if_custom_field hiccups

gerhard · 2006-04-04 17:16:30

The following code sometimes works and sometimes not (?!?):

<txp:ign_if_logged_in> <txp:if_custom_field name=“Dealer Price”> <del>£<txp:custom_field name=“Normal Price” /></del> £<txp:custom_field name=“Dealer Price” /> <txp:else /> £<txp:custom_field name=“Normal Price” /> </txp:if_custom_field>
</txp:ign_if_logged_in>
</pre>

Any ideas?

Are you using the above within an article form and calling it with the article tag?

gerhard · 2006-04-05 08:47:33

Yes Mary, I’m using it in an article form and calling it like this <code><txp:article form=“shop_single” limit=“10” listform=“shop_list” /></code>.

What vexes me is that for some articles it displays the custom fields and for others it doesn’t (all of them have data in custom fields).

Cheers Mary, Gerhard.

No more input on this one? Is there a link I could follow Mary to find out where I’m going wrong with my current approach? Cheers.

I’m not sure. A stab in the dark: maybe it’s because of listform (no, it shouldn’t do that). What happens if you replace the above with:

<txp:if_individual_article>
	<txp:article limit="10" form="shop_single" />
<txp:else />
	<txp:article limit="10" form="shop_list" />
</txp:if_individual_article>

Anything change?

There may be two issues according to your code:

1. If not logged in and there’s no “normal price” custom field, nothing is output.
2. If logged in and there’s no “dealer price” and no “normal price” custom field, nothing is output, either.

Yes Mary, you were right, now it works. Getting my head around those conditionals I suppose… : ).

Since we’re already @ it, I have this other grief. It’s a misc article form:
<pre> <txp:if_section name=“archives”> <?php if ($_GET[‘by’] == ‘cat’) { ?> <txp:rss_suparchive_bycat section=“blog” linktosection=“blog” /> <?php } else if ($_GET[‘by’] == ‘date’) { ?> <txp:rss_suparchive section=“blog” linktosection=“blog” datesep=” » “ showdate=“1” /> <?php } ?> <txp:else /> <txp:if_individual_article> <txp:article limit=“1” /> <txp:else /> <txp:php>if ($GLOBALS[‘c’]) { article(array(“limit”=>“10”)); } else { article(array(“limit”=>“3”));}</txp:php> </txp:if_individual_article> </txp:if_section>
</pre>

Everything is fine until it hits the <code>article()</code> bit. As you could imagine, there is no output on the page. Am I missing something (again)?

You need to have those functions echoed: echo article(array("limit"=>"10"));, and so on.

gerhard · 2006-04-13 07:01:56

Hmmm, that is strange. article() already uses return so why use echo? Anyways, it did work with print but not with echo. Cheers Mary ; ), Gerhard.

Mary · 2006-04-14 04:55:56

Because that’s the nature of the return statement. :)

In UK they call it a lollie. How do they call it in Canada? : )
