articles, links, photos in 1 list

Hi,

I’m newbie within the Textpattern CMS.
Is it possible to show all articles, links, … actually each content element within 1 single list/overview chronological?

Kind regards,

Hi hevling, welcome to the forum!

I don’t think it’s possible natively, because they have too different structure, but you have at least two plugin solution:

• either query db tables (textpattern, txp_link, ...) directly with smd_query or etc_query;
• or use appropriately crafted <txp:article_custom />, <txp:linklist />, … tags, and then merge the lists with etc_query.

You can also do it client-side in javascript. Just shout if you need help.

Here is how you can merge articles and files in one list sorted by date, if XSL extension is enabled on your server:

<txp:variable name="mix">
	<dl>
	<txp:article_custom>
		<dt><txp:posted format="%Y-%m-%d" /></dt>
		<dd><txp:title /></dd>
	</txp:article_custom>
	<txp:file_download_list>
		<dt><txp:file_download_modified format="%Y-%m-%d" /></dt>
		<dd><txp:file_download_name /></dd>
	</txp:file_download_list>
	</dl>
</txp:variable>

<txp:etc_query data='<txp:variable name="mix" />'>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="utf-8" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
<xsl:template match="dl">
	<dl>
	<xsl:for-each select="dt">
	<xsl:sort select="." order="descending" />
		<xsl:copy-of select="." />
		<xsl:copy-of select="following-sibling::dd[1]" />
	</xsl:for-each>
	</dl>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
</txp:etc_query>
