getting list of acticles in a section

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong here?

<txp:article_custom form="article_listing" pgonly="0" section="news-local-links" sort="Title asc" />
kicks out a list of all the articles in the section “news-local-links”

but when I’m in the section news-local-links this below renders blank:

<txp:php> global $sect; $sect = "<txp:section />"; echo '<txp:article_custom form="article_listing" pgonly="0" section="$sect" sort="Title asc" />'; </txp:php>

Shouldn’t <txp:section /> be getting the current section name that I’m in? I want to be able to use one article form across a few different pages and sections and display a list when ever this form is used.

Re: getting list of acticles in a section

this will probably do what you want:

<txp:article_custom form="article_listing" section='<txp:section />' sort="Title asc" />

Note: you can leave out the pgonly="0", it’s the default.

Re: getting list of acticles in a section

so now that I have this working great (thank you Els), is there a way to not show the current article in the list? I’ve been rackin’ my brain on a solution for this most of the day and keep coming up blank.

Take a look at what (again) Els did here with the if_article_id tag and article_custom as a container tag.


In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links
