Re: smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

Can I do something like this?

<txp:smd_if field="urlvar:foo, urlvar:foo2" logic="and" operator="undefined">
  // View all articles here
<txp:else />
  <txp:smd_if value="urlvar:foo" operator="isused">
    // View subset of articles based on value of foo here
  </txp:smd_if>
  <txp:smd_if value="urlvar:foo2" operator="isused">
    // View subset of articles based on value of foo2 here
  </txp:smd_if>
</txp:smd_if>

With v0.91, yes. Note that you may have to put the operator in twice in the first line:

<txp:smd_if field="urlvar:foo, urlvar:foo2" operator="undefined, undefined">
...

I’m not sure if it short circuits the operators or not, I can’t remember. Either way you don’t need logic="and" because that’s default behaviour.

An alternative construct, in theory to do the same thing:

<txp:smd_if field="urlvar:foo, urlvar:foo2" logic="or" operator="defined, defined">
  <txp:smd_if value="urlvar:foo" operator="isused">
    // View subset of articles based on value of foo here
  </txp:smd_if>
  <txp:smd_if value="urlvar:foo2" operator="isused">
    // View subset of articles based on value of foo2 here
  </txp:smd_if>
<txp:else />
  // View all articles here
</txp:smd_if>

Re: smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

Hi,

I’m having troubled using this tag with a multi-select field defined using glz_custom_fields.

The field name is called Utilizzo and the options are:

Professionale
Educazione
Tempo-libero

In an article I have opted for the first two.

If I use <txp:smd_if field="Utilizzo" operator="contains" value="Professionale" >This is a test</txp:smd_if> I don’t get anything displayed.

If I change the field type to Select, than it works.

If I just display the value of the field using <txp:custom_field name="Utilizzo"/> I get: Educazione|Professionale

Any ideas?

Re: smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

I’d say it might be an upper/lowercase issue. If you hadn’t written this:

If I change the field type to Select, than it works.

On the other hand: the field type is saved in the txp_prefs table. Where (I’d bet any amount) smd_if never goes looking for its evaluations.

Re: smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

If you hadn’t written this: If I change the field type to Select, than it works.

Presumably it’s because you can’t choose multiple options with a normal select so there will be only one item and no | in the custom field value. In effect the operator contains is then eq.

I can’t immediately see why it’s not working either, unless the pipe (|) is being (mis)interpreted as an operator. Not sure if upper/lowercase should be an issue as smd_if is by default case-insensitive, although you can set that with the case_sensitive operator.

You might also want to try stripping out the | from the field by using smd_if’s filter attribute. I’ve not tried it but maybe:

<txp:smd_if field="Utilizzo" operator="contains" value="Professionale" filter="/[^a-zA-Z]+/" replace=" ">
   This is a test
</txp:smd_if>

If I’ve not made a mistake that should replace anything that is not A-Z or a-z in the field with a space…

Re: smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

Hi,

I changed the field name and options to all lower case and it works (without jakob’s filter).

Not sure why.. but I’m happy :)

Thanks for your help!

Re: smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

For the record (and maybe for the help documents too).

  • id is always the id of current page’s article (i.e. the id of current individual article)
  • thisid is the id of current context article. For example, in an article_custom loop, thisid takes the value of the article currently being iterated.

For example, if you need to simulate txp:if_article_id, using smd_if, it would be like this:

<txp:smd_if field="thisid" operator="eq" value="?id">

The advantage of this one over txp:if_article_id is that you could check for other conditions, using logic="OR".

Re: smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

I’m not sure if I understand how the parent value for field attribute works. I’m not even sure if I needed for what I’m trying to achieve:
Is it possible to test if current (global) category has no children? I don’t think I need to traverse up the category tree for that, but I may be missing something.

Re: smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

Hi, a quick question.
How I should use it if I want to know if a body or excerpt article has content or not ?

I was using <txp:chh_if_data> but it does not work / comply when the output is less than 39 characters :| (unless when I’m displaying articles from a specific category)

<txp:chh_if_data>
<txp:article_custom form="body" pgonly="0" limit="1" section='<txp:section />' sort="Posted asc" status="5" category='<txp:category title="0" />' />
<txp:else/>
<p>NO THERE CONTENT IN BODY ARTICLE</p>
</txp:chh_if_data>

Thanks

Re: smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

Without plugin?

<txp:variable name="checkcheck"><txp:article_custom form="body" limit="1" section='<txp:section />' sort="Posted asc" status="sticky" category='<txp:category title="0" />' /></txp:variable>
<txp:if_variable name="checkcheck" value="">
   <p>NO THERE CONTENT IN BODY ARTICLE</p>
<txp:else/>
   <txp:variable name="checkcheck" />
</txp:if_variable>

status 5 is sticky, right? (No further proofreading done.)

Re: smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

Or:

<txp:if_custom_field name="body">
	something
<txp:else />
	other thing
</txp:if_custom_field>
