[SOLVED] List of articles in current section when individual article

gavnosis · 2011-09-04 08:33:17

I have no problem displaying a list of articles in the current section of my site

<txp:article form="titles" />

with’ titles’ form something like this

<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>

This produces a beautiful list of all the articles in the current section Q.E.D. However, when following a link through to an individual article the list of articles is reduced to just the current article (This is for a site arranged as section/title)

I know I can use <txp:article_custom /> but that doesn’t leave me with a dynamic solution which can be applied to more than one section i.e. this is an illegal move:

<txp:article_custom form="titles" section=" <txp:section />" />

Surely this is possible? Thanks

Hi

Try

<txp:article_custom form="titles" section='<txp:section />' limit="20" />

Note the single quotes.

Also, if you want the current article to be omitted, thanks to Jukka, there is a solution

<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' limit="20">
<txp:if_article_id id='<txp:article_id />'>
<txp:else />
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
</txp:if_article_id>
</txp:article_custom>

Ah, the old ‘single quotes’ trap! Thank you Colak, I thought I was losing my mind… :-) Works a treat!

…although Colak, I can’t seem to get Jukka’s ‘icing on the cake’ to work. I just replace the call to my custom form with this chunk of code in a page?

Hi:) Replace your ‘titles’ form content with

<txp:if_article_id>
<txp:else />
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
</txp:if_article_id>

Edit: correction id='<txp:article_id />' is not needed.

Sorry, Colak, but that doesn’t work for me… The individual case works fine, and shows all articles except the current (QED), but the section page shows no list at all…

This might work

<txp:if_individual_article> <!-- Check if you are in an individual article page -->
<txp:if_article_id> 
<!-- When in an individual article page check if the article id is in the list and exclude it -->
<txp:else />
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink> <!-- show linked titles -->
</txp:if_article_id>
<txp:else /> <!-- check if you are in an article list -->
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink> <!-- show linked titles -->
</txp:if_individual_article>
