Textpattern Support Forum

so yeah, if you want to see the plugin at work, it’s up at my site: intensify.org/movies

Alexandra, try out this example, it may help:

<p>Question: what is your favourite kind of dark carbonated beverage?</p>

<ul>
	<li><a href="?soda=root-beer">A&amp;W Root Beer</a></li>
	<li><a href="?soda=coke">Coca-Cola</a></li>
	<li><a href="?soda=pepsi">Pepsi</a></li>
</ul>

<txp:chs_urlvar_default var="soda">

	<txp:chs_if_urlvar var="soda" value="root-beer">
		<p>Your answer: A&amp;W Root Beer Root Beer</p>
	</txp:chs_if_urlvar>

	<txp:chs_if_urlvar var="soda" value="coke">
		<p>Your answer: Coca-Cola</p>
	</txp:chs_if_urlvar>

	<txp:chs_if_urlvar var="soda" value="pepsi">
		<p>Your answer: Pepsi</p>
	</txp:chs_if_urlvar>

</txp:chs_urlvar_default>

Edit: corrected code

is it possible to use this plugin with messy urls?

on IIS and the plugin doesn’t work with the IIS clean URL hack…

You’ll need to talk to the plugin’s creator to fix it, but, if you change your production status from debugging Textpattern will hide those notices.

</txp:chs_urlvar_default>

Why this doesn’t work for me.

I always get this errors:

<code>
tag_error <txp:chs_urlvar_default var=“soda”> -> Notice: Undefined index: soda on line 8
tag_error <txp:chs_if_urlvar var=“soda” value=“root-beer”> -> Notice: Undefined index: soda on line 3
tag_error <txp:chs_if_urlvar var=“soda” value=“coke”> -> Notice: Undefined index: soda on line 3
tag_error <txp:chs_if_urlvar var=“soda” value=“pepsi”> -> Notice: Undefined index: soda on line 3
</code>

First of all, it shouldn’t work, since chs_urlvar_default will only activate if the variable is not passed to the page. Thus, if the chs_if_urlvar tags are reached, you know that the value of “soda” is null. If you change chs_urlvar_default to chs_urlvar_exists it will work.

As for the debug messages, they can be solved too. I’ll look into them when I’m slightly more awake.
