Article Highlights

I'm interested in adding a checkbox datatype to the Article class to
allow me to mark Articles to be highlighted (displayed on the
front page). I currently have Articles organized in different folders
and each folder represents a channel. Is it possible to run a loop
that goes through all Articles and collects only the Articles that
are highlighted and displays those articles with the name of the
folder (channel) in which that Article resides. What is the best way
to do this? I know that I can just create the Article in the appropiate
folder then create another location pointing to a highlights folder
where I can display those Articles.

Thanks,
Lance

If all folders are under one umbrella folder, you can just use a fetch to grab all articles (look in the docs for the depth parameter, and set it to 0 and include only article class objects). You cannot fetch and specifiy conditions on attribute values as a parameter. This needs to be done in a loop in your template where you can use something like

{cache-block key="highlights"}
{let $array_from_fetch = fetch(.....)}
{section name= ... loop=$array_from_fetch}
{section show=eq($:item.$node.datamap.attribute_name,"checked value") }
{*show what you need*}

{/section}
{/section}
{/cache-block}

Look in the contributed docs on how to get the parent node of this article and assemble the path to it and how to display the structure of variables (to find out the right syntax). You may also use $node.url_alias which shows the path in a pretty form. The sitemap template in design/standard/templates/node/view may also give some more hints

use the {cacheblock} for performance if you have a busy site and get the contributed clearcache.sh script to regularly clear the cache so things remain up to date
