List articles of a specific category

[Sparky]

Like the title says: Is there a way to list articles of a specific category, but not while editing the article. I know that there's an content type available for this purpose.

But I mean some kind of replacement tag for the template. My aim is to show article lists from 3 different categories on every page. So i must integrate it somehow into the template. Is there any workaround for this? Thanx guys!

But I mean some kind of replacement tag for the template.

Code: Select all

{RELATED:max_count_links} 
Place the x number of related articles based on keyword I guess? 
eg: {RELATED:5}

My aim is to show article lists from 3 different categories on every page.

Unfortunately, this tag would show 'X' number of articles of a single category (based on keyword) and disallow different categories to exist in the same section

hmm

This would only show related articles to the actual one from all categories based on related keywords search.

I thought of something like {LIST_CAT_ARTICLES:CatID} where CatID is the category id from which the articles should be listed.

Ok. Answering own qustions: In content.func.inc.php I've included:

Code: Select all

// Simple Navigation table of current cat
if( ! ( strpos($content["all"],'{NAV_TABLE_CAT:')===false ) ) {
	$content["all"] = preg_replace('/\{NAV_TABLE_CAT:(\d+)\}/e','nav_table_simple_struct($content["struct"], $1);', $content["all"]);
}

Now it lists subcategories of a given category, but still no articles...lol
But that's a start, isn't it?

If i put each article in different subcategory...

Hi,

If you have found a solution to this problem, please notify me. I want to display article lists of two categories (e.g. Announcements and News) in the homepage.

Anyone else who may have a workaround?
