How to list children categories of a parent with txp:if_category?
I need two separate kind of layout for category listing.
Problem: The tag “txp:if_category name=“cat1,cat2,cat3” requires that someone keeps the list up to date in code when writers add categories. I’d like to have it automatic to be sure everything works as intended.
So if I have categories
parent: animals
childrens: fox, lion, bird
and
parent: humans
childrens: steve, bloke, mary
I’d like to have:
txp:if_category name=“animals”
layout 1, suitable for animals
lists articles under selected animal category
txp:if_category name=“humans”
layout2, suitable for human beings,
lists articles under selected human category
Possible? Plugins? Variables? Please advice :)

hi ultramega,
not sure if I understood your request, but could this txp tip be helpful?
Sorry to disagree, but:
parent: humans
childrens: steve, bloke, mary
That guy is not human, have you seen his plugins? have you seen his forum posts? No human can write that much…

Well, I was not exactly sure how to categorize him, so to be on safe side I choosed humans.
And to prove your words… it seems Bloke has plugin even for this, hah :)
<txp:smd_if field=“parent”
operator=“contains”
value=“humans”>
Layout for human-parent category
and so on…
Thanks anyway!
