Limit articles displayed by the current month/year
Currently I’m using the following to display my published articles for the current month and year:
<txp:article_custom month="2010-02" time="any" sort="posted" />
What I would like to do is have the month attribute auto update (every month and new year) so I don’t have to edit my code. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Re: Limit articles displayed by the current month/year
month='<txp:php>echo date("Y-m");</txp:php>'
But if you will not have any articles in the current month, it will not show anything at all.

Need to use single quotes for tags within tags;
month='<txp:php>echo date("Y-m");</txp:php>'Code is topiary

Or a month select menu
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Re: Limit articles displayed by the current month/year
Wow thank you.
uli: The month select menu isn’t quite what I’m looking for in this instance but it could prove extremely useful for other projects. Thanks for the link.
Next question (as I can foresee my boss asking about this). Is there away to limit the articles displayed to range from Monday – Sunday for the current week/month/year and auto update itself?
Basically I’m designing a What’s On page that will display all the current calendar activities and their dates between a specified time period, either monthly or weekly depending on what my boss decides on. All the information will be entered for the entire year in advance with future dates assigned to their articles and Textpattern will automatically handle hiding the old articles and displaying the new ones.
Thanks.

That is trickier. You could try the no-longer-supported chh_article_custom plugin; I’ve heard conflicting reports as to whether or not it works correctly in Txp 4.2.0. It has a start and end feature; you would need some additional work to calculate the start and end of the current week.

Re: Limit articles displayed by the current month/year
Why don’t you have a look at the excellent smd_calendar plugin?

Re: Limit articles displayed by the current month/year
Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll have to take a look at smd_calendar and see what it can do. Not too sure about having a monthly calendar on the page but if can give me more flexibility in displaying articles according to set date patterns I can definitely see a use for it in multiple sections of the site I’m working on.
