Link to a specific article by ID

I’m trying to create a jump menu that will link to specific articles.

I’m using the Jump-menu tips Mary has supplied
http://textpattern.org/tips/325/section-and-category-pull-down-menus

Basically I ‘m looking for a way to output a specific article by its ID. I’m using <txp:article_id> to get the ID…I just don’t know how to place that in a tag that will output just one specific article.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Link to a specific article by ID

If you have the ID you can call a specific article with <code><txp:article_custom id=“4” /></code>, say, to return article number 4.

Re: Link to a specific article by ID

Rsilletti,

Thanks so much for the reply. That’s what I’d been trying…and I know realize there was a small error in my PHP what was adding in an extra ( “ ) before the ID number. Somehow I just kept missing it.

Thanks Again.

Cheers,
Tom
