Fixed: Using variables

I’m trying to create a tab that appears if I’m visiting the 1st-3rd-year or sports section of my website. If I’m not visiting either of those sections the tab should just be a plain text link instead.

	<txp:if_section name="1st-3rd-year">
		<!-- Display 1st-3rd Year tab -->
		<li class="active"><a href="<txp:site_url />1st-3rd-years-school-routine">1st-3rd Year</a></li>
		<txp:else />
		<txp:if_variable name="sports" value="1st-3rd-year">
			<!-- do nothing -->
			<txp:else />
			<!-- display the 1st-3rd year link -->
			<li><a href="<txp:site_url />1st-3rd-years-school-routine">1st-3rd Year</a></li>	
		</txp:if_variable>
	</txp:if_section>
	<txp:if_section name="sports">
		<txp:adi_gps name="sports" quiet="1" />
		<txp:if_variable name="sports" value="1st-3rd-year">
			<li class="active"><a href="<txp:site_url />1st-3rd-years-school-routine">1st-3rd Year</a></li>
		</txp:if_variable>
	</txp:if_section>

The problems I’m getting is that Textpattern displays a plain text link to the 1st-3rd-year section next to the 1st-3rd-year active tag I realise that this caused by:

<txp:else />
	<!-- display the 1st-3rd year link -->
	<li><a href="<txp:site_url />1st-3rd-years-school-routine">1st-3rd Year</a></li>	

which is why I was trying to use a second conditional statement to stop it from happening.

Re: Fixed: Using variables

Turns out it was probably nothing to do with nested using nested <txp:else />@ or variables and more to do with how I was using <txp:if_section> I’ve fixed the code by doing the following.

<txp:if_section name="1st-3rd-year">	
		<!-- Display 1st-3rd Year tab -->
		<li class="active"><a href="<txp:site_url />1st-3rd-years-school-routine">1st-3rd Year</a></li>
		<txp:else />
		<txp:if_variable name="sports" value="1st-3rd-year">
			<!-- do nothing -->
		</txp:if_variable>
	</txp:if_section>
	<txp:if_section name="sports, 1st-3rd-year">
		<!-- do nothing -->	
		<txp:else />
		<li><a href="<txp:site_url />1st-3rd-years-school-routine">1st-3rd Year</a></li>
	</txp:if_section>
	<txp:if_section name="sports">
		<txp:adi_gps name="sports" quiet="1" />
		<txp:if_variable name="sports" value="1st-3rd-year">
			<li class="active"><a href="<txp:site_url />1st-3rd-years-school-routine">1st-3rd Year</a></li>
		</txp:if_variable>
	</txp:if_section>
