nested if_article_categories?

“how do I understand the way Textpattern parses conditionals?” (i think it has a lot to do with passes when textpattern parses the page templates and forms)

<txp:if_article_category number="1"> cat1 set </txp:if_article_category>

and

<txp:if_article_category number="2"> cat2 set </txp:if_article_category>

..right?

why then

<txp:if_article_category number="1"><txp:if_article_category number="2"> both set! </txp:if_article_category></txp:if_article_category>

fails?

I want to output text only if both categories are met.

Though this works (woot, i have almost complete txp-only breadcrumbs) :

<txp:if_article_category number="1"><txp:output_form form="check_cat2" /></txp:if_article_category>

misc. form check_cat2 being

<txp:if_article_category number="2">both set!</txp:if_article_category>

Though this works …

Hey, that’s good to know, thanks! It is not possible to nest a conditional inside an identical one, but I know it is possible to use php instead of the nested tag. I suppose your example comes down to the same principle and therefore works.

Kurt,

thanks. I googled everything else but simple “nested tags problems” – even did the site: -search :D
*sigh*
