Outputting article components to different sections of page

ajw-art · 2010-10-01 03:45:43

I’m trying to setup a gallery site where each item in my portfolio is its own article, and the various components are output in different sections of the page. In this case, I want the article title and excerpt to be in the left sidebar, and the article image and body, as well as the navigation, to be in the content area to the right.

I’d hoped this could be accomplished by wrapping all of the desired page sections in an article tag with a limit of 1, but alas, no dice. The page stops rendering as soon as it hits the article tag. I’m wondering if what I want is even possible.

<txp:output_form form="head" />

<txp:article limit="1">
<aside>
            <h1><txp:title /></h1>
            <p><txp:excerpt /></p>
            <txp:if_custom_field name="sitelink">
<a href="<txp:custom_field name="sitelink">" title="<txp:title />"><txp:image id="8" class="gen" /></a>
</txp:if_custom_field>
                <!--<txp:image id="10" html_id="arrow" />-->
        </aside>

        <section id="content">

        <div><p>Featured Work</p></div>

            <div id="carousel">
                <txp:article_image />

            </div>

        </section>

    <footer>
        <txp:body />
    </footer>
</txp:article>

<txp:output_form form="foot"/>

Any thoughts? (You know, I never figured out how to end a code snippet in textile. It’s quite annoying.)

Hi ajw-art

this:
<txp:custom_field name="sitelink">
should be:
<txp:custom_field name="sitelink" />.

May that fix your page rendering issue?

I didn’t even notice I hadn’t closed the custom_field; I’ve been staring at this code for too long. Unfortunately, no, the page still won’t render. Would the debug information help?

My installation’s a bit screwy as I’m running it on a multisite install using WAMP, and some of things (plugin interfaces, advanced options on articles, and various other admin-side components) aren’t showing up. I doubt that has anything to do with it since my homepage is rendering correctly, but I figured I’d throw it out there just in case.

And now I know how to end a code snippet. Brilliant! Thanks. :)

Appears the article tag isn’t returning any articles. Do you have current, live articles assigned to section “print”?

Doesn’t sound very reassuring.

The HTML5 tags can’t have anything to do with this, can they?

As I was running into so many problems with my local install, I started a new database on my webhost, uploaded the site and voila— the problem was resolved. Just some crazy thing with the local host, I guess. Thanks everyone!
