txp:article_custom misbehaving?

My txp:article_custom tag seems to output only if I do not specify a section nor a category. once I specify either of those, it seems to void the whole tag. Does this make sense to anyone?

*update: okay, so it will output if the section I specify matches the section from which the tag is being called. However I believe txp:article_custom is supposed to be able to call articles from any section regardless of the section it’s called within…yes?

Specifying an article id is also returning nothing. What am I missing?

indeed. but i cannot replicate this bug. I see errors of plugins which are not needed any more. Could we have an example on the page you get this error?

Certainly. I’m currently working on this page though it’s a sitewide issue with txp:article_custom. It’s a very old site (running on Textpattern 4.6.2) I’m trying to make sense and recover before I can move forward with it/next.

Calling it on that page as such:

REDORANGE
pink<txp:article_custom form="@journal" limit="1" section="about" />beige
<txp:article_custom limit="1" form="@journal" section="about" category="site-building" />
GOLDSILVER

If I change the tag to be section="journal" then the tag doesn’t output on the “about” page from which it’s being called.

Yes :) I’ve been heavily relying on the docs; they are oxygen.

Re: txp:article_custom misbehaving?

form=”@journal” seems strange to my eyes. why the “@” sign?

Re: txp:article_custom misbehaving?

That’s how I named all my article-related forms. It does seem to call that form successfully. I don’t think that’s an issue, though I could certainly be wrong.. It’s how I’ve always named all my article-related forms.

Re: txp:article_custom misbehaving?

Also, getting a 404 for individual posts. e.g.

I was thinking it could be because I was missing <txp:article /> on some pages (since it doesn’t seem to be working on the pages I put it on), however it’s definitely on that sandbox page and the 404 is still happening..

Re: txp:article_custom misbehaving?

Tag error: <txp:mdn_if_custom field="5" equal="notitle"> ->  Warning: strpos(): Empty needle while parsing form None on page sandbox

just a wild guess but is your plugin compatible with Txp 4.6.2 ? last updated in 2008

mdn_if_custom field

I believe the error t “Warning: strpos():” is PhP related.

Re: txp:article_custom misbehaving?

Well, I’ve eliminated that tag/plugin from the sandbox page, though doesn’t seem to touch the <txp:article_custom /> problems. .

(Thank you very much for the help, btw. I really appreciate your patience.)

Re: txp:article_custom misbehaving?

Hey you. Great to see you back.

This is very odd. Couple of things:

  • Does debugging mode give any clues? Post any relevant parts of the tag trace here if you’re unsure.
  • Check your entire Page and its Forms for any unclosed tags or double-closed tags, e.g. </txp:else />. The parser in 4.6.2 is a lot stricter than in older versions of Txp and won’t necessarily give you much help in telling you (the parser in the next version will be much more helpful, btw).

The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.

Re: txp:article_custom misbehaving?

::hug:::::: I’m hoping to be (on my way) back; I’ve really missed textpeoples.

Heh. I’ll turn debugging mode back on, however it’s reallllly scary. Lots of old plugins.. I’m slowly paring them down, however the site really heavily relies on them.
The Where_used plugin is so much goodness.

Scouring for unclosed/double-closed tags…
