conditional statement, is this the best way.
Would this work?
I need to get the following to display articles with one of either two forms depending on the category.
<txp:if_category name=“multiple”> <txp:if_individual_article> <txp:article limit=“1” form=“multiple_entry” section=“web” /> <txp:else /> <txp:article limit=“1” form=“blog_entry” status=“sticky” section=“web” /> </txp:if_individual_article> <txp:else /> <txp:if_individual_article> <txp:article limit=“1” form=“single_entry” section=“web” /> <txp:else /> <txp:article limit=“1” form=“single_entry” status=“sticky” section=“web” /> </txp:if_individual_article> </txp:if_category>-thanks in advance

<txp:else />
<txp:article limit="1" form="single_entry" status="sticky" section="web" />
</txp:if_individual_article>
</txp:if_category>It may work or not (i.e. it may output the desired output), although I think there are some “conceptual” errors on your code (by the way, you can use bc. to put formatted code here at the forum, quote my post to see how I did it).
Back to the code.
If I understand what you are trying, the following snippet may be one possible solution
<txp:if_individual_article>
<!-- if we are in an individual article -->
<txp:if_article_category name="multiple">
<!-- and if that article category is "multiple" -->
<txp:article limit="1" form="multiple_entry" section="web" />
<txp:else />
<!-- else (that article category isn't "multiple") -->
<txp:article limit="1" form="single_entry" section="web" />
</txp:if_article_category>
<txp:else />
<!-- if we aren't in an individual article, we are in an article list -->
<txp:article limit="1" form="blog_entry" status="sticky" section="web" />
</txp:if_individual_article>Offline
