Displaying a List of Category Specific Articles Within an Article
|
Can't Post
|
|
Hello,
In my old version of AM i would publish an article in 'Category 1' and when the article was viewed, there was a list of articles for that category at the bottom.
This was done by inserting the following code:
<?php include("/home/yyyyyyy/public_html/main/$file_headlines$"); ?>
The upgrade converted this line to say:
<?php include("/home/yyyyyyy/public_html/main/$published.categoryHeadlines.filename$"); ?>
------
I have changed the publish directory for the index pages to main_index and my articles are currently publishing as follows:
http://www.mysite.com/artman2/publish/CATEGORY1/articlename.php
Could you please help me to come up with the correct syntax for displaying article lists?
Also, I used to have a file called "headlines_plus.htm" where i would code up how i wanted the headlines to display.
Is there a similar file I need to update in AM 2?
Thanks.
LC

Thanks for posting, LostCoder!
I think this will be a quick fix for you. I suspect the problem is simply that the files you're trying to include aren't in the same location that they were before. So the hard-coded directory in your PHP includes isn't working.
Replace this include:
<?php include("/home/yyyyyyy/public_html/main/$published.categoryHeadlines.filename$"); ?>
With this one:
<?php include("$published.categoryHeadlines.filepath$"); ?>
And then republish your articlePages.
I hope that helps, let us know if you need any further assistance!

Good deal -- works like a champ.
Thanks for the assistance.
As a side note for other would-be article list publishers ---
The code Theo posted:
<?php include("$published.categoryHeadlines.filepath$"); ?>
basically tells the page to go to the "categoryHeadlines" place holder set name at 'Admin > Publishing'
This utilizes the 'categoryHeadlines.html' file located in cgi-bin/artman2/templates/articlelists directory.
So, to change the display of your article list, just change around the look and feel in the aforementioned .html file.
Or, you can always create a new html file called whatever you want and set it up as needed. Just remember to change the Template under the placeholder set name.
--wow -- i like the new AM :)
Thanks Theo.
