<txp:if_category> “When the name attribute is not specified, if_category will test whether or not the user is viewing any category.”

Re: if_category with empty category name

What do you mean exactly with ‘default category’? What is it that you want to achieve with those tags?

Re: if_category with empty category name

i have a menu which is a pain to create in textpattern if i may say so. which shows the 5 main categories along with a link to the homepage. i also have a submenu which shows the subcategories of the current main category. but if i’m on the homepage and thus no category is selected the submenu shows the same list of categories as the main menu but i want it to show the subcategories of one of the main categories instead.

bq.<txp:if_category> “When the name attribute is not specified, if_category will test whether or not the user is viewing any category.”

<txp:if_category> do this
</txp:if_category>

will do this be done if a category is active or if there is none?

can i nest if tags??

Re: if_category with empty category name

<txp:if_category>
here your code for when a (any) category page is being viewed
<txp:else />
here your code for the home page
</txp:if_category>
