Hi Scott,

There seems to be a typo in the code you suggest pasting into the functions.php above:

if ($item->group == $group->id) {
array_push($these, $item);
}

should be

if ($item->groups == $group->id) {
array_push($these, $item);
}

The “group” attribute doesn’t exist in the item, only “groups”.

Great tutorial, just got my articles printing as if they were links, now playing with actual display. So much fun!

I should take this to the forum.
So everything that I want to include that is NOT necessarily changeable content, but rather various part of page construction, should have its own folder in fragments and the content in ‘view’ or [anyothername].php

Ok got that, moving on to page content, thank you Scott for your time

Sorry if it is not clear. There are two pieces to the fragment, the fragment folder, and the fragment file. So if your fragment is a “top-nav”, create a folder named “top-nav” inside the data/skins/your_skin/fragments/ directory:

data/skins/your_skin/fragments/top-nav/

Then, inside the top-nav directly, create a PHP file. You indicated you named your file “top-nav.php”. That is fine so you would have:

data/skins/your_skin/fragments/top-nav/top-nav.php

Then in your code, add this:

It’s important to note that this is:

This is just not clear. It talks about two pages. no mention if they are just examples. So I can only use these two pages? I get an error when installing a new fragment andmy uploaded fragment in the fragments folder wont load into the page.

I am using:

For a top-nav.php file in the fragments folder. I have also tried the curly braket version of the tag.

I think this tutorial needs a little more explanation (read hand-holding). Perhaps use XYZ.php file names to avoid confusion?

You insert fragments into the HTML template. You do this by opening your template in an HTML editor and adding the fragment token directly into the HTML. There is no admin GUI for doing this (unless you do it via the Skins HTML editor).

Slight typo:
“in the next section of the code, we are getting all of the published groups, by calling get_published (from functions.php) with the output of the xmlHandler.”

The sentence starts with ‘in’ instead of ‘In’

Good document, I do need to freshen up on my php though.
