Multiple authors: rss_unlimited_categories instead of <txp: article />

I’m currently using rss_unlimited_categories to output my articles in my website, instead of the normal <txp: article /> as I’ve wanted the capability to output a list of category tags (and unlimited categories) along with my published articles.

My problem is that now I find it hard to tweak the output according to what I want. For example, my site will have multiple authors and I wish to click on their name and be able to see the list of their articles, such as mentioned in this thread. But because I’m using rss_uc, I can’t do it the same way.

Here’s my page template:

<txp:if_article_list>
	<txp:rss_uc_article_list limit="10" section="article" />

</txp:if_article_list>




<txp:if_individual_article>
	<txp:article />


<txp:else /> 

And here’s my default form:

<h3><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3> <br><h4>Posted by <b><txp:author link="1" /></b> on <txp:posted /></h4>


<txp:if_article_list>
	<txp:if_excerpt>
		<txp:excerpt />
		<p><txp:permlink>read more>></txp:permlink></p>
	<txp:else />
		<txp:body />
	</txp:if_excerpt>
</txp:if_article_list>

<txp:if_individual_article>
	<txp:body />
</txp:if_individual_article>

Is there a workaround this? (p/s— I’m putting this out in the public thread as I notice that rss_uc is now orphaned..)

Any help would be much appreciated!

warmest,
Amy

Re: Multiple authors: rss_unlimited_categories instead of <txp: article />

Obviously this won’t get you the same functionality vis-a-vis categories, but you could add an if_author block to your page:

<txp:if_article_list>
	<txp:if_author>
		<txp:article />
	<txp:else />
		<txp:rss_uc_article_list limit="10" section="article" />
	</txp:if_author>
</txp:if_article_list>

Thanks — corrected above also.

Thanks for the tip — I just changed it!

<txp:if_article_list>
	<txp:if_author>
		<txp:article />
	<txp:else />
		<txp:rss_uc_article_list limit="10" section="article" />
	</txp:if_author>
</txp:if_article_list>

Thanks jsoo! it worked like a charm (a note though, I added a “/” to the closing tag for <txp:if_author> that you missed. No biggie!)

regards,
Amy
