trouble with if_section and if_category

Yes, those changes should be in the “default” page, since you have assigned the “Products” section to use the default page.

Can we make sure that the code works – please place some test material:

<txp:if_category name="corian,granite,zodiac">
This is a category page, displaying on the products page
<txp:else />
We are in a non-category page
</txp:if_category>

Please try that first, because then you know if you are on the right track or not,

If that works, please check if wow_gallery is your problem. Having not used it, I can’t say, but you may want to add this to the category call:

<txp:wow_gallery name=’<txp:category section="products" type="image" />’ rows="4" cols="6" captions="1" browse="1" />

Not sure if the type=“image” attribute is required, because the default is type=“article”. Depends on wow_gallery.

If you are copying Jonathan’s code, you’ll have to change the quotes! Make sure there are no curly quotes in the code, just ' and ".

Mmm. Copied the code from further up the thread ;-) Edited the post, should be ok now.

Thanks!
Well, I put that in the code and the text “this is in a non-category page” came up on the home page (at the bottom) plus the products page and the category page…
<code>
<txp:if_section name=“products” /> <txp:article_custom section=“products” form=“products” limit=“1” /> <txp:if_category name=“corian,granite,zodiac”> This is a category page, displaying on the products page <txp:else />
We are in a non-category page </txp:if_category>
</txp:if_section>
</code>

and I do have the straight “ and ‘ in the code… even though it comes out as the curly quotes in my post.

Thanks!

ok, I just noticed that I had that /> behind the <txp:if_section name=“products”> again… I did fix that and got the home page to look perfect. Yea! progress!

the rightflr is now in the wrong place… I think I can fix that…

but the category page is still displaying the same as the products page with “We are in a non-category page” on it.

I do like progress, though!

Just a guess: your using capitals in category names might have something to do with this. Change all category (and section, if any) names to all lowercase, and see if it makes a difference.

(You will see that the results on /products/?c=corian are different from /products/?c=Corian.)

Thank you all for your help. my friend John came and helped me get it all fixed. here is the final fix in case it can help others:
<code>
<div id=“content”> <txp:if_section name=“default”> <txp:article_custom section=“home” form=“home_content”
limit=“1” />

</txp:if_section> <txp:if_section name=“products”> <txp:article_custom section=“products” status= “sticky” limit=“1” /> <div class=“cat_nav”> <txp:category_list section=“products” categories=“corian,granite,zodiaq” wraptag=“ul” break=“li” /></div> <txp:if_category> <txp:article /> <txp:wow_gallery name=’<txp:category />’ rows=“3” cols=“6” captions=“1” browse=“1” /> <txp:else /> </txp:if_category> </txp:if_section> </div><!—end content—> <div id=“right_flr”></div> </div> </code>
