How to omit data from articles posted at midnight?
hello forum,
i asume i have a pretty esoteric problem. for my photofestival website i have about 60 exhibitions each of which is an article. some exhibitions have a vernissage, some not.
i use <txp:posted > to output the date and time of the vernissage:
<h4>Vernissage</h4>
<p><txp:posted format="%d.%m.%Y, %H:%M" /> Uhr</p>works fine, but obviously if there is no vernissage, than there is no time set and it outputs 00:00 Uhr.
does anybody have an idea how i could omit the whole snippet in case time is set to 00:00? i was thinking of a solution with <txp:variable > but i’m lacking the programmer skills to tell the @<txp:if_variable > tag “if time is 00:00 do nothing, else output my snippet”.
so any idea or hint is much appreciated. thanks for your time.

<txp:variable name="vernissage_time"><txp:posted format="%d.%m.%Y, %H:%M" /></txp:variable>
<txp:if_variable name="vernissage_time" value="00:00"><!-- make double-sure that's exactly correct! -->
<!-- do nothing -->
<txp:else />
<h4>Vernissage</h4>
<p><txp:posted .... etc.... ></p>
</txp:if_variable>Last edited by maruchan (2012-06-20 22:13:58)

hi maruchan,
thank you. for some weird reason this produces a tag error for <txp:else />. can’t see why, as the part before the else-statement is parsed (“Keine Vernissage” in case it’s 00:00).
<txp:variable name="vernissage_time"><txp:posted format="%H:%M" /></txp:variable>
<txp:if_variable name="vernissage_time" value="00:00">
<p>Keine Vernissage</p>
<txp:else />
<h4>Vernissage</h4>
<p><txp:posted format="%d.%m.%Y, %H:%M" /> Uhr</p>

Re: How to omit data from articles posted at midnight?
there is also an underscore missing from the post here
It should be:
<txp:if_variable name="vernissage_time" value="00:00">Yiannis
