[SOLVED] linklists

colak · 2018-10-03 08:38:25

Is there a way to add an and just before the final entry in linklists?

ie.

<txp:linklist break=", " wraptag="p" category="thanks"><a rel="external" href="<txp:link_url />"><txp:link_name /></a></txp:linklist>

I am trying to make the above to parse like

Bloke, Oleg, Phil, ruud, and wet

and not

Bloke, Oleg, Phil, ruud, wet

Try using txp:if_last_link and break="":

<txp:linklist break="" wraptag="p" category="thanks"><a rel="external" href="<txp:link_url />"><txp:link_name /></a><txp:if_last_link> and <txp:else/>, </txp:if_last_link></txp:linklist>

Hi Julian

This returns:

Bloke, Oleg, Phil, ruud, wet and

but this one works… and includes the Oxford comma:)

<txp:linklist break="" wraptag="p" break", " category="thanks">
<txp:if_last_link>and </txp:if_last_link><a rel="external" href="<txp:link_url />"><txp:link_name /></a>
</txp:linklist>

You can do it with CSS:

a+a::before { content: ', ' }
a+a:last-child::before { content: ' and ' }

Of course you’re right.

Or this if you don’t want the oxford comma:

<txp:linklist break="" wraptag="p" category="thanks"><txp:if_last_link> and </txp:if_last_link><a rel="external" href="<txp:link_url />"><txp:link_name /></a><txp:if_last_link><txp:else/>, </txp:if_last_link></txp:linklist>

Maybe <txp:if_last_link not>, </txp:if_last_link> also works for the second instance of the tag.

Hi Julian, Thanks!!! but the Oxford comma is good. The code might be of use to others though.

Just make sure that the link list contains more than one link, otherwise you’ll get and wet.

Hi Oleg,
Indeed. I use it under the vimeo GDPR warning here and in many other pages. That is, I only use it when there is more than one video in the list. The snippet I use is here.
