exclude article

Hello,
How I exclude article with id in :

<txp:article class=“article-list” form=“article_listing” limit=“10” wraptag=“ul” />

this is from the demo that comes with textpattern installation.
also, I like to add like first 100 characters from the article body below the title, with read more.

Thank you

Re: exclude article

Hello, welcome to the forum.

To exclude some articles, pass their ids to exclude attribute:

<txp:article exclude="1,2,3" class="article-list" form="article_listing" limit="10" wraptag="ul" />

To truncate the article body, avoiding cutting inside a word, if possible:

<txp:body  trim="/(?<=^.{95})(\w{0,5})[\s\w].+$/" replace='$1... <txp:permlink>Read more</txp:permlink>' />

Hope it helps.

Re: exclude article

the exclude worked, but the body for some reason not showing

<txp:article exclude="1,6" class="article-list" form="article_listing" limit="10" wraptag="ul" >  
                       <txp:body trim="/(?<=^.{95})(\w{0,5})[\s\w].+$/" replace='$1... <txp:permlink>Read more</txp:permlink>' />   
                       </txp:article>

Thank you

You should probably remove form attribute?

Edit: Also remove eventual HTML tags first to avoid broken markup:

<txp:body escape="tags" ... />

Re: exclude article

… And maybe the link <txp:permlink>Read more</txp:permlink> have to be placed outside the <txp:body /> tag (otherwise, the link tag is escaped).

Re: exclude article

Hello,

Thank you all for your suggestions, none of above worked, as I said the exclude part worked,
but list of articles title (or header) with first 100-150 characters with read me didn’t work, will be nice if some post real working example.
needed example: list of all articles (titles) with ability to exclude articles by ids, with h1 and then show part of the body first 100-150 characters with read more link.

Thank you for any help I get

Re: exclude article

I had no luck with regex variant either in txp 4.8.8, though the regex does work very nicely (see here).

@lindabb, See this post (and the thread above it) for another way that does currently work, though it’s not quite as neat because it can stop mid-word:

<txp:evaluate query='substring("<txp:body escape="tags" />", 1, 150)' escape="trim" /><txp:evaluate query='string-length("<txp:body escape="tags" />" > 150)'>…</txp:evaluate>
<txp:permlink>Read more</txp:permlink>

Re: exclude article

Sorry, we need a s modifier here, to match multiline bodies:

<txp:hide process="1" trim="/^\s*(.{95}\w*)\b.+$/s" replace='$1... <txp:permlink>Read more</txp:permlink>'>
    <txp:body escape="tags" />
</txp:hide>

And thanks to Pat64 for the escape fix.

Re: exclude article

Thank you all for all suggestions,
But Jakob’s solution worked very well, million stars!
BTW: this is the best active forum for open source CMS.
I’m just 2 weeks with textpattern I learned a lot.

Here is final working title with working first 150 characters with read more:

<txp:article exclude="1" class="article-list"  limit="20" wraptag="ul" > 

    <h3><txp:title /></h3>

    <txp:evaluate query='substring("<txp:body escape="tags" />", 1, 150)' escape="trim" /><txp:evaluate    query='string-length("<txp:body escape="tags" />" > 150)'>…</txp:evaluate>
<txp:permlink>Read more</txp:permlink> <br>


          </txp:article>

Thank you all for your time and support.

Re: exclude article

Note: the solution provided by etc is much better because the Regex in use doesn’t strip letters into the final word. A kind of good programming lesson as always.
