Introduction, lists of articles and individual articles on one page?
It’s very easy to set up a page to show both a list of articles, or an individual article, dependent on context using the txp:if_individual_article and/or txp:if_article_list tags.
But – what I want to do is be able to hit my page in three different ways:
/mypage
would just display a static introduction to the section
/mypage/category
would show a list of all the articles in that category, as if I’d matched txp:if_article_list.
/mypage/123/article-title
would just show that single article, with comment form as normal.
I can do just 2 and 3, but can’t work out how to suppress all articles and just show the static content if no parameters (article id or category name) are passed in the URL.

Would glx_if_section_frontpage do it?

That’s done it, thanks mary. :) I didn’t think you could nest conditional tags.
Only thing I can’t seem to do is get clean URLs to work with it – because I’m on a particular page/section, my URL is:
www.mysite.com/section-name/
so ideally I would like to navigate to categories within that section like this:
www.mysite.com/section-name/category-name
or even:
www.mysite.com/section-name/category/category-name
The only way I can get it to work properly at the moment is by linking to:
www.mysite.com/section-name/?c=category-name
Everything else just returns a 404. Muchos gracias. :)

That’s because this last URL is the correct one. Textpattern doesn’t support /section/category URLs.
