How to use article_custom in a plugin?

Hello, I’m getting an error when trying to call article_custom inside a plugin. I’m trying to take code that was in a Page (tabber_calupdate) and move it into a plugin, but I’m having trouble accessing the article_custom function from PHP inside the plugin.

The code that works in the Page is this:

         <txp:article_custom status="live" section="3-at-the-center, 4-branches" time="any" sort="posted asc" limit="999" >
             <txp:if_category name="no-calendar"><txp:else />
                <txp:if_expired ><txp:else />
                    <OPTION VALUE="<txp:article_id />"><txp:if_expires ><txp:posted format="%b %d" />-<txp:expires format="%b %d"/></txp:if_expires>:: <txp:custom_field name="Calendar Text" /></OPTION>
                </txp:if_expired>
             </txp:if_category>
           </txp:article_custom>

In the plugin, I thought I could start by getting the results of article_custom, as shown here:

 $ac = article_custom(array(
                             'status'  => "live",
                             'section' => "3-at-the-center, 4-branches",
                             'time'    => "any",
                             'sort'    => "posted asc",
                             'limit'   => "999" 
                        ));
  var_dump($ac);

But it returns Fatal error: Call to undefined function article_custom()

Thank you in advance for any help with this!

Re: How to use article_custom in a plugin?

article_custom() is defined in textpattern/publish.php, which is probably not included at this step (admin-side plugin?), probably for a good reason. You can still try to include_once(txpath.'publish.php'), but the result is unpredictable.
