Custom fields, txp:if and txp:else
Hello,
I have took and example from Textbook and I have adapted it but it doesn’t work.
<strong>Autor</strong>:
<txp:if_custom_field name=“Autor”>
<txp:custom_field name=“Autor” />
<txp:else /><txp:author link=“0” this_section=“0” /></txp:if_custom_field>
<br/>
Only appears <txp:author link=“0” this_section=“0” /> insted of <txp:custom_field name=“Autor” />
Something wrong ?
I can’t find the error. Textpattern says that everything it’s ok (No errors).
Thanks.

<br/>This code looks ok to me. There are certain reserved names that should not be used to name custom fields, but Autor is not one of them, so the name can’t be the problem.
Are you absolutely sure that your custom field is not empty? Is the name of the custom field exactly Autor (with capital)?
Otherwise, you can have a look at the tag trace (as described in this FAQ). You can also post the tag trace here, so we can have a look at it.

Re: Custom fields, txp:if and txp:else
The field is not empty and the name it’s OK.
I have turn off plugins,
This is the code that calls the form.
The other code was in default form.
<txp:article_custom limit="5" pgonly="0" section="articles" sort="Posted desc" status="4" />
This is my tag trace.

Re: Custom fields, txp:if and txp:else
[<txp:if_custom_field name="Autor">: false]It definitely says ‘false’… I hate to repeat myself but are you really, absolutely sure that the custom field ‘Autor’ is filled for your article #1?
Does it work when you use another custom field (with another name)?

Re: Custom fields, txp:if and txp:else
I have changed the field’s name to autor_externo and it works perfectly. Could be the capital letter ?
Maybe a bug?
Thanks.

Definitely not. From the textbook entry on custom_field
Custom names may include letters (uppercase or lowercase), numbers and under_scores, but no spaces or other special characters. There are certain names reserved by Textpattern, which should not be used to name custom fields. They include: thisid, posted, annotate, comments_invite, authorid, title, url_title, category1, category2, section, keywords, article_image, comments_count, body, excerpt, and status.
And Autor isn’t among. Odd! Maybe you’ve had an unnoticed blank after it? We’ll never know :)

Re: Custom fields, txp:if and txp:else
That’s strange, TextBook says this:
Custom names may include letters (uppercase or lowercase), numbers and under_scores, but no spaces or other special characters.
I’ll move this topic to Developer Support, so a dev can shed some light on this.
But I’m glad you got it to work :)
Edit: ah, Uli was faster :)
