create a list of articles based on the category of the open article
the normal recent articles didn’t do what i want so i added
<pre>
<code> if($pretext[“c”]){
$category = $pretext[“c”];
}
</code>
</pre>
and it was fine except that the list doesn’t check what kind of category the article is.
is there a way like <code>$pretext[“c”]</code> to get the category of an open article?

Hey Pietertje,
I have no idea, but I’m pretty sure the plugin rss_suparchive_bycat would have something you could be inspired from, as it has the ability to do this. Maybe it’s this part?
<code>if ($useartcat1 || $useartcat2 || $useartcats) { $ca = safe_row(‘category1, category2’, ‘textpattern’, ‘id=’.$id); extract($ca);</code>
Note in the docs it says:
useartcats
If an article id is in the current page scope, the listing will be filtered by Category1 or Category2 of that article. Can be used for a related articles listing.
HTH
