I don’t understand why that would work anyway. Custom_3_set is not called “custom_3” but is called “Aanverwante_links_volgorde”? I am confused.
Have a look in phpMyAdmin: the column is still called ‘custom_3’.

@jstubbs
That worked! Much simpler than my approach with asy_wondertag. Thx very much.
@Wet
Thx wet, tried using asy_wondertag but i just couldn’t get it to work? Still don’t understand why as i have successfully used the plugin in the past :-?
@Els
Out pure nerdy curiosity and the desire to learn, went and had a nose around to see what i could see, and by golly i saw…
… but allas I didn’t understand, I don’t see anywhere the column custom_3 and yet it works. You are of course right but i don’t see it. ^^ <zucht>
I still have soooooo much to learn. Thx again all of you.

David, you have to look in the textpattern table (sorry I didn’t mention that right away). The articles are stored in and pulled from there, so the sorting has to be based on columns in that table.

Re: <txp:if_article_category> not recognising category
Hi, how can I write multiple if_article_category cases?
I tried to write different IFs with each an ELSE inside, like:
<txp:if_article_category name="flowers">
<p>Here will be a special header image for flowers</p>
</txp:else>
<p>General header for everything else, like about page, contact page, etc.</p>
</txp:if_article_category>
<txp:if_article_category name="animals">
<p>Here will be a special header image for animals</p>
</txp:else>
<p>General header for everything else, like about page, contact page, etc.</p>
</txp:if_article_category>
And a second try was, writing IFs for each case, but in the last case writing no name=“category”:
<txp:if_article_category name="flowers">
<p>Here will be a special header image for flowers</p>
</txp:if_article_category>
<txp:if_article_category name="animals">
<p>Here will be a special header image for animals</p>
</txp:if_article_category>
<txp:if_article_category>
<p>General header for everything else, like about page, contact page, etc.</p>
</txp:if_article_category>
That didn’t work:-(
How is it possible to make multiple IFs with ONE CASE that should happen when none of the IF-condition is met?

As with so many Txp problems, first thing to ask is, has Bloke written a plugin for this?
Code is topiary
