    Hello all,

    how is the syntax for list_playlist_articles ?

    I want to create a list like this:

    {{ list_playlist_articles name="Front page" length="1" ignore_issue="false" ignore_section="true" }}

    ,though I get all playlist_articles of current issue but all sections.

    Best regards, and thanks for help,

    Thomas.

    Hi Thomas,

    A playlist does not care about issues or sections, the purpose of creating playlists is to allow users to create a list with some specific articles. When you build the playlist you search within all articles and drag&drop to the playlist.

    Having that in mind, {{ list_playlist_articles name="<playlist name>" }} or {{ list_playlist_article id="<playlist id>" }} gives you always all articles you have placed in the playlist, so there is no need for constraints.

    Hope this helps !

    All Best,

    Ah, ok, but how can I create a playlist?
    Could you please give me the Breadcrumb to get there?

    I looked as well in http://booki.flossmanuals.net/newscoop3WADR_en/building-playlists/

    but I only want to put some articles of different issues and different sections grouped together in a playlist.
    E.g. "special featured articles", or how to create a playlist named "articles_of_thomas".

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Oh sorry, I got it - I didnt find it in localized version :-(

    Of course a playlist can be created via "Content> Create Featured Article List".

    Best regards!

    Hi Thomas,

    That copy of the book you linked to is out of date, please see the end of this chapter for details of Featured Article Lists:
