Hi

I don t understand what happens.

In category.html, i use <%ifnot%> tag and it works fine with the variables 'img' or 'banner' :

**********
<%ifnot banner%>testBANNER1<%endif%>
or
<%if banner eq ''%>testBANNER2<%endif%>

Idem with 'img'

<%ifnot img%>testIMG1<%endif%>
or
<%if img eq ''%>testIMG2<%endif%>

All that works very fine. If there is not a variable 'banner', then 'testBANNER1' appears and if there is a variable 'banner', then the <%banner%> appears.
**********

BUT the problem is that it does NOT work with the variable 'bannervert' :

<%ifnot bannervert%>testBANNERVERT1<%endif%>
or
<%if bannervert% eq ''%>testBANNERVERT2<%endif%>

There is no data in 'bannervert' field but still nothing appears. But if there is a data in 'bannervert' field, then the <%bannervert%> appears in my pages. I cannot find why it does not work when there is no variable 'bannervert'. It does not seem to be a problem of <%ifnot%> because it works with 'img' and 'banner' variables.

I thought it could be a problem in 'nph_build.cgi' but testing different ways, no result :

# ********************** nonenglish modification - begin ****************
# ($description, $related, $meta_name, $meta_keywords, $header, $footer) = @{$category{$cat}}[2..7];
($id,$category_name,$description, $related, $meta_name, $meta_keywords, $header, $footer, $nonenglish,$catsort,$subcat,$type,$img,$banner,$bannervert) = @{$category{$cat}}[0..15];
# *********************** nonenglish modification - end ******************


NB : i use the 'nonenglish mod too'

Here are the files 'category.def', 'site_html_template' and 'nph_build.cgi'.
Has anyone got any idea ???

Thanx a lot.

I'm not sure <%ifnot ...%> is supported in Links 2. Have you tried;

Thanks a lot for your answer !!!

<%ifnot ...%> does work with 'img' and 'banner' variables' but it does not with 'bannervert' (???).

I tried your suggestion but this is what is replied :

Unkown Tag: else testBANNERVERT2

Argh ...

Do you have the Enhanced Template mod installed?

Thanks a lot for your kind efforts.

Best regards,

Do you have template usage enabled? If so, why did you paste/work on site_html_templates.pl ?

Yes, in 'links.cfg', it is :

$build_use_templates = 1;


It is said there :

# Use Templates: instead of editing site_html.pl, you can edit regular html pages
# encoded with special <%links_tags%>. It's not as flexible as site_html.pl, but it
# may be easier.


Then, as since i ever worked on 'links2' script, i use 'site_html_template.pl', and untill now all worked fine.

'site_html.pl' is useless when '$build_use_templates' =1

Isn't it ?

No idea then...sorry

In case of it might help, here is how i finally got it :

'bannervert' was the last of the 14 category variables in 'category.def'.

i added a 15th variable in 'category.def' and now it works, the 'bannervert' works fine with 'ifnot'. it does not work with the last variable of 'category.def'. I don't understand why ... but finally it works !!!

Thank you VERY MUCH for your kind help.

Cheers
