[SOLVED] article_custom sanity check

Hi. I’m no doubt doing something completely inept, but this should only output expired articles, right?

<txp:article_custom category='<txp:output_form form="coupon_table_sections_select" />' expired="1" form="coupon_table_expiry_expired" limit="999" section="deals" sort="Expires asc" />

The coupon_table_sections_select form correctly chooses the right categories, so that’s working as expected, but all articles (expired and non-expired) are displayed. I have set expired articles to be published, in Admin -> Preferences. There is no if_expired tag in the coupon_table_expiry_expired form, because the article_custom takes care of business, right?

Any pointers very gratefully received. Thank you in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] article_custom sanity check

After a quick scan through the source, the logic appears to be:

• expired="1" – include expired and non-expired articles in results.
• expired ="0" – don’t include expired articles in results

So it looks like you’ll need the if_expired tag in the coupon_table_expiry_expired form after all.
