Pagination while listing articles by category - full topic
I’m starked – I’ve tried thousands of ways, searched through all forum and don’t know know yet how to
enable pagination while listing articles by category?
I used such way:
Page template:
<txp:if_category>
<txp:chh_article_custom limit="3" form="lofi" category="?" listform="ghost_list_category" />
</txp:if_category>lofi form:
<txp:if_category>
<txp:chh_article_custom limit="3" form="lofi" category="?" listform="ghost_list_category" />
</txp:if_category>ghost_list_category form:
<h1><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h1>
<br />
<txp:excerpt />
<br />And some lines bellow I wrote:
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:newer>Back</txp:newer>
<br />
<txp:older>Forward</txp:older>
</txp:if_article_list>As result – articles are limitting by 3, but there is no ane pagination links! For main page i used such code:
<txp:glx_if_frontpage>
<txp:article sort="Posted desc" limit="3" />
</txp:glx_if_frontpage>And this one works – Forward\back links appear!

Re: Pagination while listing articles by category - full topic
On the page:
<txp:if_category>
<txp:article limit="3" listform="ghost_list_category" />
</txp:if_category>Forget the ‘lofi’ form.
<txp:article /> is context sensitive, so when on a category page, it will automatically display an article list from that particular category.
You can even do this (without the conditional):
<txp:article limit="3" form="single_article_form" listform="ghost_list_category" />When on a single article page it will use form “single_article_form” and when on an article list page it will use “ghost_list_category”.

Thanks, but it doesn’t help. It don’t want to show articles when openning any category… I’m confused… Because article_custom works fine. May be there is way to enable pagination for article_custom?

Pagination doesn’t work with article_custom, that’s why I suggested <txp:article />.
Is the page you are using this code on the default page template or a separate section page? Because if you want to display articles from a particular section on another section’s page, then you’re right, my code won’t work. But I thought that with chh_article_custom (or else maybe chh_article) pagination was possible?

I understand the difference between article and article_custom. I just want to say – article_custom shows desirable articles, but woithout pagination. It can only limit the amount of displayed articles.

I have one page template for all sections.

Sure! :) On line 664 (as of txp 4.5) replace
$theAtts['frontpage'] = ($s && $s=='default')? true: false;by
$theAtts['frontpage'] = ($s && $s=='default' && !$theAtts['frontpage'])? true: false;Then add the attribute frontpage='<txp:if_category>1</txp:if_category>' to your <txp:article /> tag. The pagination should work now for article-by-category lists, and I don’t know what is broken, probably sections’ on_frontpage setting.
