Might be a good example of using conditional tags in the ‘single’ form.

Not sure I follow you. Can you explain?

Do you mean semantics or the single tag feature itself?

I meant having the additional attribute values allowoverride="form" and allowoverride="listform".

I mean allowoverride ='<if::individual_article />' is clear enough, once you know that the tag returns 1 or empty string.

For the time being, yes please.

Done – txp:article and txp:article_custom

Ah right: I thought you might be making a tantalizing hint at some other use case I haven’t thought of.

I find that a little confusing, honestly. The tag’s description int the docs:

The if_individual_article tag is a conditional tag and always used as an opening and closing pair

(Emphasis added on “always”)

But then here it is used as single tag. ??

Okay, yeah, that is not clear at all. We should revisit the documentation of conditional tags.

I’m not quite sure when it changed but all(?) conditional tags can now be used as a single tag if all you want to do is test whether the condition is true/false rather than do something with contained content when it is true/else.

They return 1 if true, as Oleg states, and empty if false.

Thanks for clarifying. This use as a single tag as a (simple) test makes sense, actually. Your comment belongs somewhere in the docs.
