Weird, it works on my test page using smd_if v0.74. If you put debug="1" (or 2) on, do you get any indication why it might be failing the tests?

I have, however, uncovered a bug when using it this way round. For some reason, I have not escaped bad chars like apostrophes (stupid mistake I’ll have to hunt down) so if you have any apostrophes or other deal-breaking characters in your captions, the test will fail. In site debugging mode you’ll see a horrible error message. I will fix that.

By the way, this didn’t work either: <txp:smd_if field=”{title}” operator=“isempty”>…

No, sadly it won’t. The plugin will just cry if it sees an empty title. This is a known limitation and is documented.

Supports most major article, file, image and link variables

Ah, yes, that last one won’t work (yet) either because true image support isn’t built into the core yet. Remember my image patch I’m slowly refining? smd_if has jumped the gun and knows about the $thisimage variable (ruud has indicated it will likely become a reserved variable at some stage in the product).

Put simply, inside a hypothetical image_list tag in a future version of TXP, you could test the caption on your default ‘images’ form as it rendered each matching image. Sadly, none of that functionality exists right now so your last example is looking at the article for a field called ‘caption’ (which doesn’t exist) so the test fails.

I’m curious about the reason your NULL example doesn’t work, though. If you have any more info that might help me track it down I’d appreciate it.

Voilà! The caption had some double quotes and that was the problem. Sorry for not have testing further to arrive to this conclusion by myself.

Yes, I forgot to say “as documented”. :)
I usually RTFM, even in your plugins where help are like a Bible :D.
Funny documentation btw.

As said above, the double quotes didn’t have mercy with your plugins. By the way, I’m also processing the caption with upm_textile so textile can be used on captions. But I think that isn’t related to our problem at all. Or may be?

This is the form as I’m using it now:

  <txp:smd_if field="NULL" operator="not" value="{title}">
  <div class="panel-column text-column">
    <div class="panel-text">
        <txp:upm_textile>{title}</txp:upm_textile>
    </div><!-- .panel-text -->
  </div><!-- .text-column -->
  </txp:smd_if>

Hello,

I was wonderig if this can work

<smd_if field=month operator=eq value=“2005-04, 2005-05”>
<txp:article limit=“1” form=“dagboek” sort=“Posted asc” />
<txp:ob1_pagination outputlastfirst =“0” outputnextprevious=“0” />
<else>
<txp:article limit=“5” form=“dagboek” sort=“Posted asc” />
< /smd_if>

Regards,

Roelof

To achieve what, exactly?

If you wish to check if the ?month variable in the URL is either 2005-04 or 2005-05 then you would need this:

<txp:smd_if field="urlvar:month, urlvar:month" operator="eq, eq" value="2005-04, 2005-05" logic="or">
  <txp:article limit="1" form="dagboek" sort="Posted asc" />
  <txp:ob1_pagination outputlastfirst ="0" outputnextprevious="0" />
<txp:else>
  <txp:article limit="5" form="dagboek" sort="Posted asc" />
</txp:smd_if>

Otherwise, I’m not quite sure what it is you are trying to do. Please elaborate if that is not it.

EDIT: or use the new in operator like this:

<txp:smd_if field="urlvar:month" operator="in" value="2005-04/2005-05">

EDIT2: add txp: in front of the plugin name ;-)

Hoi Bloke,

It’s correct that i want to check the value of the month variable in the url.
One question : Can i nest it ?

You can’t nest smd_if calls under TXP 4.0.6, no. The same as all other tags. That’s partly the reason I added the in operator (see Edit in above post), so you could check multiple values without nesting. Under 4.0.7 the nesting restriction is lifted.

Thank you for the help en tips.

Hoi Bloke,

I have a problem.

I use this in my page template :

<txp:if_section name=”,default”>
<txp:if_category name=“zwangerschap,jaar1,jaar2,jaar3,jaar4”>
<smd_if field=“urlvar:month” operator=“in” value=“2005-04”>
<txp:article limit=“1” form=“dagboek” sort=“Posted asc” />
<txp:ob1_pagination outputlastfirst =“0” outputnextprevious=“0” />
</smd_if>
<smd_if field=“urlvar:month” operator=“in” value=“2005-02, “2005-03”>
<txp:article limit=“5” form=“dagboek” sort=“Posted asc” />
</smd_if>
<txp:else />
<txp:article_custom section=“voorpagina” form=“default” />
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_section>

But if i look in the tag trace the plugin isn’t doing one thing.
I have enabled it in the plugin sections.

Do you have any idea why nothing happens with the plugin.

You need to add txp: in front of the smd_if plugin name ;-)

Sorry, I didn’t spot that when I copy n pasted your example, I’ve gone back and fixed the code in my post.

oke,

Still one problem.

I changed everything to :
bc.<txp:if_section name=”,default”>
<txp:if_category name=“zwangerschap,jaar1,jaar2,jaar3,jaar4”>
<txp:smd_if field=“urlvar:month” operator=“in” value=“2005-04”>
<txp:article limit=“1” form=“dagboek” sort=“Posted asc” />
<txp:ob1_pagination outputlastfirst =“0” outputnextprevious=“0” />
</txp:smd_if>
<txp:smd_if field=“urlvar:month” operator=“in” value=“2005-02, “2005-03”>
<txp:article limit=“5” form=“dagboek” sort=“Posted asc” />
</txpsmd_if>
<txp:else />
<txp:article_custom section=“voorpagina” form=“default” />
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_section>

But now i get this messages :

Not sure if this is related to your problem, but there is a
</txpsmd_if> (the : is missing)
in your code

roelof · 2008-11-14 19:45:34

Thank you,

You can see it works (http://test2.tamarawobben.nl

roelof · 2008-11-15 13:53:58

i have another problem.

I have this url :
http://test2.tamarawobben.nl/?c=zwangerschap&month=2005-04

the next pages have this url :

http://test2.tamarawobben.nl/?pg=2&s=default&c=zwangerschap&month=2005-04

Now i thought that i can use this to determine how many articles must be on the first page.

<txp:smd_if field=“urlvar:month, urlvar:pg” operator=“in,isempty” value=“2005-04”, >
<txp:article limit=“1” form=“dagboek” sort=“Posted asc” />

<txp:ob1_pagination outputlastfirst =“0” outputnextprevious=“0” liselected=“here” />
</txp:smd_if>

But it doesn’t work.

Can you tell me why ?

Assuming the extra comma and space at the end of the tag isn’t making it break…

That statement says:

IF the ?month variable is 2005-04 AND the ?pg variable is defined but has no value (i.e. http://some/url?pg=) THEN show the article and ob1_pagination. Otherwise, don’t show anything.

Is that what you want to achieve?

I don’t know if you can ‘determine’ how many articles to put on the front page, since TXP determines that for you based on how many articles (in total) are in the category and the value to which you set the limit attribute.

what i want to achieve is :

If month=2005-04 and there’s no page (http://test2.tamarawobben.nl/?c=zwangerschap&month=2005-04) then show one article.
and after that i want if month=2005-04 and page=2 then show 3 articles.

I want to detirme if i have this url (http://test2.tamarawobben.nl/?c=zwangerschap&month=2005-04) or this one : http://test2.tamarawobben.nl/?pg=2&s=default&c=zwangerschap&month=2005-04.
One have a pg variable the other don’t have this.
