txp:msv_link

Usage

The msv_link is a single tag extending txp:link with attributes. The main idea was to add target attribute but then I decided to open the tag for all attributes.

Attributes

Any attribute is allowed (except href, which is suplied from a database) so be careful what you use there.
Common attributes for <a> are: target, style, class, rel, rev...

Examples

<txp:msv_link target="_blank" class="mylinkstyle" rel="alternate" />

msv_if_custom_article_date

Classification

The msv_if_custom_article_date tag is a Conditional Tag, and therefore a Container Tag, as all conditional tags are container tags. The tag will execute the contained statement if a date set in a specified custom field is greater/less/greaterequal/lessequal/equal/notequal compared to a date set in the tag.

Syntax

The tag has the following syntactic structure:
<txp:msv_if_custom_article_date> ...your content here... </txp:msv_if_custom_article_date>

Attributes

• is="greater/less/greaterequal/lessequal/equal/notequal" (default 'equal')
• date="date in format dd.mm.yyyy" (default is today)
• customfield="number of a custom field with a date associated to article" (default '1')
• dateseparator="a character that separates day, month and year in a date string" (default '.')

Other notes

• In case the specified custom field is empty, the contained statement will be executed.
• Date in a custom field should be in format dd.mm.yyyy

Examples

Classical 'publish until date' condition
The article will be published until date specified in the custom field number 4 (date in format 'dd.mm.yyyy').
<txp:msv_if_custom_article_date is="greaterequal" customfield="4"> ArticleContent </txp:msv_if_custom_article_date>

More complicated example
The _Content_ will be published if date specified in the custom field number 1 (date in format 'dd-mm-yyyy') is less than 11th November 2006 (date in format 'dd-mm-yyyy').
<txp:msv_if_custom_article_date is="less" customfield="1" dateseparator="-" date="11-11-2006"> Content </txp:msv_if_custom_article_date>
