I am attempting to create a different template for the news/topic module *if* allstories equals 1. Before I started using Xanthia, I hard-coded another function in my theme.php and in the News module.

Is there a way to create a new function in Xanthia other than themeindex and themearticle?

Or is it possible to do this in my News-index.htm template? I attempted this:

Code

<!--[if allstories eq 1]-->
<li><span class="pn-normal"><strong><!--[$preformat.catandtitle]--></strong> - <!--[pnml name=_POSTEDBY]-->: <!--[$info.informant]--> <!--[pnml name=_ON]--> <!--[$info.briefdatetime]--> - <!--[$info.counter]--> reads</span></li>
<!--[else]-->
<!-- Begin article -->more stuff  <!--[/if]-->

but it didn't work - assuming since there's not a Xanthia tag for that?
I also tried this as noted in another thread:

Code

<!--[pnvarcleanfrominput name="module" assign=module]-->
<!--[if $module == 'Topic']-->blah blah 
<!--[else]-->stuff  <!--[/if]-->

I only want this if the URL is http://www.nukesite.com/Topic*all.html (where all news stories are listed).

pnvarcleanfrominput fetches parameters from the URL. So if you are looking for the value of the parameter "allstories" you should use that name:

Code

<!--[pnvarcleanfrominput name='allstories' assign='allstories']-->
<!--[if $allstories == 1]-->
  blah blah 
<!--[else]-->
  stuff  
<!--[/if]-->
