Re: if_article_image

Polished this idea up a little and added the capability to select for specific image numbers. Given a little testing I’ll submit a patch for crockery for it.

Re: if_article_image

I think that a more generic tag would be better… Something like chh_if_data. I would push for something like <txp:if_empty>do this<txp:else />do that</txp:if_empty>

My proposed tag could be context sensitive and could eventually replace if_excerpt, if_comments etc. If there are other people who agree with this it would be good to hear what fields should the new tag target.

Re: if_article_image

How would you handle nested situations where content of different types were being looked for within one set of tags. Perhaps a specific type attribute?

Re: if_article_image

Rick… You are right… replacing the tags I mentioned above might result in very confusing situations… yet again check the example below…

I’m by no means saying that i have thought it through, nor am I asking the developers to include it. I mentioned it here for discussion purposes

How I could see it working could be something like…

<txp:if_category name="news"><txp:if_empty>no news<txp:/else><txp:excerpt /></txp:if_empty></txp:if_category>

or

<txp:if_section name="news"><txp:if_empty><txp:category name="news"><txp:else />no news</txp:if_empty></txp:if_section>

As I said… here only to discuss:)

Re: if_article_image

ras_if_article_image_v4.1.0 works fine.

Re: if_article_image

colak – I’m just here casting about for ideas, its why I see the possible conflicts. Centralizing the handling of TXP’s differing types of content is an issue that has been discussed before, but not really from a tag approach. Definitely food for thought.

thanks Markus – After looking at the crockery branch it seems an if_article_image tag is already in core, the difference with ras_if_article_image is the choice of selecting by image number.

Re: if_article_image

Hi Rick,

Just discovered this plugin. Is it possible to do something like this:

<txp:ras_if_article_image image_number="more than one image">
Selected content if true
<txp:else />
Selected content if false (optional)
</txp:ras_if_article_image>

What I’d like to do is check for the existence of more than one image in the article image field – the idea is that if there is more than one image, show a photo gallery, if only one image, then we don’t need the gallery.

Re: if_article_image

Hi Jonathan,

ras_if_article_image can be coded to use a comma delimited list for the image_number attribute. Your description of what you would like is a little cryptic. Are you looking for multiple images assigned to a single article, or do you want the conditional to compare each assigned article image to an attribute list? The later is easy to code if can use it.

ras_if_article_image_v4.0.7.dev
