TXP if Category how to?

The conditional statements in textpattern are terriffic, butI got to thinking can I nest if_category in if-category or do i use another else?

<txp:if_category category="fruit">
  ...your content here...
<txp:else />
  <txp:if_category category="vegetables">
     ...your content here...
  <txp:else />
     ...default option... 
  </txp:if_category>
</txp:if_category>

or

<txp:if_category>
   ...your content here...
<txp:else />
  ...some other content...
<txp:else/>
  ...default content...
</txp:if_category>

Thanks in advance

Re: TXP if Category how to?

Neither is possible, but you can do

<txp:if_category name="fruit">
  ...your content here...
</txp:if_category>

<txp:if_category name="vegetables">
  ...your content here...
</txp:if_category>

<txp:if_category name="fruit,vegetables">
<txp:else />
     ...default option... 
</txp:if_category>

The attribute is name, not category or section :)

Yes, you should be able to do something like that.

Re: TXP if Category how to?

SO it would be?

<txp:if_category name=“vegetables”>
My vegetable related content…
</txp:if_category>

<txp:if_section name=“contact”>
…different content
</txp:if_section>

?

Re: TXP if Category how to?

Yes, but if you also need to display articles that are not in category ‘vegetables’ or ‘fruit’ nor in section ‘contact’, you will need some more conditionals. If those other articles don’t need to be further specified, you could add

<txp:if_section name="contact">
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category name="vegetables,fruit">
<txp:else />
all the rest...
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_section>
