Hi,
I have a question regarding the Unique Article System the theme uses.
Is it possible to have this feature site-wide, instead of only on the homepage or another page?
When I click on an article on my site (www.techplanet.nl) it shows the actual article and in the sidebar a list of other articles. It very often occurs that I see the same article twice on the same page. Exactly the thing I want the Unique Article System to avoid!
Proof:

The sidebar is custom and is using a Block 2.
Can you please let me know how to solve this?
Thanks you 🙂
Hi,
1. It is possible with custom modifications, but it’s not an easy task.
2. The sidebar issue is also complicated, you can put some conditions if (is_post()) to target the block only on the post page and another one to exclude the current post from the query. You have to apply those modifications inside the td_block2.php file – http://screencast.com/t/KKGBJB98GsP7
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi Emil,
Hmm, that is pretty disappointing. Since the theme is advertised as having a Unique Article System. So it actually is only a partial working/implemented system 🙁
Maybe you can put this on the new idea-list for the next version?
Argument: real life newspapers also never have overlapping articles, nowhere. Not just only on the front page. Something to think about….

Hi,
Thank you for your suggestion, I will add this to our issue tracker, but because we have over 140 feature requests we have to pick very carefully what we implement. If more people request this feature we will do it.
Thank you for your understanding
Hi,
I would also like this feature. Totally makes sense.
I had the same issue in Block 4. I put the recommended code after the foreach loop in the inner() function.
....
foreach ($posts as $post) {
if(!is_single($post->ID)) {
....
}BR, Claudio
Hi Garfieldx!
Great that there is another person that requests this feature. (that should have been in there in the first place)
And because Lucian said “If more people request this feature we will do it.”
we can expect the feature soon 🙂
Keep up the great work guys at TagDiv!
Hi,
A simple solution is to exclude the current post from each block that appears on that post page. To do that add this code like here: http://screencast.com/t/TEmTsIpX3Ea5
if (is_single()) {
$wp_query_args['post__not_in'] = array(get_the_ID());
}Thanks for the message!
