Firstly, could you go back to basics, copy the code above and see what you get out. If it works we may need to investigate how your direction variable is being populated.

Thank you very much Stef, unbeknownst to me there was a char limit exception on PHP code that populated direction. I thought I had sanitized my test before contacting you, thanks for the help in confirming that it was my problem and not a problem with smd_if.

Testing here

Calling it as such:

<txp:smd_if field="excerpt" operator="isempty"> aaaaaa <txp:body /><txp:else /> bbbbbb
<txp:excerpt /> cccccc <txp:permlink>more</txp:permlink> 
</txp:smd_if> dddddd

Smd_if plugin seems to be working correctly on the frontend; I just want to make sure I’m doing it right/am I missing something that’s causing the error?

Okay so plugin help indicates that my usage won’t work (although it seemed to, on the frontend), however I’m not so far able to wrap my head around what the correct tag should be.. I would just like to check whether the excerpt field is empty (or not).

Doesn’t if_excerpt do the job for you? And don’t worry about any ‘unregistered tag’ warnings: they’re just warnings for now and will be for a version or two of Textpattern yet. I’ll tend to each plugin as I get a chance.

Documentation didn’t indicate that it will parse txp:else — I need it for “if_no_excerpt”. If it will parse txp:else then it will yes do the job :)

All conditional tags support <txp:else />.

alicson · 2017-03-06 09:54:30

Yay then if_excerpt is perfect :) (Documentation seems pretty consistent about individually mentioning availability of txp:else for most conditional tags.)

Am I using smd_if correctly here or can I manage this one with built-in tags too? <txp:smd_if field="category1, category2" value="ridiculi">

In an article list page:

<txp:if_category name="ridiculi">
        ...
</txp:if_category>

In an article form:

<txp:if_article_category name="ridiculi">
        ...
</txp:if_article_category>

Thank you!

To replace the very handy <txp:glx_if_section_frontpage>, how may I form the <txp:smd_if> ?

If needs to be specific to a particular section/page, I was thinking I could do e.g. IF <txp:page_url /> = <txp:site_url />/pictures ..
I haven’t quite wrapped my head around urlvar, etc../which fields to use in this case to effectively form the smd_if.

Alicson, here’s a plugin-less solution. Plus several other approaches discussed in a specific topic.

jsoo · 2017-03-17 01:26:16

I gather you’re trying to cut back on plugins, but while uli is of course right that you can do section front-page checks with built-in tags, it does tend to require a rather big stack of them, so here’s another option to consider (with apologies for promoting my own plugin in a different plugin support thread!):

soo_if_frontpage

alicson · 2017-03-18 04:00:12

Thank you very much to both of you! I am cutting down on plugins, however have also been trying to cut down on extensive nested conditionals—of which I have (too) many. @uli, I really appreciate being pointed to resources; I’ve only just discovered txp:variable and I don’t think I fully understand its attributes yet; I am digesting and learning. And @jsoo your plugin offer is greatly appreciated, and will probably be the right answer for me; very practical functionality to have.

I use

<txp:variable name="social" value='<txp:custom_field name="social media" />' />	
<txp:smd_if field="txpvar:social" operator="contains" value="instagram.com"> 
	<span>instagram</span> 
</txp:smd_if>
<txp:smd_if field="txpvar:social" operator="contains" value="twitter.com"> 
	<span>twitter</span> 
</txp:smd_if>
<txp:smd_if field="txpvar:social" operator="contains" value="facebook.com"> 
	<span>facebook</span> 
<txp:else />
	<span>Other Social Media</span> 
</txp:smd_if>

Problem is, that if any but the last smd_if clauses return true, the last one still returns the code after the txp:else. How can i return this code only, when none of the above options returned true?

I think that the name of the social media custom field should not contain any spaces.
