How to get children articles to display
Hi, I am having issues displaying articles from the children category and single articles. I can display the children(s) but when I click on the link to display all the articles followed by the children category link. It doesn’t show the articles. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Example:- Office (parent)
- Desk(child)
- Bookcases(child)
<txp:if_section name='<txp:section/>'>
<txp:if_category>
<!--Display children category -->
<txp:category_list wraptag="div" class="row" break="" parent='<txp:category />' children="1" exclude='<txp:category />'>
<txp:category title="1" link="1" />
</txp:category_list>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_individual_article>
<!--Display *articles from children category -->
<txp:article category='<txp:category/>' break=""status="live" />
<!--Display *single article from children category -->
<txp:article category='<txp:category/>' break=""status="live" />
</txp:if_individual_article>
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_section>Last edited by code365 (2022-02-13 22:50:05)

Re: How to get children articles to display
You could try
<txp:category_list parent='<txp:category />' exclude='<txp:category />' break="" wraptag="div" class="row">
<txp:category title="1" link="1" />
<txp:article_custom category='<txp:category />' wraptag="ul" limit="999">
<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>
</txp:article_custom></li>
</txp:category_list>Yiannis

Re: How to get children articles to display
I apologized if I was unclear. I have a product template page that I will use for all three steps.
- I want to show the sub category (ex. Desks, Bookcases etc ) with links. Once the link is clicked.
- It will show all the articles for desk.
- Once the article has been clicked on, it will display the whole information of the article from the sub category.

Re: How to get children articles to display
At least two points seem problematic to me:
- You enclose this block in
if_sectiontag, but the category links do not contain the current section. Clicking such a link hence lands you outside the block, so nothing inside it is displayed. Try usingthis_sectionattribute:<txp:category title link this_section />. <txp:article />tag is called (twice) only in individual article context. Missing<txp:else />, perhaps?
