Re: New tag: if_article_id
Hopefully really soon. There are a couple bug fixes that need to go in that aren’t finished yet.

Re: New tag: if_article_id
Hi.
the next one is a question made by my curiosity, not as a request and neither as a reclamation.
All the TxP tags that evaluate article variables (sorry if i’m not using the correct words) like “if_article_id” and “if_article_section”, etc… ¿couldn’t all be “managed” by a simple tag?
I mean, using attributes:
something like <txp:if_article id="21">, or <txp: if_article section="news">, etc.
But the truth is that I cannot see any advantage in my all-mighty if_article but just the possibility of combining many attributes. (txp:if_article section="news" category="sports").
In the other side, I can see advantages in the actual separated tags (if_article_id, if_article_section, etc) and it’s about the possibility of nesting them.
With the “all-mighty” if_article and the actual parser, you couldn’t nest many if_article tags.
Just a thought, dropped here for the sake of thinking and for the sake if someone comes in the year 2019 and ask “why not an all-mighty if_article tag?”
BTW: if_article_id <- grossooooooo!

That is indeed part of it. The other part is: it really complicates the logic in the tag far more than justified for most uses.
