category1 and category2 together

Gallex · 2023-12-15 12:48:59

i have news frontpage. if i post news into ‘boys’ and ‘girls’ categories, output should look:

…| Kat: Boys, Girls

my code:

<span class=“posted”><txp:posted format=”%d.%m.%Y” /> | Kat: <txp:category1 section=’<txp:section />’ title=“1” link=“1” /></span>

You need to also use txp:category2 and with the help of txp:evaluate or the wraptag=", <+>" attribute (this may be txp4.9 only, I can’t remember), you can show it conditionally with a comma:

<span class="posted">
    <txp:posted format="%d.%m.%Y" /> | 
    Kat: <txp:category1 section='<txp:section />' title="1" link="1" /><txp:evaluate test="category2">, <txp:category2 section='<txp:section />' title="1" link="1" /></txp:evaluate>
</span>

or

<span class="posted">
    <txp:posted format="%d.%m.%Y" /> | 
    Kat: <txp:category1 section='<txp:section />' title="1" link="1" /><txp:category2 section='<txp:section />' title="1" link="1" wraptag=", <+>" />
</span>

There is yet another way:

<txp:category_list categories='<txp:category1 />, <txp:category2 />' break=", " trim>
     <txp:category title link />
</txp:category_list>

All excellent suggestions. That <+> is so handy sometimes.

Oleg’s is what I’d use for simplicty because it also allows you to add label=" | Kat: " labeltag="span" (or whatever), so the label only shows up if there’s at least one category set.

I love these global attributes.
