Syntax

<txp:if_article_author>

The if_article_author tag is a conditional tag and always used as an opening and closing pair, like this…

<txp:if_article_author>
    …conditional statement…
</txp:if_article_author>

The tag will execute the contained statement if the author name associated with a particular article matches the value of the name attribute. Should be used in an ‘article’ type form.

Note: The name attribute requires an author’s login name not their real name.

Attributes

Tag will accept the following attributes (case-sensitive) as well as the global attributes :

name="author"

Comma-separated list of author names.

Default: unset (i.e. any author at all).
