article_custom: entry for <<no category assigned>> ??
Hello everyone,
when i use category assignments with an article_custom tag:
Can i assign a term to describe, that no category has been assigned?
like
<txp:article_custom category=”<no category assigned>” />
maybe even on a cat1 or cat2 base?
Both category=”“ or category=“default” only lead to errors here.
Thank you for any hints!

A workaround:
<txp:article_custom>
<txp:if_article_category>
// content here
</txp:if_article_category>
</txp:article_custom>Don’t know if it will slow things down if you have many articles though.

Interesting workaround.
How would i go with this, when there’s both assigned and non-assigned categories to be treated and how could i make a disticntion between set or unset cat1 and cat2?
Thank you for any hint in advance!

You can select by cat1 and 2 like this:
<txp:if_article_category number="1">: if category1 has a (any) value (if_article_category)
But what I actually meant to say in my previous post (I posted too hastily) is this:
<txp:article_custom>
<txp:if_article_category>
// article has a category assigned
<txp:else />
// no category assigned
</txp:if_article_category>
</txp:article_custom>and you can use the number attribute to check for just category 1 or 2.
