Re: Is it possible to create a magazine style using textpattern?
Thanks for all the help.
I have the archive thing and the excerpt part working.
I have created 5 random articles with excerpts.
I have created 2 categories “Issue 1” and “Issue 2”.
I have assigned 3 of these 5 articles to the first category and 2 to the other.
I have created a custom field called “issue”
and assigned this to the custom field part of each page: match=“category, issue”
When I visit the first page, I see all articles and excerpts.
When I visit something like.
https://example.com/?issue=1
I see the same thing. All pages and excerpts. The number 1 can be any number, 13241241234124 for example. It will not give me an error and will show the same thing.

You should assign an issue number (1,2,…) to issue cf of each article. Then find
<txp:article class="article-list" form="article_listing" limit="10" wraptag="ul" />in archive Page and replace it with
<txp:article class="article-list" form="article_listing" limit="999" wraptag="ul" issue='<txp:page_url type="issue" default="1" />' />Then you should be able to filter articles by ?issue=... URL parameter.

BTW: bloke wrote an article on the custom magazine setup used for the TXPmag site, which you can find … on the site itself here. It employs a routing plugin that hasn’t been around for a while but it may still be relevant.

Note that this is an old article. Most of the functions mentioned can now be achieved using native tags without any plugins.
