articles only from certain category

Question: How do i get the article title into the title element (page title) when viewing a single article in a section (a quazy static page)?

You can use conditional tags in the page title. I use something like this:

<code><title><txp:sitename /> -<txp:if_section name=”“><txp:if_category> <txp:category title=“y” /><txp:else /> <txp:site_slogan /></txp:if_category></txp:if_section><txp:if_section name=”“><txp:else /> <txp:section title=“y” /></txp:if_section><txp:if_individual_article> <txp:category title=“y” />: <txp:article limit=“1” form=“title” /></txp:if_individual_article></title>
</code>
In article form ‘title’ is only <txp:title />.

NOTE that you can only use an article tag here if you have set ‘Automatically append comments to articles?’ in admin > preferences to ‘no’.

BTW what does that do? Does it mean that I have to manually call the comment form to the article? It says nothing when you click the littel question mark in the admin area.

That’s right. Read the FAQ: Comment display confusion.

I’m having trouble with this auto appending thing, I have turned it off in order your code to work for the title doggiez, but I get the comments twice even though I have turned auto append off. I use th form “Single” to display the full article and at the end of it I have tried adding:
<pre>< txp:comments_display /></pre>
but it doesn’t display anything (my comments_display form contains all necessary for the comments to appear), thae I have “hardcoded” my comments_display form into the Single form which looks like this:
<pre><!— start comments —>

< txp:if_comments>
< h3 id=“komentari”>Komentari na ovaj članak</h3>
< txp:comments />
< txp:else />
< h3 id=“komentari”>Nema komentara</h3>
< /txp:if_comments>
< txp:comments />

< txp:if_comments_allowed>
< txp:comments_form />
< /txp:if_comments_allowed>

< txp:if_comments_disallowed> < p>
Komentari na ovaj članak su zatvoreni.
< /p>
< /txp:if_comments_disallowed></pre>
and it still it double adds them. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT:

OK, I got it, it needs to go to the page template, not the Single article form.

No, it doesn’t, the single article form is the right place… But you’ve got two <txp:comments /> tags, I think that’s the problem.

Yeah, that was it probably :)

Hey, I got another issue, If I have sort of a two column layout on the home page, one is displaying articles from one section, and the other one is displaying articles from a different setion. I manage category listings in the way thebombsite explained, but how do I do searches?!

Sorry, that’s not enough information for me ;) Please tell us what it is that you want to achieve.

I think he means displaying search results?

If that’s it: place a call to if_search on your “default” page, within that make a call to the article tag with whatever form you want the search results to display like. There’s an example search_results form shipped with Textpattern.

Dragan · 2006-02-17 16:55:31

Yeah, that is what I needed, to display search results. Since I include articles on home page twice I guess TXP doesn’t know what to do.

Guess what I need is a way to tell TXP to use the page archives (where I display full articles) when it fetches search results. Or am I totaly off with my approach here?

Dragan · 2006-02-17 17:24:37

got it working, check it out at http://herbiv.org, it is very crude since I have no time for styling now, I have a concert to go to. :)

Anyway there’s the link to the website all these questions were for, hope you like it and thanx endlessly for all your generous help. :)

Great! Makes me hungry, a pity I can’t read it…
