Correct way to show all Article content on container page??

I figured out this works well for a list of articles on the home page:

<h2 class="centerthis">Commentary</h2>
[[Articles? &container=`ID of Articles Container` &tpl=`board.ArticleRowTpl`]]
[[+articles]]
[[+paging]]

What I don't understand is how to make the Articles Container page show ALL the text of each article.

*What* is being called by [[+articles]] that I must modify to have my desired Articles display on the container page??

Thank you, Tom

I figured out (thanks to this thread), that you can actually just use getResources for Articles, since they are normal resources.

The only important thing to have in mind here, is that Articles have hidemenu set to 1, so you have to include

&showHidden=`1`

in your getResources call to actually show something.

You can use a call like this for example:

[[!getResources?
  &tpl=`myArticlesRowTpl`
  &parents=`1234`
  &showHidden=`1`
  &includeContent=`1`
  &includeTVs=`1`
  &processTVs=`1`
  &tvPrefix=``
]]

Where 1234 is the ID of your articles container. This would allow you to work with Articles resources exactly as you would normally do it, for example, for a widget on your home page. [ed. note: boundaryfunctions last edited this post 12 years, 3 months ago.]

If you want to see all the content, make sure the Tpl chunk has a content tag:

[[+content]]

All the above worked for me.

I did this on the start page where I wanted to show two lists of articles:

[[!getResources?
  &tpl=`board.ArticleSummaryTpl`
  &parents=`69`
  &showHidden=`1`
  &includeContent=`1`
  &includeTVs=`1`
  &processTVs=`1`
  &tvPrefix=``
]]

board.ArticleSummaryTpl is the same as sample.ArticleRowTpl, with site-specific changes plus substituting text 'Read more' for the [[%articles.read_more]] lexicon item.

Thank you, Tom
