0ne article to always be displayed before the others

Brodex · 2025-10-03 19:34:14

Hello, I don’t have much experience or knowledge, so I’ll ask here :)
I would like one article (id=2) to always be displayed before the others.

Here is the beginning of the code that probably needs to be changed:

<txp:if_article_list>
   <h1 itemprop="name"><txp:section title /></h1>
        <txp:article class="article-list" form="article_listing" limit="10" wraptag="ul" />

I will be grateful

If you set your article with id#2 to Sticky status, you can “glue” it to the top of your article lists.

Depending on the way your pages and forms are laid out, you can either pull it out separately:

<txp:hide>Display sticky article</txp:hide>
<txp:article status="sticky" form="article_listing" />
...
<txp:hide>Display regular articles</txp:hide>
<txp:article form="article_listing" />

Or pull it out with your live articles, and it’ll be shown first:

<txp:article status form="article_listing" />

Hope that helps.

It’s not working 100% for me. But I figured out that all I need to do is change the article’s publication date/time. Thanks for the help anyway.

Yeah, if your article tag is sorted by date, that also works. Glad you found a solution.

I’m just learning and I must admit that I’m impressed with textpattern ;)

<txp:output_form form="priorytet_art" />

<txp:article id="3" form="article_listing" />

And that’s it.

That’s great to hear.

Forgot to welcome you earlier, sorry… so, welcome aboard. Great to have you here. The docs cover most stuff (and will be undergoing some changes when 4.9.0 is released) and the tags should help if you ever wonder “can I do this in Textpattern?”

Otherwise, play around, and if there’s anything we can help with, please ask here.

Out of curiosity, is that true: if you use a valueless status attribute, does it always do sticky before live, or according to sort order?

Actually, you might be right because default sort is Posted desc. I thought it did status first and then Posted desc, but maybe it doesn’t.
