Nesting tags for checking individual article and category: pls. help!
Hi to you all,
I am trying the achieve the following: on a sidebar on a page (so not in form) I want to execute some script but only:
+ if TXP calls an individual article and the category of the article is “catname”
+ if TXP calls an category page and the category of the articles is “catname”
Please find below the code I am using, but only the second action works, when calling individual articles the script does not run. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance.
Marcel

<txp:if_category name=“catname”> <some script></script> <txp:else /> </txp:if_category></txp:if_individual_article>

Hi Ruud,
I do not understand how your example is going to do both things I want at the same time?
I wonder whether the issue here is that I can not get TxP to use the <txp:if_category name=“catname”> in the if_individual_article tag. Is that category query going to work on a page in stead of a form?

(earlier example deleted.. what was I thinking).
Try if_article_category instead of if_category when you’re checking an individual article:
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_article_category name=“catname”> <some script></script> <txp:else /> </txp:if_article_category>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category name=“catname”> <some script></script> <txp:else /> </txp:if_category>
</txp:if_individual_article>Last edited by ruud (2006-11-05 21:24:39)

Hi Ruud,
That does not help. I still think it’s got something to do with what I said above…
Anyone?
IS IT SO STRANGE TO CHANGE A PAGE LAYOUT FOR INDIVIDUAL ARTICLE PUBLISHING BASED ON A SPECIFIC CATEGORY?

Try this:
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_article_category name="catname">
<some script></script>
</txp:if_article_category>
</txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_category name="catname">
<some script></script>
</txp:if_category>(You can leave out the <txp:else /> if nothing comes after it.)
But: <txp:if_article_category> can only be used on a page in 4.0.4, not in earlier versions.

Hi Els,
Unfortunately, I still can not get the first script to work. The if_individual_article part works, but the subsequent script after the if_article_category tag is neve run (and this time I am working with category name and not title!).
I am working on 4.0.4 now by the way.
Any idea’s?
Edit: it works now but only because I found out that, in if_article_category the catname is case sensative in contrast to in if_category! Strange, but at least it works now!

It should be case-sensitive regardless, so just consider all tags that way, even if at times you seem to not have to.
