Output articles that use sub-categories of current category
Imaging we have such category structure:
parent_cat
- sub_cat
- another_sub_cat- We go to url site.by/?c=parent_cat
- In such case tag
<txp:article />shows only articles that have pickedparent_catas their category1 or category2.
Is is possible to hook (using some callback, for example) to add subcategories to db-query?
The idea is to use default article tag. I know how to solve this case using <txp:article_custom />

Re: Output articles that use sub-categories of current category
Your example builds list of categories, subcatories and their articles. But i’m looking for a way to help tag <txp:article /> output articles that have picked subcategory of currently viewing parent category.

Why would it be a problem for you to use article_custom?

Re: Output articles that use sub-categories of current category
It’s a kind of “not best fix”, i think. I have usual <txp:article />, usual pagination, usual markup and they work perfectly and look very logical. To use article_custom i have to add more “if’s” – if_this_category_has_children and others. And I have in this case to add more markup to make pagination work… It’s not txp-way. I believe! :)
I think, the closest (best) fix is to use soo_article_filter, but I have to think over this plugin more to understand how to call it for my needs.
Maybe there is some little <txp:php> which can point txp:article to filter children categories too?

chh_article_custom has an attribute children, maybe you can copy the code?
