Daily contents with txp:if_different

One of the newer conditional tags added to Textpattern on the 958 revision – <txp:if_different> – allows to display date based contents in our sites without trouble.

Let say we want to display a date based header into our articles lists, which must be shown only if the day changes from one article to the next one. This can be easily achieved by placing exactly the same code Alex wrote two days ago into our article form:

<txp:if_different>
<!-- heading - only once per day -->
<h3><txp:posted format="%d %B %Y" /></h3>
</txp:if_different>

  2. I’ve tested it. First with my own code and then with copy and paste from the example. It doesn’t work this way! The daily div contains only the first article of the day, other articles of this day will published outside this div.

  3. You’re right thomas. Just removed the second example and trying to find a workaround for that on the meanwhile.

    Thanks!.

  5. But what if you want a monthly view, e.g. all posts under November? Could this be achieved without a plugin? TIA
