Call article by article id.

Is it possible to call an article by article id? For instance, linking to it using the ID as opposed to the full url?

Re: Call article by article id.

You can:

<txp:permlink id="123">some words</txp:permlink>

And if you need to “access” more info inside the article, you can:

<txp:article_custom id="123"><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></txp:article_custom>

Re: Call article by article id.

Mike, another way of doing this is through Stef Dawson’s simple but splendid smd_short_url plugin – this has been getting a bit of attention recently as a responsible and sensible way of creating shortened Twitter-friendly links. This gives you urls in the format of site.com/id, where id is the article’s ID
