Re: Opening a tag with txp:if_different, how to close it ?

Couldn’t you use<txp:if_first_article>and<txp:if_last_article>for the opening and closing ul tags?
After some thinking, no I don’t think so. Textbook says they are article form tags, so they will be active only once on each txp:article call. The if_different strcture do not create several loops I think.

You’re right. I’ve been trying for three days now and I give up… If only the if_different tag could have an attribute offset…

Re: Opening a tag with txp:if_different, how to close it ?
So, does this or something like it, not work then? i.e:
<txp:if_different>
<li><txp:category1 title=1 />
<ul>
</txp:if_different>
<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></li>
<txp:if_different>
<!-- //end <txp:category1 /> -->
</ul>
</li>
</txp:if_different>?

I’m still trying to run that one through my mind but if it works I reckon you are just too damned clever for this forum Mary. You should have one of your own. Either that or you have too much time on your hands. Take your pick and let me know the answer. :grin:

The output is (I wrapped the article tag in ul tags) (dashes are spaces that won’t show in code):
<code>
<ul>
—<li>CategoryOne
——<ul>
———<li>Title</li>
<!— //end categoryone —>
——</ul>
—</li>
—<li>Title</li>
—<li>Title</li>
—<li>CategoryTwo
——<ul>
———<li>Title</li>
<!— //end categorytwo —>
——</ul>
—</li>
—<li>Title</li>
—<li>Title</li>
—<li>CategoryThree
——<ul>
———<li>Title</li>
<!— //end categorythree —>
——</ul>
—</li>
—<li>Title</li>
—<li>Title</li>
</ul>
</code>
But I’ll have a closer look at it later. At least it’s closing the tags…

Been trying to apply this to a nested list using Year/Month/Post title. But I’m having problems getting the ULs and LIs closed in the right places.
Anyone?

Well, it’s a nice puzzle for someone who is feeling bored ;) I’ve been trying for days at the time and I haven’t been able to find a way to do it properly.

I don’t think it’s possible at present according to this post
Let me know what you find out…

Ah, I missed that one. But it seems pretty clear, it’s just not possible. I’ve certainly given up on it.
