Article List filtered by both category and section

WizardS · 2006-02-17 01:21:03

Hi!

I have a problem that does not seem to be as trvial as I initially thought.

I want to display a list of all articles of a section’s category (so to say filter both section and category based on the active ones).

Is there a plugin to do so?

I did not find anything on the web or in the forum!

Tanks a lot!

Your question is not clear at all.

There is. Check the resources site (“Plugins and more”), “by category”, and the category “section/category”. Link above.

Hi,

Thanks for your answers.

Sorry if I did not make myself clear:
I use textpattern as a cms for static pages.
I have some sections as main navigation points like “section 1, section 2”
I then abuse categories to generate sub levels like “subsection 1_1 and subsection 1_2 or subsection 2_1 and Subsection 2_2”.
I now want to display a list of all articles that are in section x and in subsection x_y.
@mary: I just found plugins for displaying category lists of a certain section like cbs_category_list, but not article lists of both a specific category and section (the current ones).

Specific category and section? Use a built-in tag: article_custom. Or am I still misunderstanding what you’re after?

This is a quite good hint.

I was not aware of article_custom being able of doing this.

Thank you!

Nevertheless, is there a possibility to tell this tag to use current category and section or do you have to do this manually?

Uh, current category and section would be what the article tag already does…

WizardS · 2006-02-18 08:58:57

I think you get me wrong from the beginning! Or I did not express myself clearly.

I do not want to get a list of article texts but a navigation style list with just the names of the articles (titles) as links, like the rdt_dynamenus article menu.
This one sure is great (but it cannot filter by categories, just by sections).

Thanks a lot nevertheless!

You customize your article form, that’s all. i.e:

page

<ul>
<txp:article form="article_list" />
</ul>

article_list

<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>
