Would anybody have any suggestions for me regarding the following setup.

I have a news and events page, listing all news articles and all events from both the news channel and the events channel. Its a single list. Each channel requires its own html.

I was thinking the following might work, but the if/else is not working in this context.

What would be the best approach for this?

{exp:channel:entries channel="news | events" orderby="date" sort="desc"}
{if channel=="news"}
SHOW NEWS HTML HERE
{/if}
{if channel=="events"}
SHOW EVENTS HTML HERE
{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

appreciate any ideas.

Try using the if statement for the {exp:channel:entries} tag. don’t put the 2 if statements withing the channel entries tag. Use 2 separate channel entries.  Use the url segment to determine which one should be used.

http://yoursite/news/

{if segment_1 == 'news'}
    {exp:channel:entries channel = "news"}
         ...Your content here
    {/exp:channel:entries}
{/if}
{if segment_1 == 'events'}
    {exp:channel:entries channel = "news"}
         ...Your content here
    {/exp:channel:entries}
{/if}

thanks for the reply. Thats not quite what i’m looking for though.

I have the following setup:

a url:http://mysite.com/newsandevents/

and the html on this page which lists various news and events in one container in date order is something like this:

<div class=“newsandevents”>
<div class=“newsitem”>NEWS ITEM 1 HERE</div>
<div class=“newsitem”>NEWS ITEM 2 HERE</div>
<div class=“eventitem”>EVENT ITEM 1 HERE</div>
<div class=“newsitem”>NEWS ITEM 3 HERE</div>
<div class=“eventitem”>EVENT ITEM 2 HERE</div>
</div>

Is this possible?
