How I Use Sections, Pages and Forms

Jul 30, 06:18 PM - and

Even though I tested out all my codes yesterday to make sure they worked before I posted them I messed up with the full secondary_default page. I said to use:

<txp:else />
<txp:article form="secondary"/>

However, as I found out today thanks to TWD I found out that it stopped working and the pages broke. Removing the offending code will fix the problem immediately. My apologies for the mistake.

This originally started out as a comment, but it quickly got out of control so I thought it best to bring over here. I’m going to show you how I set up my site using Pages, Forms and Sections.

However, making static pages is quite a hassle and I simply do not have the time at the moment to go through this long process of making article forms link to page templates and making page templates link to sections. sigh The preview-before-submitting rule may also be a bit confusing for some visitors..
Still Not Having Any Luck

This is by no means an attempt to get Enzo to switch over to Textpattern, that’s completely up to him. His post just inspired me to finally write up a post on how I manage my sections, pages and forms. I hope that this helps you decide on a blogging system, Enzo.

    It is no secret that I am a Textpattern fangirl, I have been a Textpattern fangirl since, oh well since August. I love it for its easy to grab tags and template system. That said, Textpattern is not for everyone, particularly if you do not design your own blog and prefer to download themes.

    Installing a Textpattern theme is easy enough to do, but it is a far cry from the upload’n’activate it system Wordpress uses. However, if you are like me and enjoy installing blogging platforms just to modify them then you might actually like Textpattern, particularly if you dislike Wordpress.

    I switched to Textpattern after becoming frustrated with EECore and disgusted by Wordpress, I have not looked back since. I cannot imagine being without pages and forms, nor without Textile.

    It is a lovely system that is simple to use and geared more towards people who want a hands on experience, whereas Wordpress holds your hand and throws bloated bits and pieces at you in an attempt to make your website as effortless as they possibly can.

    This is geared towards newbies. The Alphabetical Tag Listing was quite helpful and I picked it up quickly just tinkering. But there are some people who need to see real time examples before they go about reading up on everything, so if that is you then this is for you.
