Article Specific Styling based on Catagory
Hi, hoping someone can answer this for me.
My site is setup like this, I have one main page that contains several different articles on various topics. I would like to color code this article titles based on category (News-Red, Tutorials-Green, ect.)
I know I have to alter the article form to put something like this…
<txp:if_article_category name=“News-Updates” number=“1”>
<div id=“artNewsDiv”><txp:article form=“default” /></div>
<txp:else />
…
but I’m not sure what the exact code should be. So far everything I’ve done hasn’t worked. My articles still show up without a id wrapper around them.
Any help would be great.

Re: Article Specific Styling based on Catagory
Page template:
<txp:article form="default" />
Default article form :
<txp:if_article_category name=“News-Updates” number=“1”>
<div id=“artNewsDiv”>
</txp:if_article_category>
<txp:if_article_category name=“another-category” number=“1”>
<div id=“anothercategorydiv”>
</txp:if_article_category>
<h2><txp:title></h2>
<txp:body />
...
</div> <!-- this div closes any "category div" open above by conditionals tags -->I hope that helps.

Other option, without using conditionals.
In your article form:
<div class="<txp:category1 />">
<h3><txp:title /></h3>
...etc...
</div>And then, you create different CSS rules based on your categories names.

Well that’s just your opinion maniqui. I wonder what the other one thinks about it. ;)
