custom article lists by category
I’m trying to create some custom pages on a per category basis…
The idea i am working on is not working out… I wonder if anyone can spot where I’m going wrong…
<txp:if_search>
foo
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category name="categoryA">
<txp:article_custom category="categoryA" section="Section" form="thumbs" limit="100" />
also something here
<txp:else />
<txp:article limit="10" />
</txp:if_category>
<txp:if_category name="categoryB">
<txp:article_custom category="categoryB" section="Section" form="thumbs" limit="100" />
also something else here
<txp:else />
<txp:article limit="10" />
</txp:if_category>
<txp:else />
</txp:if_search>The problem with the above is when I am in the /category/categoryA or category/categoryB page I also see the 10 entries below the thumbs…
What I am trying is to show just the thumbs without any other extra data… I can understand why it is happening but I can not figure out how to avoid it…
I also tried
<txp:if_search>... foo
<txp:if_category name="categoryA">
<txp:article_custom category="categoryA" section="Section" form="thumbs" limit="100" />
also something here
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category name="categoryB">
<txp:article_custom category="categoryB" section="Section" form="thumbs" limit="100" />
also something else here
</txp:if_category>
<txp:else />
<txp:article limit="10" />
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_search>any ideas????

Re: custom article lists by category
(Sorry, Can’t check this idea right now) Might this work?
<txp:if_search> foo <txp:else />
<txp:if_category name="">
<txp:article limit="10" />
</txp:if_category>
<txp:if_category name="categoryA">
<txp:article_custom category="categoryA" section="Section" form="thumbs" limit="100" />
also something here
</txp:if_category>
<txp:if_category name="categoryB">
<txp:article_custom category="categoryB" section="Section" form="thumbs" limit="100" />
also something else here
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_search>BTW1, you had that search conditional differently between the examples. Just a typo or do you want to somehow filter search results? (of which I have no idea…)
BTW2, Is there some reason why you use article_custom? Or do you want to display articles from another section when browsing those two categories?

Re: custom article lists by category
You were nesting two identical conditionals (if_category), that’s why it didn’t work.
You could also use asy_wondertag and do this:
<txp:if_category name="categoryA,categoryB">
<txp:asy_wondertag><txp:article_custom category="<txp:category />" section="Section" form="thumbs" limit="100" /></txp:asy_wondertag>
<txp:else />
<txp:article limit="10" />
</txp:if_category>Offline

<txp:else />
<txp:article limit="10" />
</txp:if_category>
<txp:if_category name="A">

</txp:if_category>
