How to use exclude parameter in txp:article for excluding a category?
Since 4.6.0+ txp:article seems to support excluding articles by their category, but it is not really clear for me, how to realize that.
exclude="article id(s) or field(s)" v4.6.0+
Exclude a specific article or list of articles (each ID separated by a comma), or the articles with matching fields (author, category, etc.).So how can I exclude all articles with the first category “badcategory”?
Something like exclude="category=badcategory" doesn’t work.
<txp:article exclude="category1=badcategory" wraptag="" break="" offset="0" limit="12" />exclude="field(category1,badcategory)" also doesn’t give the desired result.
Any hint?

Untested but have you tried:
<txp:article exclude="category1" category1="badcategory" wraptag="" break="" offset="0" limit="12" />The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t work. Excludes a lot of articles, but not the right ones. It seems to exclude all articles with an existing category1, means shows only noncategorised articles.

How about
<txp:article exclude="category" category="badcategory" match="category1" />Offline

Sadly, it doesn’t work. To be sure, I try that in Textpattern 4.8.7 with PHP 8.0.5.

It should probably be <txp:article_custom />, since <txp:article /> ignores category attribute.

Should we accept section, category, etc in <txp:article /> too, using URL context as defaults? Looks reasonable.

Seems like a good idea. Maybe one day article_custom can be retired.
