Issue with if_category

Does anyone know why this if_category tag is not working. Even though I am trying to filter out the articles tagged with the ‘Inspire’ category, they are still showing up in my recent articles list.

Here is my code:

<txp:if_category name=“Inspire”>&nbsp;
<txp:else />

<txp:recent_articles label=”“ limit=“5” break=“li” wraptag=“ul” />

</txp:if_category>

Re: Issue with if_category

Looks like you have nothing in there to display before the else tag:

<txp:if_category name=“Inspire”>
Do something here……
<txp:else />

<txp:recent_articles label=”“ limit=“5” break=“li” wraptag=“ul” />

</txp:if_category>

Re: Issue with if_category

if_category tests if the current article list is one for the category mentioned (i.e., if the current page’s URL is http://www.example.com/category/Inspire or http://www.example.com/?c=Inspire). It does not test every single article’s categories and include them depending on the result of this check.

You will have to build a solution around article_custom.
