<txp: if_author ...
Can anyone see why this code would always execute the else statement?
My real name is “Geoff Forster”. I write all the articles at the moment and don’t need my name all over the site.
If in the future if I have more authors …
<txp:if_author name=“Geoff Forster” >
<p> </p>
<txp:else />
<p class=“verdanagreen12”>Written by <txp:author link=“0”/></p>
</txp:if_author>
Thanks
Geoff

I think if_author uses the login name not real name. Might be wrong, but try it.

Hi Bloke,
No I had tried it.
Tried again and failed.
Thanks

Hi Geoff
- I take it that you are using the code in an article form right?
- If you are the only author for now, why don’t you just delete the code?
- When you get new authors then your name will be needed and you can insert the appropriate code then

Re: <txp: if_author ...
You are misinterpreting the purpose of this tag. From Textbook:
The tag will execute the contained statement if the called page is the result of a article search by a specific author`s name.
I.e. <txp:if_author> will evaluate whether your URL looks something like http://example.com/author/joe
<txp:if_article_author> might be the tag your are looking for.

Thanks Wet,
You are quite correct and it worked first time.
- Bloke – it is your ‘Log In’ name which you use.
Thanks for all your help
