Separating category1/category2 with commas IF necessary

Hi all,

Though I have found a few articles in the forums regarding this idea (if an article is listed in one category, that category is listed alone; if the article belongs to two categories, both are shown with a comma between them) none of the solutions I have found worked or were extremely unclear to me.

What methods/plugins does everybody use to achieve this?

Thanks in advance,
Jez.

Re: Separating category1/category2 with commas IF necessary

I use a modified version of dak_categories_edited, but I can create a simple plugin to achieve this functionality (categories separated by “separator” if second exists).

Are you interested?

I’m guessing that several hundred people would be :)

It’s one of the oldest feature request for the core in the book :)

Something that test if in current context Cat2 isn’t null, and output whatever in that case.

Ok, I’m preparing an information page. Meanwhile you can copy and paste the following plugin:

Use:

<txp:jnm_categories title="1" link="1"/>

You can also set the separator string.
