Re: Display articles only with empty category

Hey, that worked! Thank you.
Great, but it’s a shame one has to employ these acrobacies in 2021 for such a natural request. What should we do: allow article_custom set pagination data? let article alter category and other ‘context’ attributes? something else?

I think that it would be great to if we allow article_custom to have pagination data. The tag already has all the other parameters, so it would just be one addition.

The first certainly gets my vote! When amordecosmos OP popped up, my first reaction was <article_custom not category="catx" />. But but pagination :-(

Feasible, but we’d need to enable it via some attribute, for bw-compatibility sake:
<txp:article_custom exclude category="catx" pageby />Which looks artificial compared with
<txp:article exclude category="catx" />What could be wrong with enhancing <txp:article />? If category is not set, pull it from URL as usual.

Can’t see any downside to this. Backwards-compatible and a neat enhancement. It brings article and article_custom a little closer, too. Maybe one day we could even have the flexibility of a single <txp:article /> tag that can do everything <txp:article_custom /> can, but employs context sensitivity first as it does now. Mmmmmm.

yeah, OK. I was going with this thinking it might be easier to implement…

If you can work around the context-sensitivity issue, then sure!

It’s more straightforward, yes, but uglier too.

The only difficulty is to decide on attribute/context interplay.

Well, maybe not in 4.8.5, unless all subtleties are clear. Meanwhile, it’s possible now to use <txp:article_custom /> as partial substitute for <txp:article />:
<txp:article_custom ...some atts... pageby offset />Offline
