Including article body inside another article

I don’t think it’s worth messing around with subversion…

I wasn’t suggesting you should, simply pointing out you’d only need a workaround for a little while.

…where one article needs to have a list of articles in another section in it. Look here…

That’s over-complicating it. All you need to do is call article_custom right after your call to article, in your page.

<txp:article form="my_section_article" />

<txp:article_custom form="the_other_articles" />

?

This thread came up in my search for something..

Probably this capability became possible after these posts; I remember being able to do this (call other articles from within an article) years back, and double-checked: still easily doable now. (Just call the <txp:article_custom id="X" form="your_form" />) (Just in case anyone else searches or stumbles on this thread too in the future.)

I recently ran into a situation where I needed to include aspects of the next/previous article for navigation on an article page. You can get prev_title to get the title but I needed the article image as well. I eventually figured out how to use etc_link_to with this method suggested by etc.

<txp:variable name="more" value='<txp:link_to_prev /><txp:link_to_next />' />
<txp:variable name="prev" value='<txp:link_to_prev />' />
<txp:variable name="next" value='<txp:link_to_next />' />

<div class="post-pagination">

<txp:if_variable name="more" value="">
<txp:else />  

    <txp:if_variable name="prev" value="">
    <txp:else />

        <txp:article_custom form="pagination-prev" id='<txp:etc_link_to target="prev" link="0"> 
<txp:etc_link_id /></txp:etc_link_to>' />

    </txp:if_variable>

    <txp:if_variable name="next" value="">
    <txp:else />	

        <txp:article_custom form="pagination-next" id='<txp:etc_link_to target="next" link="0">
<txp:etc_link_id /></txp:etc_link_to>' />

    </txp:if_variable>

</txp:if_variable>

As Alicson notes above, that lets you display whatever you need.

In 4.6+ this probably works to get the next/prev article id:

<txp:php>
    global $thisarticle;
    echo $thisarticle['next']['ID'];
    echo $thisarticle['prev']['ID'];
</txp:php>

Is that valid also for non-core sort values like “position” (created by stm_article_~~custom~~ order)?

I tested it and got:

Tag error: <txp:php> ->  Notice: Undefined index: ID while parsing form pagination-next on page section

If stm_article_custom is just creating and populating some custom field — yes, it should. Otherwise I don’t know. :-)

Yes, it must be $thisarticle['next']['thisid'], sorry. And you probably have to call <txp:link_to_next /> before, to populate it.

Yes, it does. (Uncertainty probably caused by my faulty plugin name, I meant stm_article_order

I never like to use raw PHP code where a plugin would work just as well and is so much cleaner.

// TXP 4.6 tag registration
if (class_exists('\Textpattern\Tag\Registry')) {
Txp::get('\Textpattern\Tag\Registry')
->register('mkp_next_id')
->register('mkp_prev_id')
;
}

function mkp_next_id()
{
    global $thisarticle;
    return ($thisarticle['next']['thisid']);
}

function mkp_prev_id()
{
    global $thisarticle;
    return ($thisarticle['prev']['thisid']);
}

I actually think, though, these might be useful tags to add to 4.7.
