if else article id #

holygeez · 2009-05-19 19:59:17

I’m trying to get an image to appear depending on the article id # and then another article to appear depending on another article id # and then another image depending upon the section. However, if the article resides in the same section, then the article would have overriding status. How do I do this?

This is what I have;

<txp:if_article_id id="4">
         <img src="image location" />
   <txp:if_article_id id="2">
        <img src="image location" />
   <txp:if_section="sectionname">
       <img src="imagelocation" />
   <txp:if_else />
  </txp:if_article_id>

<txp:if_section name="sectionname">
	<txp:if_article_id id="4">
		<img src="image location" />
	<txp:else />
		<txp:if_article_id id="2">
			<img src="image location" />
		<txp:else />
			<img src="imagelocation" />
		</txp:if_article_id>
	</txp:if_article_id>
<txp:else />
	<img src="imagelocation" />
</txp:if_section>

Remember to close every tag you open :)

This: <txp:if_else /> doesn’t exist.

EDIT: changed the code because I overlooked this:

However, if the article resides in the same section, then the article would have overriding status.

EDIT 2: sorry, forgot a line…

I saw you had <txp:if_section section=”“>. Shouldn’t it be, <txp:if_section name=”“> ? I looked at the tag wiki and there is no mention of a section attribute.

Yes, you are right.

Actually, there’s a slight issue with the above code. Those images for that specific articles will show up, however, any other articles within that section will be orphaned (ie; have no image appear). How can I have an image (ie; banner_lady) still show up for those other unnamed articles within that section? And btw, all other sections are having the banner_lady image appearing. Here is what I have;

<txp:if_section name="strategies">
  <txp:if_article_id id="4">
         <img src="/images/banner-certification.jpg" />
   <txp:else />
       <txp:if_article_id id="2">
          <img src="/images/banner-coalition.jpg" />
      </txp:if_article_id>
  </txp:if_article_id>
     <txp:else />
	<img src="/images/banner_lady.jpg" />
</txp:if_section>

So then I tried the below (I simply put in the default name attribute). However, the banner_lady image shows up for EVERY article and section but those specific articles (4 and 2) mentioned below have no overriding power.

<txp:if_section name="default">
  <txp:if_article_id id="4">
         <img src="/images/banner-certification.jpg" />
   <txp:else />
       <txp:if_article_id id="2">
          <img src="/images/banner-coalition.jpg" />
      </txp:if_article_id>
  </txp:if_article_id>
     <txp:else />
	<img src="/images/banner_lady.jpg" />
</txp:if_section>

Oh dear. Three edits needed to get it right… too much in a hurry when posting that code I’m afraid, my apologies!

OK, I think I misunderstood your question. So you don’t need an image for other sections than ‘strategies’? Then you can leave out the last <txp:else /> and the next line. Does this do what you want?

<txp:if_section name="strategies">
	<txp:if_article_id id="4">
		<img src="/images/banner-certification.jpg" />
	<txp:else />
		<txp:if_article_id id="2">
			<img src="/images/banner-coalition.jpg" />
		<txp:else />
			<img src="/images/banner_lady.jpg" />
		</txp:if_article_id>
	</txp:if_article_id>
</txp:if_section>

Oh no. I still need images for other sections. I’m simply using strategies to just simplify my question. That’s why I tried to use default as the name attribute in the second example hoping that the lady image will default for those articles that are not explicitly mentioned. I hope this helps. Thanks so much.

Well, I’m pretty sure that the code example in my previous post will display banner-certification.jpg for article #4, banner-coalition.jpg for article #2, and banner_lady.jpg for all other articles in section strategies. If it doesn’t, can you tell me what it does do and maybe post a tag trace of the page in question?

<txp:if_section name="default"> just means: if we are in section ‘default’ (which is actually no section at all, it’s the front page).

holygeez · 2009-05-20 21:10:11

Once I realized that i misread the default name attribute, then I was set. I just simply inputted all the section names in there and my problem was solved.
