old blog posts categorized by keywords
I am building a site for a Veterinarian. There is a blog section in it. I would like it to post the most recent blog post on the left, with the older posts sorted by keywords associated with the article off to the right. I have done a similar setup for a news site using another CMS, but to get the functionality and control I want I like using Textpattern. To show you what I have, and what I want, I am providing a link to the website I am working on, and the news blog with the categorization format I want. Any help or possibly pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Current Site: http://www.yoursivet.com/blog
One with categorization setup similar to what I want to do: http://news.jalc.edu/
*For Extra Credit, how do I link get the headline from the most recent blog post to dynamically link on my homepage. http://www.yoursivet.com/

Hi philbert25
article_custom might be of help but in your example on http://news.jalc.edu/ there are no keyword links that I can see.

Re: old blog posts categorized by keywords
Do you need it to be keywords, or could you use something else, like categories or custom fields?
- Categories: <txp:related_articles />
- Custom fields: see this tip on TXP Tips
- Keywords: chh_related_articles or tru_tags
how do I link get the headline from the most recent blog post to dynamically link on my homepage. http://www.yoursivet.com/
In your article form:
<txp:link_to_home><txp:title /></txp:link_to_home>Offline

Sorry about the confusion. You have to click on the +/- next to the Categories on the right hand side.

Re: old blog posts categorized by keywords
Thanks for the replies guys. I’ll look into them. As far as the extra credit goes, I’m not sure how that code would accomplish what I’m trying to do, but I’ll look into it. You can see what I’m trying to do by going to my home page and looking at the section on the right that says, “Most Recent Blog Post”. http://www.yoursivet.com/ Thanks again guys.

Re: old blog posts categorized by keywords
Ah, I completely misunderstood, apologies! Try this:
<txp:article_custom limit="1" section="blog">
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
</txp:article_custom>Offline

Thanks Els, it works like a charm at feeding that headline, now I need the destination of the link to display right. I’ll put that on my list of tasks, but you get full extra credit.
