Re: How to display content from different sections using different forms?
Hello,
I noticed you mentioned the use of the article_custom tag within an article body? Well, according to textpattern faqs, you shouldn’t do that:
From txp faqs:
QUESTION: Can I use Textpattern tags in article bodies?
ANSWER: Some, but not all. In particular, <txp:article /> and <txp:article_custom /> usually won’t work at all, and are likely to fail in subtle ways if they do.
On the other hand, this use of article_custom within an article body is mentioned in the Texpattern Solutions (in page 172) in an section about the use of keywords.
I’m counting on using this technique throughout a site I’m developing, so I’m hoping txp faqs are outdated!
Have you been having any problems so far?

Re: How to display content from different sections using different forms?
Hi,
I am not sure if you’re asking me :-), but if so, I finally chose another way. As one of the forumers mentioned before, as long as I have selected the two sections as the only ones that are shown at the home page, I can use the <txp:article> tag with both sections without problem. And I did, and I have had no problems so far, but I guess it’s not what you wanted to do…
I do not use this tag in any article bodies I have ;-)
cheers

Re: How to display content from different sections using different forms?
Sorry, you’re right. The question was meant for those who subscribed to this topic, but then I re-edited the post and “you guys” inadvertently turned to “you”.
I think I’ll create another topic to discuss custom_article/article body conundrum.
Thanks,
