If/else statement for creating a different background in the sidebar
I want the a new list of articles to appear in the sidebar depending on the section that we land on. So I know I can create this code here;
<txp:if_section name="children">
<txp:recent_articles section="children" label="" />
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="corporate">
<txp:recent_articles section="corporate" label="" />
</txp:if_section>But how would I do it if I wanted a different background image to appear each and everytime depending on the section that appears for that sidebar?

Re: If/else statement for creating a different background in the sidebar
Just apply a class or ID:
<txp:if_section name="children">
<txp:recent_articles section="children" label="" class="different" />
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="corporate">
<txp:recent_articles section="corporate" label="" />
</txp:if_section>Then do .different { background: url(/images/something.png) } in your CSS.

Re: If/else statement for creating a different background in the sidebar
Thanks so much. I take it that this can’t accept an id instead of a class?
Actually, I just tried an ID and I got an error, so IDs don’t work.

Re: If/else statement for creating a different background in the sidebar
That is correct, though it probably should like the other TXP tags. You’ll get more control using article_custom though:
<ul id="recent_<txp:section">
<txp:if_section name="children">
<txp:article_custom form="recent_article" section="children" />
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="corporate">
<txp:article_custom form="recent_article" section="corporate" />
</txp:if_section>
</ul>form: recent_article
<li>
<txp:permlink>
<txp:title />
</txp:permlink>
</li>Last edited by jm (2008-02-07 00:58:56)
