry from my blog section.
Now I used <txp:article_custom id=“2” pgonly=“0” /> which displays my client project by id. That of course renders the following:
<h3 class=“entry-title”><a rel=“bookmark” href=“http://digitalevangelist.net/work/2/greenview-evangelical-church”>Greenview Evangelical Church</a></h3>
<p class=“published”>5 days ago</p>
<div class=“entry-content”> <p>Velit esse cillum dolore sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt quis nostrud exercitation. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Consectetur adipisicing elit, qui officia deserunt sunt in culpa.</p>

Excepteur sint occaecat sunt in culpa ullamco laboris nisi. Velit esse cillum dolore. Ut enim ad minim veniam, excepteur sint occaecat lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>

</div>
<address class=“vcard author”>— <span class=“fn”>Steven Grant</span></address>
<p class=“tags”>, </p>
<div class=“divider”><img src=“http://digitalevangelist.net/images/1.gif” width=“400” height=“1” alt=”—-” title=”“ /></div>
How can I change that so that I can control what heading style is used and how I can drop off the other information that I don’t need?
Thanks,
Steven

Re: making good progress
The article_custom tag will use the default form is no form attribute is assigned, so if you wish to use a different form, then use something like:
<txp:article_custom id=“2” form="my-form" />
Obviously you need to create the form ;-)
You may also use the tag as a container tag like so:
<txp:article_custom id=“2”>
<p><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></p>
</txp:article_custom>So, use either a form or the contents of your form within a container tag.

Thanks jstubbs – that really helps.
I’m getting there – albeit slowly :-)
