Upgrading
If you used Articles version 1.2 or earlier, please use the Upgrade button on the settings page to upgrade your data for version 1.3.
Choosing Articles
To add post to your Articles list, simply add a custom field (below the big text field on the post/page edit form) to the post:
Key: article
Value: 1
Showing the Articles List
There are two methods for showing the articles list.
Token Method
The token method is the easier way to show your articles list, and is enabled by default. To show your articles list, simply add the following to a page or post:
###articles###
and your articles list will appear in this place in the page/post.
Template Tag Method
You can always add a template tag to your theme (in a page template perhaps) to show your articles list:
<?php if (function_exists('aka_show_articles')) { aka_show_articles(); } ?><h3>Known Issues</h3>
Token Processing Time
Using the token method to show your Articles list will add very minor additional processing to each post display on your site.
