if_variable not matching

My if_variable conditions don’t seem to be working, they never match the value properly. The textpattern tracing indicates it always evaluates false!

<txp:variable name="page_url" value="<txp:page_url/>"/>
<txp:if_variable name="page_url" value="/products/"/>
   <!-- this is never emitted -->
</txp:if_variable>

I have confirmed that page_url has the value: /products/ because emitting the variable to the output html.

Re: if_variable not matching

Hi Mark,

when nesting txp tags, use single quotes:

<txp:variable name="page_url" value='<txp:page_url/>' />

BTW, you have also txp:if_section for testing sections.

Re: if_variable not matching

Aha! Thanks very much for the single quotes guidance.

Using txp:if_section won’t work for me because I’m not just testing for a section, I’m trying to test for a section home. There is another thread on this topic
