Re: Modify list of Recent article depending on chosen category
You can’t nest the txp:if_category tags. So what you need is something like this:
<code>
<txp:if_category name=”“>
<txp:else />
<txp:recent_articles label=”“ limit=“30” break=“br” wraptag=“p” />
</txp:if_category></code>
(this is for the home page)
<code>
<txp:if_category name=“books”>
<txp:recent_articles label=”“ category=“books” limit=“30” break=“br” wraptag=“p” />
</txp:if_category>
<txp:if_category name=“culture”>
<txp:recent_articles label=”“ category=“culture” limit=“30” break=“br” wraptag=“p” />
</txp:if_category>
</code>etcetera… (for the category pages)
Glad you got it working :)

Re: Modify list of Recent article depending on chosen category
You can’t nest the same tag within itself. You would need to separate each category as a separate block so:-
<code>
<txp:if_category name=“books”>
<txp:recent_articles label=”“ category=“books” limit=“30” break=“br” wraptag=“p” />
</txp:if_category></code>

You’re not doing this on purpose are you ;)

No way, but I got one in on the plug-in forum so I’m happy. :)
“psi”? Where did that one come from?

Re: Modify list of Recent article depending on chosen category
Thank you all — I redid the code as a linear sequence of ‘if’ conditions and it does work beautifully now. One has to pay attention that the home page should be
<code><txp:if_category name=”“>
<txp:else />
<txp:recent_articles label=”“ limit=“30” break=“br” wraptag=“p”/>
</txp:if_category></code>
and not
<code><txp:if_category name=”“>
<txp:recent_articles label=”“ limit=“30” break=“br” wraptag=“p” />
<txp:else />
</txp:if_category>
</code>
This latter form will not work.
I have removed the original code and the markers. Thank you all, and I hope this will help smby in the future — I would think this is a common question.

Nope, it will do exactly the opposite ;)

It is ;) Unfortunately the database was cleaned up a short while ago, so lots of posts aren’t there anymore.
