How to tell if I am on first article listing page
I’m just wondering if there is a smart way to use the snappy new txp:if_request to tell whether I am on a first listing page (pg=1). May have answered my question with the following, which seems to work. Is there a simpler way to handle this? 4AM brain fog…
<txp:if_request name="pg" type="get" match="pattern" value="[0-9]">
I'm on page 2 or more (as page 1 has no "pg" query)
<txp:else />
I'm on page 1
</txp:if_request>

Yes, perfect. And if you only want to know if you’re on the first page (and don’t care about the rest) then you can use not:
<txp:if_request name="pg" type="get" match="pattern" not value="[0-9]">
I'm on page 1

Nice, havent seen txp:if_request!
If we can have a solution to affect the tested variable to a txp:variable we can get rid of adi_gps plugin!
Cheers.

We do! You can use txp:page_url to grab any variable. Even remap it to other variable names in some tags. Or use tags-in attributes to import a URL var directly into a variable. See the examples on the docs site for the page_url and txp:variable tag.

Yes – even simpler with NOT. I like this!

And even simpler than simple:
<txp:if_request not name="pg" type="get">
I'm on page 1
