Thanks Stef!

Hi,

I’m having troubled using this tag with a multi-select field defined using glz_custom_fields.

The field name is called Utilizzo and the options are:

Professionale
Educazione
Tempo-libero

In an article I have opted for the first two.

If I use <txp:smd_if field="Utilizzo" operator="contains" value="Professionale" >This is a test</txp:smd_if> I don’t get anything displayed.

If I change the field type to Select, than it works.

If I just display the value of the field using <txp:custom_field name="Utilizzo"/> I get: Educazione|Professionale

Any ideas?

I’d say it might be an upper/lowercase issue. If you hadn’t written this:

If I change the field type to Select, than it works.

On the other hand: the field type is saved in the txp_prefs table. Where (I’d bet any amount) smd_if never goes looking for its evaluations.

If you hadn’t written this: If I change the field type to Select, than it works. …

Presumably it’s because you can’t choose multiple options with a normal select so there will be only one item and no | in the custom field value. In effect the operator contains is then eq.

I can’t immediately see why it’s not working either, unless the pipe (|) is being (mis)interpreted as an operator. Not sure if upper/lowercase should be an issue as smd_if is by default case-insensitive, although you can set that with the case_sensitive operator.

You might also want to try stripping out the | from the field by using smd_if’s filter attribute. I’ve not tried it but maybe:

<txp:smd_if field="Utilizzo" operator="contains" value="Professionale" filter="/[^a-zA-Z]+/" replace=" ">
   This is a test
</txp:smd_if>

If I’ve not made a mistake that should replace anything that is not A-Z or a-z in the field with a space…

Hi,

I changed the field name and options to all lower case and it works (without jakob’s filter).

Not sure why.. but I’m happy :)

Thanks for your help!

For the record (and maybe for the help documents too).

id is always the id of current page’s article (i.e. the id of current individual article)
thisid is the id of current context article. For example, in an article_custom loop, thisid takes the value of the article currently being iterated.

For example, if you need to simulate txp:if_article_id, using smd_if, it would be like this:

<txp:smd_if field="thisid" operator="eq" value="?id">

The advantage of this one over txp:if_article_id is that you could check for other conditions, using logic="OR".

I’m not sure if I understand how the parent value for field attribute works. I’m not even sure if I needed for what I’m trying to achieve:
Is it possible to test if current (global) category has no children? I don’t think I need to traverse up the category tree for that, but I may be missing something.

Hi, a quick question.
How I should use it if I want to know if a body or excerpt article has content or not ?

I was using <txp:chh_if_data> but it does not work / comply when the output is less than 39 characters :| (unless when I’m displaying articles from a specific category)

<txp:chh_if_data>
<txp:article_custom form="body" pgonly="0" limit="1" section='<txp:section />' sort="Posted asc" status="5" category='<txp:category title="0" />' />
<txp:else/>
<p>NO THERE CONTENT IN BODY ARTICLE</p>
</txp:chh_if_data>

Thanks

Without plugin?

<txp:variable name="checkcheck"><txp:article_custom form="body" limit="1" section='<txp:section />' sort="Posted asc" status="sticky" category='<txp:category title="0" />' /></txp:variable>
<txp:if_variable name="checkcheck" value="">
   <p>NO THERE CONTENT IN BODY ARTICLE</p>
<txp:else/>
   <txp:variable name="checkcheck" />
</txp:if_variable>

status 5 is sticky, right? (No further proofreading done.)

Or:

<txp:if_custom_field name="body">
	something
<txp:else />
	other thing
</txp:if_custom_field>

Yes, I use an sticky article just to describe different categories. About your code, it works! but I’ve modified it as follows:

<txp:variable name="checkcheck"><txp:article_custom form="body" limit="1" section='<txp:section />' sort="Posted asc" status="sticky" category='<txp:category title="0" />' /></txp:variable>
<txp:if_variable name="checkcheck" value="">
<p>NO THERE CONTENT IN BODY ARTICLE</p>
<txp:else/>
<txp:variable name="checkcheck" />
</txp:if_variable>

I thought I couldn’t store big chains text in a TXP variable :P
Many thanks

Ah, the slash in the closing variable tag. Glad it didn’t make you stumble. Will correct that above.

Me neither, but I learnt it even spares one query.

bq. <txp:if_custom_field name=“body”> something

</txp:if_custom_field>

In this case, I’m not using custom_field
I wondered with body or excerpt texts of an article.
Regards

The example checks the body field.

merz1 · 2012-12-13 15:56:45

Documentation needs enhancement(s) regarding TXP core fields which can be checked via if_custom_field name="list of TXP core fields".
