Update on if_article category · Mar 7, 04:47 pm by Rick Silletti

Tags shuffled to test for a match in either cat1 or cat2. If cat1 is a match the function is exited, if not, a match is looked for in cat2. There is a lot of room for originality here (and some for Excedrin).

<txp:ras_if_article_category1 name="second,list,test">
<p> 1 <txp:category1 /></p>
<txp:else />
<txp:ras_if_article_category2 name="second,list,test">
<p> 2 <txp:category2 /></p>
<txp:else />
<p>No Match for Categories</p>
</txp:ras_if_article_category2>
</txp:ras_if_article_category1>

Tags shuffled to look for a combination of matches in cat1 and cat2, more arbitrary, but not as difficult to get your head around.

<txp:ras_if_article_category1 name="test,list,second">
<txp:ras_if_article_category2 name="second,list,test">
<p> Both category one and two<br />
<txp:category1 /><txp:category2 /></p>
</txp:ras_if_article_category2>
</txp:ras_if_article_category1>

Functions go as follows:

function ras_if_article_category1($atts, $thing)
{
global $thisarticle;
extract(lAtts(array(
‘name’ => ‘’,
),$atts));
$cat = $thisarticle[‘category1’];
return parse(EvalElse($thing, in_list($cat, $name)));
}

function ras_if_article_category2($atts, $thing)
{
global $thisarticle;
extract(lAtts(array(
‘name’ => ‘’,
),$atts));
$cat = $thisarticle[‘category2’];
return parse(EvalElse($thing, in_list($cat, $name)));
}

Functions are in one plugin at the sidebar as ras_if_article_category.
