How to hide <hr> if there are no articles ... ?

RedFox · 2015-04-09 09:34:39

What’s the most elegant way to hide the <hr> if there are no articles?

<txp:article_custom section="articles" category="berichten" form="single_nolink_important" sort="" wraptag="" class="" break="" limit="2" label="Ingekomen berichten" labeltag="h3" />
<hr>

Have you already tried break="hr"? Edit: ~~I’m asking cause I can’t tell with certainty whether the hr is placed after the article or before.~~ (Resolved itself and not well thought out.)

You can of course also put that hr inside your single_nolink_important form.

If you only want one hr after the two articles you can use a variable

<txp:variable name="hrv" value='<txp:article_custom section="articles" category="berichten" form="single_nolink_important" sort="" wraptag="" class="" break="" limit="2" label="Ingekomen berichten" labeltag="h3" />' />
<txp:if_variable name="hrv" value="">
<txp:hide>no articles</txp:hide>
<txp:else />
<txp:variable name="hrv" />
<hr>
</txp:if_variable>

Yes, but strange enough that doesn’t work … it doesn’t render <hr>‘s … and there are no error notifications too … !?

BTW … it’s not precisely what I want. If there are 2 articles … I get a <hr> between article 1 and 2 … and I only want a <hr> after 1, 2, etc. articles. And no <hr> if there are none articles.

Joop, I’ve amended my first post. (But maybe you can also go with Yiannis’ solution.)

Off course … variable’s … pffff.

Whoops, I did not notice that there was a form there. You might not need the code I posted as it might be an overkill. Could you tell us what you have in that form?

RedFox · 2015-04-09 11:13:36

<div class="article important">
<h1 class="entry-title"><txp:title /></h1>
<txp:body />
</div>

I guess that the variable will work as I cannot See a way to include it in the form so as to appear only once.

How about wrapping the <hr> tag inside a txp:if_last_article tag in your form? Does that work?

Yiannis … did you perhaps made a typo in your first post … ;-)

Now it’s working … off course > tvdiever.nl … top sidebar.

Bloke … also nice … wait a moment please.

Bloke … it does the job too … after some tweaking:

HTML:

<txp:article_custom section="articles" category="berichten" form="single_nolink_important" sort="" wraptag="" class="" break="hr" limit="2" label="" labeltag="" />

Form:

<txp:if_last_article>
<h3>Ingekomen berichten</h3>
<div class="article important">
<h1 class="entry-title"><txp:title /></h1>
<txp:body />
</div>
<hr>
<txp:else />
<div class="article important">
<h1 class="entry-title"><txp:title /></h1>
<txp:body />
</div>
</txp:if_last_article>

Oké, thanks all. Shall we vote?

BTW … I’m always hesitant to ask such simple questions, but hé, I’m learning so much … :))

I guess that Oleg is needed here to tell us which one uses less memory or even suggest an even more economic solution:)

If it works, great, though I’m a bit confused. You said “I get a <hr> between article 1 and 2 … and I only want a <hr> after 1, 2, etc. articles. And no <hr> if there are none articles.”

Isn’t that:

Article 1
Article 2
<hr>

and nothing output at all if there are no articles? In which case, why do you have break="hr" in your article_custom tag?

If this is what you want:

Article 1
<hr>
Article 2
<hr>

Then you don’t need the break attribute: set it to break="", hard-code the <hr> at the end of the form and you’re done.

For the first scenario (although untested) I would expect the following to work:

<txp:article_custom
    section="articles"
    category="berichten"
    form="single_nolink_important"
    sort=""
    break=""
    limit="2" />

With form:

<txp:if_last_article>
   <h3>Ingekomen berichten</h3>
</txp:if_last_article>

<div class="article important">
   <h1 class="entry-title"><txp:title /></h1>
   <txp:body />
</div>

<txp:if_last_article>
   <hr>
</txp:if_last_article>
