How do you list an articles category or categories.
Hey all. This is probably an easy problem to solve but…
I need to list a comma separated list of the categories of an article. If there is not two assigned categories it just lists the 1 without the comma. They need to be links as well that go to the category pages.

Not tested but with the help of an old but trusted plugin, you may add to an article form. (I am assuming that category 1 will always be populated)
<txp:category1 title="1" link="1" />
<txp:chh_if_data>
, <txp:category2 title="1" link="1" />
<txp:else />
</txp:chh_if_data>Last edited by colak (2008-11-06 18:38:15)

Humm…Not working. It seems insane that TXP doesn’t include a tag for this standard. Also the link for the plugin isn’t working but I’m sure you wanted me to install chh_if_data.
Also, you are correct to assume that category1 will always be populated.

Try colak’s code without the <txp:else /> branch. I think that’s confusing the chh_if_data call because it always has “something” in it (either the category or a non-breaking space).
Scratch that, I’m talking crap.
This sort of thing will be possible in 4.0.7 through judicial use of <txp:variable /> and <txp:if_variable />. But you’re right, a way of saying “if category1” or “if category2” would be handy.

</txp:chh_if_data>
This should work, because I’ve done it in the past.
I think the problem is just a typo error on the <txp:category1 title="1" link="1">. It’s missing the closing slash.

Re: How do you list an articles category or categories.
You can do it without plugin :)
<txp:category1 link="1" title="1" />
<txp:if_article_category number="2">
, <txp:category2 link="1" title="1" />
</txp:if_article_category>Offline

Ok, I couldn’t found it because I just search (with the text finder) for “if_ar…”
Curious, why the underscores have been removed?

Re: How do you list an articles category or categories.
Searching for part of a word doesn’t work there, you need to enter a full page title (both ‘if_article_category’ and ‘if article category’ lead you to the right page).
More on the tag pages renaming here.
