how to apply if_first_article to articl_custom ?

is it possible to apply the <txp:if_first_article> to the <txp:article_custom ...> area ?

i tried this to default form, but not works for me:

<txp:article_custom category='news'>
    <txp:if_first_article><ul></txp:if_first_article>
         <li><txp:title /></li>
    <txp:if_last_article></ul></txp:if_last_article>
</txp:article_custom>

I think this might be a simpler solution:

<ul>
<txp:article_custom category='news'>
         <li><txp:title /></li>
</txp:article_custom>
</ul>

Your code, raminrahimi, should work. Its advantage is when “news” doesn’t have an article, so Textpattern doesn’t output an empty <ul>.

Is it possible that something is wrong in the context where you use your code block?

Simpler still:

<txp:article_custom category="news" wraptag="ul" break="li">
  <txp:title />
</txp:article_custom>

but I guess your actual situation is more complex. Your logic looks fine and if_first_article and if_last_article do work with txp:article_custom. Perhaps check the rest of your code within your tags carefully to see if there are any anamolies that might be interfering with the logic.

Thank you, Jakob. You have the best solution and I should have caught that.
