"Hide" an article in a listing?

Is there a way to not include a partcilar article in a listing?
I have a form that resides in a section named ‘donate’

Id like to leave it in that section, but when I list articles in that section, I’d like to not include it,
but make it only accessible from a link within other articles.

How can I do this?

(This doesnt mean the hidden status or skipping)
Thanks
Rich

Re: "Hide" an article in a listing?

If I’m thinking straight tonight I believe you can set that particular article to “sticky” and it won’t appear in your normal listings but in order to display it you would need to add some extra code to the page template, something like:-

<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_article_id id="??">
<txp:article status="sticky" form="formname" />
<txp:else />
<txp:article form="formname" />
</txp:if_article_id>
</txp:if_individual_article>

in other words if you are looking at that article the article tag switches to display “sticky” articles otherwise it just displays “live” ones by default.

Maybe you could do some filtering with the help of custom fields or txp-variables?

This was helpful – The sticky wasn’t exactly what I needed, but checking the article ID I could at least skip it.
Otherwise wasnt sure the best way to filter it out.
