The forms shall be used by the settings of custom field value ...
Hello
I’ve the following problem:
<txp:if_custom_field name="x">
<txp:output_form form="<txp:custom_field name="x" />-y" />
</txp:if_custom_field>If a special custum-field (name x) holds a value i.e. the Letter A, then the output-form A-y shall be used, otherwiese no.
But this formular does not work. Does anyone have an idea?
Best regards
Wolfgang

You don’t need the output_form there, try just the custom_field tag and see what you get.
<txp:if_custom_field name="x">
<txp:custom_field name="x" />-y
</txp:if_custom_field>Offline

Ok, then I get the text A-y and not the content which is stored in the form with the name A-y

Have you tried single quotes?
<txp:output_form form='<txp:custom_field name="x" />-y' />Last edited by thebombsite (2008-12-25 11:41:00)

Ah I see. You can use the new if_variable tag:
<txp:variable name="custom_field_x" value='<txp:custom_field name="x" />-y' />Put that first, then:
<txp:if_variable name="custom_field_x" value="">
<txp:custom_field name="x" />-y
</txp:if_variable>See if that works. You’ll need 4.07 of course!

<txp:output_form form='<txp:custom_field name="x" />-y' />This will produce the result:
-y' />And the other part, you are right, I shall update the version.

Wolfgang, if you are using 4.06 neither of the two methods will work. Can you update first and then try both methods, and let us know what works/does not work?

@Wolfgang,
your first example is ok. As bombsite said (but he did wrote it incorrectly) use single quotes:
So, this should work (on 4.0.7):
<txp:if_custom_field name="x">
<txp:output_form form='<txp:custom_field name="x" />-y' />
</txp:if_custom_field>Last edited by maniqui (2008-12-25 14:53:22)
