comma-separated list of categories for an article

Just a little trick that I hope can be helpful to someone else: I wanted to display the list of categories (1 and 2) an article belongs to, separating the categories’ names with a comma in case both are set, i.e.:

Categories: articles
Categories: articles, documentation

I got this by inserting a bit of php code inside my form:

Categories: < txp:category1 link=“y” />< txp:php> global $thisarticle; if ($thisarticle[‘category1’] && $thisarticle[‘category2’]) {echo “, “;}
< /txp:php>< txp:category2 link=“y” />

Greetings

C.

Re: comma-separated list of categories for an article

Neat Trick! I did it slightly differently using just TxP tags.

<code> <txp:if_article_category name=” “ number=“1”>
<txp:else />
<span class=“posted”><txp:category1 link=“1” /></span>
</txp:if_article_category>
<txp:if_article_category name=” “ number=“2”>
<txp:else /> , <span class=“posted”><txp:category2 link=“1” /></span>
</txp:if_article_category>
</code>
