Hi All,

I am trying to add a text tag in link.html based on the category of the Link.

Using an "if" like this...

<%if CategoryID eq '70'%>
&nbsp;<font color="#c00000" size=1>fw</font>
<%endif%>

doesnt work.:(

I have read the help files and searched the posts, and asked me mates.:) but no solutions.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

Because 'category_id' is the correct variable. Also the 'ID' seems to have the category id value.

Use the <%GT::Template::dump%> tag to display find the usable variables.


All above should be inserted into the category.html template.
If you want to display in link.html, use the available variable dump solution to find what you need.

Best regards,
Webmaster33

Dave,

Try the corrected code I posted in my previous post.

If this is not working, then put <%GT::Template::dump%> into category.html or links.html template to display variables you can display in template (you will get big page and a loooong list with variables and values displayed).

Please try out what I'm suggesting, then come back and tell we what happened.

Best regards,
Webmaster33

Try


i.e. == instead of eq.

You'll need '70' not 70 otherwise Links SQL thinks its a variable rather than a number.

No. Try

in one of your templates

Hmm I've had problems with things not working as expected in the past but when I used ' ' it started to work.

Im sure Jason mentioned something about this in the GForum forum but I can't find it, although you are right...in the docs it doesn't use ' '

Ah I think I know what it is now...its if you put the number first you need to use ' '

eg...I think you'd need

<%'70' * 5 %>

Rather than:

<%70 * 5%>

...but:

<%tag * 5%> ...is ok.

Thanks All for your replies..., but it still aint working..

I have tried every combination there is of <%if category_id == '70'%>

<%if category_id == 70%>
<%if category_id eq 70%>
<%if category_id == '70'%>
<%if category_id eq '70'%>

for

<%if category_id == 70%>
&nbsp;<FONT COLOR="#c00000" size=1>FW</FONT>
<%endif%>

and cannot get it to work.(and if it does it tags EVERY link, which is not desired.:()


webmaster33,

Thanks. I did go back and use <%GT::Template::dump%> - and tried some other variables and they did not work either.


yogi

I did not try your code

<%set a = 70%>
<%if a == 70%><hr><%endif%>

as I was unsure as to what it di or if it was a reply for me?


So... I still don't have the answer.:(

Thanks

Dave

Ok getting the hang this stuff now;)

Thanks wm33.:)

<%GT::Template::dump%> in link.html gave me NO category variables. So I am assuming what I want to do... can not be done.(Pls. tell me if I am wrong)

A friend tells me a new global could fix this prob... so I am off to learn some more.

Thanks

Dave
