Show different content based on {segment}

On the website I am building I have these three pages:
- http://janhekmanschool.nl/nieuws/
- http://janhekmanschool.nl/nieuws/huisvesting/
- http://janhekmanschool.nl/nieuws/2009/

When {segment_2} ends with a year it must show the archive of that year and when {segment_2} is not a year it must show that post.

But how do I target it?

In my template I have this:

<div id="content_main">
    {embed="_includes/.article" location="{template_group}"}
</div><!-- /content_main -->

Which loads this:

<div class="article">
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{embed:location}" limit="1" orderby="date" sort="desc" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}
        <div class="article_header">
            {if segment_1 == "nieuws" && segment_2==year}
            <h1>Nieuwsarchief {segment_2}</h1>
            {if:else}
            <h1>{title} {if segment_1 == "nieuws|nieuwsbrief"} <span>{entry_date format="%d %F %Y"}</span>{/if}</h1>
            {/if}
        </div><!-- /article_header -->
        {if segment_1 == "nieuws" &&  segment_2 != ""}
            {body_nieuws}
        {if:else}
            {body}
        {/if}
    {/exp:weblog:entries}
</div><!-- /article -->

I tried something with this kind of code but all failed:

{if segment_1 == "nieuws" && segment_2==year}

It failed I think because when you want segment_2==year it has to be wrapped inside {exp:weblog:entries or am I wrong?

I hope someone that what I want is possible…

Are you thinking something like :
```
{if '{segment_2}'=='{entry_date format="%Y"}'}
 ...
```
That should work if you’re within the entries tag.

If you want to filter outside the entries tag a quick (and dirty way) would be to
```
{if segment_2<='99' || (segment_2>='2000' && segment_2<='2099')}

...etc
```
Which will match only when it’s numeric and within certain ranges.
Though that’s not very pretty imho.

Quoting and bracing your segment conditionals is a huge no-no. See Troubleshooting Conditionals.

You will have to quote and brace your entry_date conditional though.

It’s fixed with the filter outside the entries tag that’s a quick and dirty way but I think it could not be fixed within the entires tag because of this code:

<ul class="list_weblog_archive">
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{template_group}" year="{segment_2}" dynamic="off" disable="pagination|trackbacks|member_data"}
        <li><a href="http://{path={">{title} <span>{entry_date format="%d %F %Y"}</span></a></li>
    {/exp:weblog:entries}
    </ul>

I think it’s not possible to wrap that also inside the entries tag?

So after a good night sleep I got it working with this code:

<div class="article">
{if segment_2 <= "99" OR segment_2 >= "2000" && segment_2 <= "2009"}
    <div class="article_header">
        <h1>Nieuwsarchief {segment_2}</h1>
    </div><!-- /article_header -->
    <ul class="list_weblog_archive">
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{template_group}" year="{segment_2}" dynamic="off" disable="pagination|trackbacks|member_data"}
        <li><a href="http://{path={">{title} <span>{entry_date format="%d %F %Y"}</span></a></li>
    {/exp:weblog:entries}
    </ul>
{if:else}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{template_group}" limit="1" orderby="date" sort="desc" disable="categories|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}
    <div class="article_header">
        <h1>{title} <span>{entry_date format="%d %F %Y"}</span></h1>
    </div><!-- /article_header -->
    {body_nieuws}
{/exp:weblog:entries}
{/if}
</div><!-- /article -->

The only thing is that this code below dowsn’t feel good, I think that could be smaller?
If segment_2 is any number should be enough I think but how?

{if segment_2 <= "99" OR segment_2 >= "2000" && segment_2 <= "2009"}

Stupid. Sorry about quote & brace on the conditionals, that’s what you get for not really thinking when you write.

if segement_2 could be _any_ number you could try
```
{if segment_2 >= "1"}
```
At least in theory. (Assuming here that you’ll not have -ve numbers in the url. I guess if you’re using it for pagination or years/months/days thats a given.)

This is not working :(
What workst is this:
```
{if segment_2 >= "2007" && segment_2 <= "2070"}
```

This code is working correct, I removed the quotes…
```
{if segment_2 >= 1}
```
