Paging working with 4.0.1?

Okay, I can’t seem to get <code><txp:older> or <txp:newer></code> working with article_custom. Is anybody else having this issue?

This is the intended and wanted behaviour. Otherwise it would severely limit the usefulness of article-custom.

Okay. But this did work before, in previous pre-release versions, no?

No, article_custom has always worked that way. Think of article_custom as a beefed-up recent_articles.

Re: Paging working with 4.0.1?

The funny — or possibly tragic — thing, Alex is that I was abusing article_custom really badly this weekend. The reason I wanted to use it in this case was for a “date-based” archive using a “dateaware” attribute that I added to doArticles (a mod).

The tragiocomedy was played out when I realized that the article tag was already “date aware” because your month variable was available (via ?month=yyyy-mm-dd) to it. The only other thing that is needed is to have the month variable added for paging in the taghandlers.php “newer” and “older” functions. I also emailed Sencer regarding this and my previous “brilliant solution” who patiently suggested that I may be reckless but not necessarily an idiot. Anyway, you can follow the hilarity here: http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=79583#p79583

Hopefully, I can save some other poor soul the trouble that I went through. Let me know if the “newer/older” function fix is doable.

Thanks,

Matt
