Re: syntax problem: <txp:if_category name="cat1,cat2,cat3">?
Okay, I’m looking at the source again, and it looks like, for whatever reason, this tag was overlooked for the multiple category names feature. >x Now I’m trying to get it to do so…

Re: syntax problem: <txp:if_category name="cat1,cat2,cat3">?
I’ve never been able to get if_article_category to take a list for the name attribute. I tried rewriting it to do so and ran in to so many headaches that I settled for two tags, one for each category level, and then nested them.
Plugin ras_if_article_category
Usage Example
It would be nice to get it working with one tag.

rick,
on another note: what would you do, if you want to select only articles, which do not have a category assigned in either or both categories?
edit: <txp:if_article_category name=”“> ???
this should work
<txp:if_article_category name=“all,the,categories,i,have”>
<txp:else />
…the (non-) categories left…
</txp:if_article_category>
given the multiple categories in the tag work soon.

Re: syntax problem: <txp:if_category name="cat1,cat2,cat3">?
The else clause will work fine for categories not in the list, however, that by itself doesn’t prove an empty category. An empty category assigned as a attribute probably won’t test for an empty category either, the tag as it is written simply tunes it out. I’d write a plugin to test specifically for an empty category.

Wouldn’t this work?
<txp:if_article_category>
<txp:else />
blah
</txp:if_article_category>I haven’t tried it, but it works for <txp:if_category>.

The example Els posted should work.
