if section

So I’m trying to create multiple conditions for multiple sections. ie; if section A, then show this content, if section B, then show this content, etc…

Don’t think I’m doing right though:

<txp:if_section name="accessories">
   <title>Custom Accessories <txp:page_title /></title>
<txp:if_section name="dresses">
   <title>Dresses <txp:page_title /></title>
     <txp:else />
  <title>Generic Title <txp:page_title /></title>
</txp:if_section>
</txp:if_section>

Re: if section

You can’t nest if_section tags.
If an article belongs to section “accessories” than it can’t belong also to section “dresses”.
I would like to show you a more appropriate example but I don’t understand what are you trying to accomplish.

Re: if section

Basically, I am trying to set conditionals for my meta title. So if one section shows up, then this meta title description will appear. if another section shows up, then a different meta title will appear.

Re: if section

Here’s one more solution to this if you dont want to do if_sections inside others:

<!-- Set empty variable before listing if_sections -->
<txp:variable name="section-url" value="" />
<txp:if_section name="accessories">
        <txp:variable name="section-url" value="set" />
	<title>Custom Accessories <txp:page_title /></title>
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="dresses">
        <txp:variable name="section-url" value="set" />
	<title>Dresses <txp:page_title /></title>
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="shoes">
        <txp:variable name="section-url" value="set" />
	<title>Shoes <txp:page_title /></title>
</txp:if_section>
<txp:if_section name="hats">
        <txp:variable name="section-url" value="set" />
	<title>Hats <txp:page_title /></title>
</txp:if_section>
<!-- If variable section-url not set, show generic url -->
<txp:if_variable name="section-url" value="">
        <title>Generic Title <txp:page_title /></title>
</txp:if_variable>
