Article Mgr Code Snippets

Hi guys,
Is there a resource library of all the code extras that can be used for Article Mgr?
It would be handy to have immediate access to such a library with a basic explanation of where and how it can be used.
As I read through others posts I find things I never even realised existed.
I am starting my own library here:
i.e. $cat_name$ | $cat_name_he$ | $cat_breadcrumb$ | $url_index$#$art_num$ | $detail_link$ | $art_name$ | $cat_image_je$
Best Wishes,
Adman

Hi Adam.
Thanks for posting!
All of the most common placeholders (as we call them) are listed in our online documentation. It’s broken down by template so just check out the template you are working on to see what placeholders are available. Here’s a link:
http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/articlemanager/admin/index.html
If you are trying to get something specific going, give me a few details and I’ll see if there are any extra placeholders you could try using.
Keep me up to date with how you are making out  .

Hi Ross,
Thankyou for the response. I will take a look at the online documentation.
I am now trying to get article content to appear on a category page. I have setup a spare field (art_field2) as a WYSIWYG textarea to accept content and wish for the content to appear where the latest headlines traditionally would appear in the right column. Is this at all possible?

Hi Adam.
Thanks for getting back in touch!
What I would do here is actually just make some changes to the Headlines template so that it displays the content of art_field2. The way you do that is by opening the headlines_bycat.html template and remove everything except the templatecells.
Then, just add $art_field2$ to each of the 4 main templatecells and that should be it. This of course, is going to be a really basic setup but it’s better to start with that. One the content is actually coming up, you can edit the same template and start to format it nicer.
How does that sound? Give it a shot and let me know how you make out .

Hi Ross,
Your solution sounds like a plan.
(Why didn't I think of that!)
Cheers,
Adam

Hi Ross,
Further to my exclamations of joy, I am already using the 'headlines_bycat.html' file to create a footer nav bar that displays all the categories horizontally.
Perhaps you have another solution to my original query of displaying article content in a category (using art_field2) or a solution to presenting all the categories as a secondary footer nav?
Cheers,
Adman

Hi again Adam.
I am actually still on the headlines file wave length so lets try another one like it. What I am thinking now is that there is a second headlines file that you can use. It’s the one that usually appears on the individual article pages and displays the most recent articles from the current category. On your main index page it will be the most recent articles from all categories.
The template for that one is in a folder called headlines which you’ll find in the templates folder. The template itself is pretty much the same as the other one I had suggested so the same changes can be made to it.
Have a look at that and let me know what you think .
