Syntax

<txp:if_first_category>

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

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

The tag will execute the contained statements if the current category (usually one inside the container or form of a category_list) is the first in the currently displayed list.

Attributes

This tag has no attributes of its own. It accepts only the global attributes .

Examples

Example 1: Identify first category in a category list

<txp:category_list parent="group-1" children="0">
    <txp:if_first_category>
        <h3>
            <txp:category />
        </h3>
    <txp:else />
        <txp:category link="1" />
    </txp:if_first_category>
</txp:category_list>

Prevents the first category in the list from being hyperlinked to a category page. Why you might do it? If you nest categories under a ‘header’ category you might want to show the header of the group but not allow people to link to its category page.

Other tags used: category, category_list, else.
