smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

philwareham · 2010-06-07 13:31:45

Hi, I want to increment a number in some javascript (it’s a custom navigation system for a jQuery Cycle gallery) wrapped inside an article tag depending on how many articles are listed (up to a maximum of 15), I think I could use smd_if for this task but don’t know how to implement it. The resulting code would be for example:

$('#article3').click(function(){$('.cycle').cycle(0);return false;});
$('#article7').click(function(){$('.cycle').cycle(1);return false;});
$('#article9').click(function(){$('.cycle').cycle(2);return false;});
$('#article13').click(function(){$('.cycle').cycle(3);return false;});
etc..

It’s the .cycle(0) part of the javascript that I would need to increase, through .cycle(1) up to .cycle(14) if there are 15 articles. Here is my code so far…

<txp:article limit="15">
     $('#article<txp:article_id />').click(function(){$('.cycle').cycle(0);return false;});
</txp:article>

Is there a way of doing that? Something like .cycle(<txp:smd_if … blah blah

You’re probably better off with rvm_counter, adi_calc or aks_var for this job.

Thanks perfect – used adi_calc as suggested, thanks Steph.

Here is final working code:

<txp:variable name="cycleinc" value="0" />
<txp:article limit="15">
     $('#article<txp:article_id />').click(function(){$('.cycle').cycle(<txp:adi_calc name="cycleinc" display="1" />);return false;});
<txp:adi_calc name="cycleinc" add="1" />
</txp:article>

I need to be able to execute an anchor tag (turn some text in to a link) if, and only if, the custom field data from the article in which it appears is also in another article. Only one custom field to check here; the value must appear in more than one article so that links to lists of articles with this value are created automatically.

Seems like txp:smd_if is up to the challenge, but I’m new to it and I can’t think of how to use it properly to accomplish this. Any ideas?

EDIT: Repost from “How do I?” forum. Couldn’t get any help there.

Do you know this “another article” that you want to check for a value in the custom field? or “another article” is just “any other article”?

I think I get what you’re doing but I’m not quite sure so I’ll hedge my bets here a bit. If it’s not quite right, the ideas in this example will probably get you moving in the right direction.

<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_custom_field name="link_thingy">

  <txp:variable name="link_to_find"><txp:custom_field name="link_thingy" /></txp:variable>
  <txp:variable name="got_one" value="0" />

   <txp:article_custom>
      <txp:smd_if field="txpvar:got_one, body" operator="eq, contains" value="0, txpvar:link_to_find">
         <txp:hide> If we found a matching article, store its URL and bomb out </txp:hide>
         <txp:variable name="got_one" value='<txp:permlink />' />
      </txp:smd_if>
   </txp:article_custom>

   <txp:if_variable name="got_one" value="0">
      <txp:custom_field name="link_thingy" />
   <txp:else />
      <a href="<txp:variable name="got_one" />"><txp:custom_field name="link_thingy" /></a>
   </txp:if_variable>

</txp:if_custom_field>
</txp:if_individual_article>

It just grabs the custom field data you want to check from the current article and then uses an article_custom to iterate over every article until you find one that contains the custom field data in the body text. If it finds one, it stops looking (well, sort of!). Once it’s done with the article_custom it checks to see if it found a matching article and links to it. If not, it just displays the raw custom field value.

It’s untested and it’s not quick, but should work. I think. As your site grows you might be better off with smd_query.

Any other article. Stef’s example code does basically what I want. It checks the value in the custom field of this current individual article against the same field in all other articles.

My only problem, Stef, is that your code always returns a link so it seems to be checking the current article and, naturally, always finding the value its looking for. I think it would work perfectly if there is a good way to exclude checking the current article in the article custom call.

EDIT: I also had the thought that <txp:article_custom /> allows restricting to articles with a specified custom field name so I tried this:

<txp:article_custom director="txpvar:link_to_find">

with director being the name of the custom_field I’m checking but that didn’t work.

Ah, didn’t think of that. Yeah, that could screw things up a bit.

Add this line to the declaration section along with the other txp:variables:

<txp:variable name="this_id" value='<txp:article_id />' />

and then use this smd_if line instead:

<txp:smd_if field="thisid, txpvar:got_one, body" operator="not, eq, contains" value="txpvar:this_id, 0, txpvar:link_to_find">

See if that works.

th3lonius · 2010-06-15 12:51:11

It doesn’t work. The link remains on every article and every one receives the current article’s permlink from the operation.

Hi Stef,
I use smd_if for render a part of an article (which is populated with custom fields) but it doesn’t work.
I don’t know where is the bug.
Can you help me?
This is my code:

<txp:smd_if field="variante-1, variante-2, variante-3" operator="isused" logic="or">
<div id="bottom-details">
<h4>Varianti</h4>
<div id="product-models">

<txp:if_custom_field name="variante-1">
<div class="model">
<div class="model-code">
<p>Articolo <txp:custom_field name="variante-1" /></p>
</div><!-- model-code -->
<div class="model-desc">
<txp:upm_textile>
<txp:custom_field name="descrizione-1" />
</txp:upm_textile>
</div><!-- model-desc -->
</div><!-- model -->
</txp:if_custom_field>

<txp:if_custom_field name="variante-2">
<div class="model">
<div class="model-code">
<p>Articolo <txp:custom_field name="variante-2" /></p>
</div><!-- model-code -->
<div class="model-desc">
<txp:upm_textile>
<txp:custom_field name="descrizione-2" />
</txp:upm_textile>
</div><!-- model-desc -->
</div><!-- model -->
</txp:if_custom_field>

<txp:if_custom_field name="variante-3">
<div class="model">
<div class="model-code">
<p>Articolo <txp:custom_field name="variante-3" /></p>
</div><!-- model-code -->
<div class="model-desc">
<txp:upm_textile>
<txp:custom_field name="descrizione-3" />
</txp:upm_textile>
</div><!-- model-desc -->
</div><!-- model -->
</txp:if_custom_field>

</div><!-- product-models -->
</div><!-- bottom-details -->
</txp:smd_if>

Bloker: how do I use this to simply test for the existence of multiple values as opposed to a single value. I tried using this:

<txp:smd_if field="article_image" operator="contains" value="," >

to no avail…

any suggestions

maniqui · 2010-08-06 00:45:20

hi Dale,

try <txp:smd_if field="article_image" operator="contains" value="," param_delim=";">.
That should work.

mrdale · 2010-08-06 01:35:52

Ok that worked. Muchas Gracias Señor.

The problem was compounded a double escaping that I neglected…

NicolasGraph · 2010-08-15 14:51:35

Hi,

Is it possible to compare the parent attribute to several values without repeating the attribute ?

Thanks for your answers

I haven’t tried, but it should be possible. Example 6 in the plugin help shows how to short circuit the field attribute. If you use the parent instead the same logic should apply. Or perhaps you could use the in operator if you are only checking if the field is one of a set of values?

EDIT: Except I forgot the parent attribute works differently to everything else. Hmmm…
