Thread

This question may be related to a resolved thread.

I am trying to create something very similar to the thread above. In each post on the page I would like to have a conditional that shows “Posted in CATEGORY” only if there is an associated category. But I cannot find a conditional variable in Global or Weblog conditionals that allow me to target the presence of categories. If one exists my code would look something like this:

{if category_name != ""}
    Posted in 
    {categories}
    <a href="http://{path={my_weblog}categories}">{category_name}</a>
    {/categories}
    
{/if}

How can I work around this to target categories assigned to each post?

What happens when you try the code in the posted thread- though you’ll want to remove the group_id parameter.  So something like

{categories limit="1"}
Posted in:

{/categories}
{categories backspace="1"}
          ♦ {category_name},
{/categories}

That assumes you can have more than one category assigned to an entry.  If you only every have one category, you could just do:

{categories}
          Posted in: {category_name}
{/categories}

Ah, great idea using {categories limit="1"} for the “Posted in:” portion of the list. That worked perfectly. Thanks Robin.

Glad to see Robin squared you away there. Please don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
