It’s a patch that makes it harder for TXP to switch to unlimited categories… if that is still a goal.

My thoughts exactly.

Re: category1 & category2 attributes for article_custom tag

am not sure if I understand “unlimited categories” correctly but can that be done with a wildcard perhaps? I really like the idea of a boolean category tag. With my limited understanding of TXP and SQL queries I could imagine the following is doable.

any category:
category=“.

only “this” category
category=“this”

only “this”, “that” and “those” categories
category=“this,that,those”

only “this”, “that” and “those” categories but not “these”
category=“this,that,those,-these”

any category but “that”
category=“.,-that”

comma separates categories
wildcard could maybe be simplified with * only. Don’t know about the implications of this.

Hope this helps more than that it confuses you :-D
Good luck and thanks for all the fanastic work that has been done with TXP

Re: category1 & category2 attributes for article_custom tag

Hi,

does “category2” really work properly?

I tried to get rid of the link and tried
<txp:category2 link="0">and<txp:category2 title="1" link="0" /></txp:category2>

I have link="0" in there two times but I also already tried to put only in the first position and only in the last.
But that doesn’t work, the category name is still a clickable link (I just want it as plain text with the “and” before.

Re: category1 & category2 attributes for article_custom tag

When used as a container tag it always turns whatever is contained into a link. So all you need to do is remove the container.

Re: category1 & category2 attributes for article_custom tag

Ah ok, thank you. (I thought I could turn it off, because textbook gives me the “link”-attribute)

But one little thing still is: I need this “and” only if an article appears in two categories. I believe I need an “if-statement” or something to do this…but I was happy (i’m not a txp-pro) to find the “category2”-container which can do that except that I don’t want it as a link.
(For the first “category1” I already have it as just <txp:category1 />)

See if_article_category.

It is mentioned on the Textbook page:

When used as a containing tag, it will turn the contents into a link to that category.

but I agree it can easily be overlooked. So I added a note in the attribute’s description. Thanks for pointing it out!

Re: category1 & category2 attributes for article_custom tag

In 4.6 <txp:article(_custom) /> accepts match attribute:

<txp:article_custom category="cats,dogs" match="Category1" ... />

with match="Category1,Category2" by default.
