Omit articles assigned to categories...

The main navigation has a top level, consisting of section names, and a sub level, consisting of category names.

If the user clicks on a top level link I want the page to display articles only assigned to that section and not to a category. If a sub level link is clicked then only articles assigned to the category are displayed.

I can achieve the latter quite easily but I can’t work out how to display articles that are assigned to sections only and not categorised.

<div class="mainContent">
<txp:if_section name="default">
<txp:article_custom section="home" />
<txp:else />
<h1><txp:section title='1' /></h1>
<txp:article sort="position asc">
<txp:if_category>
<h3><txp:title /></h3>
<txp:body />
<txp:else />
<h3><txp:title /></h3>
<txp:body />
</txp:if_category>
</txp:article>
</txp:if_section>
</div>

I think I’m over complicating things.

Re: Omit articles assigned to categories...

Hi

Have you tried using txp:variable like this (put it in an article form):

<txp:variable name="thecat" value='<txp:category1 />' />
<txp:if_variable name="thecat" value="">
here article without category
<txp:else />
here article with a category
</txp:variable>

Or just change <txp:if_category> in your code to <txp:if_article_category> :)

Re: Omit articles assigned to categories...

I’ve taken your idea and created this;

<div class=“mainContent”>
<txp:if_section name=“default”>
<txp:article_custom section=“home” />
<txp:else />
<h1><txp:section title=‘1’ /></h1>
<txp:article sort=“position asc”>
<txp:variable name=“artCat” value=’<txp:category1 /><txp:category2 />’ />
<txp:if_variable name=“artCat” value=”“>
<h3><txp:title /></h3>
<txp:body />
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category>
<h3><txp:title /></h3>
<txp:body />
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_variable>
</txp:article>
</txp:if_section>
</div>

Which works thanks. I wonder if there is a simpler solution?
