[SOLVED] template structure

I am working on my localhost. This should be simple enough but I just can’t figure it out!

I am trying to create a template where I can have

  • search results
  • a particular article in the section front page
  • a list of articles when in a category url
  • an article when in an individual article page

The skeletal code below is where I am at the moment but it does not work as it does not return the expected content when visiting the particular urls.

Can anybody figure out where I am messing it up?

<txp:if_search>
	<txp:if_search_results>
		<txp:article searchsticky="1">
			<h2><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
		</txp:article>
	<txp:else />
		<p>No results</p>
	</txp:if_search_results>
	<txp:else />
		<txp:if_article_list>
			<txp:if_section name='<txp:section />'>
				<txp:article_custom id="2" status="sticky">
					<h2><txp:title /></h2>
					<txp:body />
				</txp:article_custom>
				<txp:else />
				<txp:if_category name='<txp:category />'>
					<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' category='<txp:category />' limit="999" time="any">
					<h2><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
					</txp:article_custom>
				</txp:if_category>
			</txp:if_section>
		<txp:else />
			<txp:article>
				<h2><txp:title /></h2>
				<txp:body />
			</txp:article>
		</txp:if_article_list>
</txp:if_search>

Re: [SOLVED] template structure

Hmm… Perhaps its because you don’t have a closing </txp:if_category>.

If it helps, this is one I recently did for my own website.

<txp:output_form form="meta" />
<body id="<txp:if_section name="">front<txp:else /><txp:section /></txp:if_section>">

	<div class="grid">
		<!-- header -->
		<txp:output_form form="head" />

		<!-- if category listing -->
		<txp:if_category>
			<txp:output_form form="category_listing" />

			<!-- if individual article change navigation at bottom (i.e. older posts, newer posts) -->
			<txp:if_individual_article>
				<txp:output_form form="nav-article" />
			<txp:else />
				<txp:output_form form="pagination" />
			</txp:if_individual_article>

			</div>
			<txp:output_form form="foot-wide" />

		<txp:else />

			<!-- if search results -->
			<txp:if_search>

				<txp:output_form form="search_listing" />

				<!-- if individual article change navigation at bottom (i.e. older posts, newer posts) -->
				<txp:if_individual_article>
					<txp:output_form form="nav-article" />
				<txp:else />
					<txp:output_form form="pagination" />
				</txp:if_individual_article>

				</div>
				<txp:output_form form="foot-wide" />

			<txp:else />

				<!-- not category listing or search page? show home page -->
				<txp:output_form form="homepage" />

			</txp:if_search>
		</txp:if_category>

</body>
</html>

Re: [SOLVED] template structure

thank you Justin, It kind of move things on. I can now see article id 2 no matter what url I’m in.

Updated the code above to include the if_category closing tag.

Re: [SOLVED] template structure

Hi Yiannis, try this:

<txp:if_search><!-- search results page -->
	<txp:if_search_results><!-- search results page with results -->
		<txp:article searchsticky="1">
			<h2><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
		</txp:article>
	<txp:else /><!-- search results page with no results -->
		<p>No results</p>
	</txp:if_search_results>
<txp:else /><!-- anything but a search results page -->
	<txp:if_article_list><!-- article list page, either section or category -->
		<txp:if_category><!-- category page -->
			<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' category='<txp:category />' limit="999" time="any">
				<h2><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
			</txp:article_custom>
		<txp:else /><!-- section home page -->
			<txp:article_custom id="2" status="sticky">
				<h2><txp:title /></h2>
				<txp:body />
			</txp:article_custom>
		</txp:if_category>
	<txp:else /><!-- individual article page -->
		<txp:article>
			<h2><txp:title /></h2>
			<txp:body />
		</txp:article>
	</txp:if_article_list>
</txp:if_search>

Edit: instead of <txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' category='<txp:category />'> you can use <txp:article>.

Re: [SOLVED] template structure

Hi Els
I tried your suggestion but unfortunately it produces the same results. Just shows article id 2.

Then all of us must be sleeping… ;) Can you post a tag trace of the pages that unintentionally show article #2?

Re: [SOLVED] template structure

Here is a category page which is obviously returning a faux false.

<txp:if_search>
	[<txp:if_search>: false]
	<txp:if_article_list>
		[<txp:if_article_list>: true]
		<txp:if_category>
			[<txp:if_category>: false]
			<txp:article_custom id="2" status="sticky">
				[SQL (0.0011699199676514): select *, unix_timestamp(Posted) as uPosted, unix_timestamp(Expires) as uExpires, unix_timestamp(LastMod) as uLastMod from aa_textpattern as textpattern where 1=1 and Status >= 4 and Posted <= now() and ID IN (2) order by Posted desc limit 0, 10]
				[article 2]
				<txp:title />
				<txp:body />
			</txp:article_custom>
		</txp:if_category>
	</txp:if_article_list>
</txp:if_search>

I also tried replacing <txp:if_category> with <txp:if_category name='<txp:category />'>, which again returns a false:(

Re: [SOLVED] template structure

I suddenly remember there is an issue with if_category and some plugins. Are you using gbp_permanent_links?

!!! yep:) For the first time I’m experimenting with it. Is that it? Is there a work around?

Fortunately, yes :) Replace this:

		<txp:if_category><!-- category page -->
			<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' category='<txp:category />' limit="999" time="any">
				<h2><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
			</txp:article_custom>
		<txp:else /><!-- section home page -->
			<txp:article_custom id="2" status="sticky">
				<h2><txp:title /></h2>
				<txp:body />
			</txp:article_custom>
		</txp:if_category>

with this:

		<txp:variable name="categoryname" value='<txp:page_url type="c" />' />
		<txp:if_variable name="categoryname" value=""><!-- section home page -->
			<txp:article_custom id="2" status="sticky">
				<h2><txp:title /></h2>
				<txp:body />
			</txp:article_custom>
		<txp:else /><!-- category page -->
			<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' category='<txp:category />' limit="999" time="any">
				<h2><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
			</txp:article_custom>
		</txp:if_variable>

Re: [SOLVED] template structure

That did it. The ever flexible txp:variable from the code queen. Thanks soo much Els.

I’m actually experimenting on a trilingual site without the use of Steve’s plugin. Hopefully i’ll be able to work out the rest of it:)

I did one years ago. Not as sophisticated as an MLP site, but quite workable.

I’m sure you will. Let me know when it’s finished, I’d love to see how you did it.
