Article within an article
Hello,
is there any way to nest an article within an article, such as writing <txp:article_custom category="somecategory" /> in the textile article field?
Thanks

Re: Article within an article
Untested.
Your code is not returning an article but a list of articles… i think.
If you wish to use this extensively you could create a custom field named nested and in your page template you could have something like
<txp:if_custom_field name="nested">
<txp:article_custom id='<txp:custom_field name="nested" />'>
<txp:body />
</txp:article_custom>
</txp:if_custom_field>Yiannis

Yes, by doing exactly what you say: just put that code into your article body.

Thanks everybody for the quick answers
@jsoo: I tried out your suggestion, but txp returns a circling reference error (the article loads himself)…

Re: Article within an article
you can also try
notextile. <txp:article_custom id="123">
<txp:body />
</txp:article_custom>Yiannis

Ah — right. You do need to avoid that case. It’s safe to put article_custom into an article body otherwise. So, using article_custom category="something", you would have to use a category not assigned to the current article to be on the safe side.

When I created a sitemap in an article, as described in this TXP Tip, I found out that when using an article_custom tag in an article, “you must specify a form in the article_custom call that is different from the form the article itself is called by, to avoid a circular reference.”

OK, so that’s what I missed. I had tested it out, but using article_custom as a container tag.
