Re: [campsite-support] Repeat Articles through issues
  • I believe you look at the problem from the wrong angle:
    Try to create first, unused issue containing static articles
    than next issue should be the newspaper routine
    and from templates in menu you can have link or informations related to
    the first issue simply by setting the first issue in
    environment.

    this might help you.

    However if the case is different and you simply wish to list all
    articles in section sport regardless on issue, then simply use the same
    directive as above and turn issue off.
    Than create the list.

    I have created a new issue (number 5)... but when I try to list the sections in the new issue it gives me the sections for the current issue (not for issue 5).

    here's what I'm doing







  • be sure the publication is published.
    I use the same code and it works on my site.

  • that seems to work.

    However, if I have two issues Published, how do I know which one is the current issue. All the code I use to point to the current issue is now pointed to this issue.
  • Well, it is easy. I use the first issue for static pages and each next
    issue is safely the current one.
    All templates work with current issue, only sometimes I localy change
    the environment to point to the first one. Display info from the first
    one and endlocal will switch me back to current.

    The other solution is to put static info to different publication as in
    my mediaturtle.com site. I use www.mediaturtle.com for static and
    news.mediaturtle.com for news info. Than my web simply works on the
    issue you select (the current or select the news issue from archive)
    however the static info from other publication is all the time the same.

  • Okay, makes sense.

    Now, is there a way to change the issue numbers? I am stuck with the static content as 5, and the current dynamic issue as 2 (so it shows the static content as current issue).

    Thanks for all the help.
  • set the static issue number to 1.
    Current uses the highest issue number.

  • yes. But how do I change the issue number? there is no option in configuration.
  • If you create the issue, you enter the issue number
    So the best is to create new issue and move articles
