Make article_custom ignore current article in produced list?
Would be invaluable!
Any TXP gurus have any ideas? :¬)

Re: Make article_custom ignore current article in produced list?
hi
<txp:variable name="myid" value='<txp:article_id />' />
<txp:article_custom category="somecat" section="somesection">
<txp:if_article_id id='<txp:variable name="myid" />'>
<txp:else />
<txp:title />
</txp:if_article_id>
</txp:article_custom>something like that! (not tested but should work)

Hmm, still prints out current article!

Re: Make article_custom ignore current article in produced list?
something to add to the code:
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:variable name="myid" value='<txp:article_id />' />
<txp:article_custom category="somecat" section="somesection">
<txp:if_article_id id='<txp:variable name="myid" />'>
<txp:else />
<txp:title />
</txp:if_article_id>
</txp:article_custom>
<txp:else />
<txp:article_custom category="somecat" section="somesection">
<txp:title />
</txp:article_custom>hi
you can use tag trace to see what’s going on (in admin/prefs put site on debugging and then view your site and see the source code)

It’s always launched from an article page, so is that extra condition necessary?
Also worth noting, the code on the TXP docs didn’t work either (output nothing):
Example 2: Display a list of articles omitting current article
<txp:article_custom label="related" labeltag="h4" section='<txp:section />' wraptag="ul">
<txp:if_article_id>
<txp:else />
<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>
</txp:if_article_id>
</txp:article_custom>Offline

I’m using the example above with success

Re: Make article_custom ignore current article in produced list?
Could it be the fact I’m using keywords perhaps? Here’s the code:
<txp:article_custom section="weddings,venue" keywords="<txp:custom_field name='related'/>">
<txp:if_article_id>
<txp:else />
<div class="container testimonial">
<div class="column span-3"><txp:article_image thumbnail="1" /></div>
<div class="column span-17 prepend-1 last">
<h2><txp:permlink title="<txp:title />"><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
<blockquote>
<p><txp:excerpt /></p>
</blockquote>
</div>
</div>
</txp:if_article_id>
</txp:article_custom>Last edited by rossharvey (2012-02-02 17:12:43)

It’s rather the way you’re nesting the keywords custom_field tag: double/single quotes!
Try:
<txp:article_custom section="weddings,venue" keywords='<txp:custom_field name="related"/>'>
<txp:if_article_id>
<txp:else />
<div class="container testimonial">
<div class="column span-3"><txp:article_image thumbnail="1" /></div>
<div class="column span-17 prepend-1 last">
<h2><txp:permlink title="<txp:title />"><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
<blockquote>
<p><txp:excerpt /></p>
</blockquote>
</div>
</div>
</txp:if_article_id>
</txp:article_custom>Last edited by uli (2012-02-02 17:45:06)

Re: Make article_custom ignore current article in produced list?
The nested quotes work that way, ‘x’ within “y”.
The article_custom call is not the issue, it’s the conditional call for the current article
This, by itself, works. But of course it doesn’t exclude the current article.
<txp:article_custom section="weddings,venue" keywords="<txp:custom_field name='related'/>"/>Last edited by rossharvey (2012-02-02 17:48:07)

Hrrm? Exceptional!
Is keywords as a name for a custom field allowed?

The custom field name is ‘related’, and I pipe that value into the keywords attribute of article_custom.
