if_article?
Hi,
It’s possible to diplay conditional content via the if_section or if:category tag. Is there a similar tag to display conditional content for a single article – like: txp:if_article id=“4” ?
Maybe a plugin?
Thanks in advance!

Re: if_article?
The usual way to do that would be to put the content in your article, perhaps in a custom field.

Re: if_article?
What I want to achieve is to be able to highlight an article in a submenu. The same way as can be done using the if_section tag.
Example:
<code>
<txp:if_section name=“about”>
<li id=“active”><a href=”<txp:site_url />about/”>about</a></li>
<txp:else />
<li><a href=”<txp:site_url />about/”>about</a></li>
</txp:if_section>
</code>
I want to do the same with a single article. Of course I could just use a custom field and the if_custom_field tag – I was just wondering whether there was an if_article conditional tag.
Thanks for the help!

Re: if_article?
Maybe you’d want to employ the method I have describe here.
It’s just a tiny splash of <txp:php> adding a class attribute to the “active”/“current” article for a second level navigation menu.

Re: if_article?
Is there any other way to accomplish this? I have three-level nav, and don’t want to use article_custom, however I do want to add an active class to my third level. I can’t use if_cat or if_section…

Re: if_article?
I’ve an if_article_id plugin available Here , but unlike if_category and if_section it needs to be in the article form.

Re: if_article?
hi pedronx,
what are you trying to achive?
I think you can create an article form with some conditional “if_article_id” inside, and then call it from the page template using <txp:article form="myconditionalform" />
In this case, you will need to turn off the “auto-append comment form” in the Site Preferences.
