smd_if: Generic multiple if condition tests

wornout · 2010-06-22 15:14:17

Hi Stef,
I use smd_if for render a part of an article (which is populated with custom fields) but it doesn’t work.
I don’t know where is the bug.
Can you help me?
This is my code:

<txp:smd_if field="variante-1, variante-2, variante-3" operator="isused" logic="or">
<div id="bottom-details">
<h4>Varianti</h4>
<div id="product-models">

<txp:if_custom_field name="variante-1">
<div class="model">
<div class="model-code">
<p>Articolo <txp:custom_field name="variante-1" /></p>
</div><!-- model-code -->
<div class="model-desc">
<txp:upm_textile>
<txp:custom_field name="descrizione-1" />
</txp:upm_textile>
</div><!-- model-desc -->
</div><!-- model -->
</txp:if_custom_field>

<txp:if_custom_field name="variante-2">
<div class="model">
<div class="model-code">
<p>Articolo <txp:custom_field name="variante-2" /></p>
</div><!-- model-code -->
<div class="model-desc">
<txp:upm_textile>
<txp:custom_field name="descrizione-2" />
</txp:upm_textile>
</div><!-- model-desc -->
</div><!-- model -->
</txp:if_custom_field>

<txp:if_custom_field name="variante-3">
<div class="model">
<div class="model-code">
<p>Articolo <txp:custom_field name="variante-3" /></p>
</div><!-- model-code -->
<div class="model-desc">
<txp:upm_textile>
<txp:custom_field name="descrizione-3" />
</txp:upm_textile>
</div><!-- model-desc -->
</div><!-- model -->
</txp:if_custom_field>

</div><!-- product-models -->
</div><!-- bottom-details -->
</txp:smd_if>

Bloker: how do I use this to simply test for the existence of multiple values as opposed to a single value. I tried using this:

<txp:smd_if field="article_image" operator="contains" value="," >

to no avail…

any suggestions

hi Dale,

try <txp:smd_if field="article_image" operator="contains" value="," param_delim=";">.
That should work.

mrdale · 2010-08-06 01:35:52

Ok that worked. Muchas Gracias Señor.

The problem was compounded a double escaping that I neglected…

Hi,

Is it possible to compare the parent attribute to several values without repeating the attribute ?

Thanks for your answers

I haven’t tried, but it should be possible. Example 6 in the plugin help shows how to short circuit the field attribute. If you use the parent instead the same logic should apply. Or perhaps you could use the in operator if you are only checking if the field is one of a set of values?

EDIT: Except I forgot the parent attribute works differently to everything else. Hmmm…

Sob…

I’ve tried so hard to work out how to do this simple (I am sure) test, trawled many pages of threads and the docs Stef kindly provides, but to no avail.

If anyone can put me out of my misery I would be very grateful.

I have a custom field, called, exactly: Fluffy dog this custom field is number 39 (using glz_custom_fields).

The field is of type ‘Select’ and is either null (not set) or has the value Yes.

I have tried to write an smd_if statement to check for Yes and I can’t seem to work out how to represent the name of the field — I actually have more logic to build with this but until I can work out the syntax, I’m not going there ;)

This works <txp:custom_field name="Fluffy dog" /> insomuch as it outputs Yes, but in the following attempts/tests all evaluate to nothing (no error, just no Yes):

<txp:smd_if field="custom39" operator="eq" value="Yes">Yes</txp:smd_if>
<txp:smd_if field="custom_39" operator="eq" value="Yes">Yes</txp:smd_if>
<txp:smd_if field="custom 39" operator="eq" value="Yes">Yes</txp:smd_if>
<txp:smd_if field="fluffy_dog" operator="eq" value="Yes">Yes</txp:smd_if>
<txp:smd_if field="Fluffy Dog" operator="eq" value="Yes">Yes</txp:smd_if>

I’ve also tried using "eq:NOSPACE" in case this was relevant, but to no avail.

ANY help, much appreciated. Cheers, -Alan

Alan, I don’t think you need a plugin for your issue.

<txp:if_custom_field name="Fluffy dog" val="Yes">
    <p>Yes, doggy is Fluffy.</p>
<txp:else />
    <p>Nope, shaggy dog!</p>
</txp:if_custom_field>

Thanks Uli, you’re right! For my test case ;)

I actually have more logic to build with this but until I can work out the syntax, I’m not going there ;)

So once I get how to use custom fields with smd_if, I will be building more complex logic to work out some stuff here — only I dare not even start since I cannot get this simple test-case use to work (due to my inability to understand documentation I am sure).

Have you tried renaming the cf to a space-less name? If you need the space for proper looks for your client, there’s bot_cf_titles (Hm, haven’t got a link lying around. If you need it, I’ll mail you a copy.)

alanfluff · 2010-09-15 18:23:58

Hi Uli, I think I have, I’ll try it again tho — I have over 40 fields and I am hoping I dont’ have to rename then all — kinda hoping there’s a simple, plugin-free solution for using smd_if with custom fields where the titles include spaces and/or mixed case.

I’ll keep testing in case I missed a combination that suddenly works.

Cheers, -Alan

Alan,

Custom names may include letters (uppercase or lowercase), numbers and under_scores, but no spaces or other special characters.
