I think you can only use a regular article tag for the first one
Yes, that’s right, article_custom can only display an article list.
I don’t get what your intention is with the limit="999" if you only want to display one article at the time??? This code says to display 999 articles on an individual article page, and 1 article on an article list page…
<div class="content">
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article_custom limit="999" section="blog" />
<txp:else /><txp:article_custom section="blog" pgonly="0" form="home" limit="1" />
</txp:if_individual_article>Anyway, just in case you want to display 1 (one) article on an individual article page, and that article can be either live or sticky, try this:
<div class="content">
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article />
<txp:article status="sticky" />
<txp:else />
<txp:article_custom section="blog" form="home" limit="1" />
</txp:if_individual_article>Offline
Re: simple article status display problem, need help
Thanks a mill for clarifying El’s
Why wouldn’t this display two articles:
<div class=“content”>
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article />
<txp:article status=“sticky” />
….

Because – in individual article mode – the first tag, <txp:article />, will display a ‘live’ article. If the requested individual article happens to be ‘sticky’, there is nothing for it to display. The same reasoning applies to the second tag, that will only display an article if it’s ‘sticky’.

Re: simple article status display problem, need help
ok then so the <txp:if_individual_article> tag is only going to display one article no mater how many <article /> tags with what ever attributes you have below it. Makes sense. thanks again for your patience.

Re: simple article status display problem, need help
Not exactly.
If you have this
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article />
<txp:article />
<txp:article />
</txp:if_individual_article>You are going to get the corresponding article (the one corresponding to the URL —the individual article permlink— you are visiting) listed three times.
The snippet Els posted will work because <txp:article /> is the same as <txp:article status="live" /> (in other words, status attribute defaults to 'live').

Re: simple article status display problem, need help
ok so as long as the status of each article tag is different only one article will be displayed.
cheers.
