[help] article_custom using more than 1 form ?
Hi
I have a little problem here about displaying article_custom
this is my code:
<txp:article_custom section="info-one,info-two,info-three,info-four, banner-ads, some-links" form="article_short" wraptag="div" class="randArticles" sort="" limit="6" />
those sections are using a single form called article_short form
actually I need to use 3 forms because there are 2 sections not meant to be displayed as an usual article but I don’t know how to make it happen :(
the article_short form there should be used by these sections: info-one,info-two,info-three,info-four
and the sections called: banner-ads and some-links need to use different style of forms
how to make that happen ? is it possible ?
please advise

<txp:if_section name="info-one,info-two,info-three,info-four">
<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' form="article_short" wraptag="div" class="randArticles" sort="" limit="6" />
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="banner_ads">
<txp:article_custom section="banner_ads" form="banner_ads" wraptag="div" class="randArticles" sort="" limit="6" />
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="some-links">
<txp:article_custom section="some-links" form="some-links" wraptag="div" class="randArticles" sort="" limit="6" />

Re: [help] article_custom using more than 1 form ?
or another way:
<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' form='
<txp:if_section name="info-one,info-two,info-three,info-four">
article_short
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="banner_ads">
banner_ads
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="some-links">
some-links
</txp:if_section>
' wraptag="div" class="randArticles" sort="" limit="6" />And you may want to look at rah_output_section_form

Or a variation on the_ghost’s answer:
<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' wraptag="div" class="randArticles" sort="" limit="6">
<txp:if_article_section name="info-one,info-two,info-three,info-four">
<txp:output_form form="article_short" />
</txp:if_article_section>
<txp:if_article_section name="banner-ads">
<txp:output_form form="banners_form" />
</txp:if_article_section>
<txp:if_article_section name="links">
<txp:output_form form="links_form" />
</txp:if_article_section>

Re: [help] article_custom using more than 1 form ?
to : Bloke
actually when I see your code, it looks really nice but It doesn’t work that way
the section=’<txp:section />’ output nothing
but it works when I declare all the section names
like this one below:
<txp:article_custom section="info-one,info-two,info-three,info-four,banner-ads,links" wraptag="div" class="randArticles" sort="" limit="6">
<txp:if_article_section name="info-one,info-two,info-three,info-four">
<txp:output_form form="article_short" />
</txp:if_article_section>
<txp:if_article_section name="banner-ads">
<txp:output_form form="banners_form" />
</txp:if_article_section>
<txp:if_article_section name="links">
<txp:output_form form="links_form" />
</txp:if_article_section>
</txp:article_custom>but I don’t know your perspective by declaring all the sections is a good way

Oh, well I didn’t actually test the code :-) I just copied what the_ghost had done and rejigged it a little.
In theory, that part of the article_custom should only display posts from whichever section you are currently viewing. If that’s not what you want — maybe you want to see the output for all of the relevant sections all of the time — then you will have to do what you specified and list them all (or use <txp:section_list> to get an automatically-generated list).
