Dude from what I see you got the if / else statement wrong.

You have to always close an if statement off with [[/if]], [[/else]] does not exist.

If you typed in Google "smarty if", then you would have found: http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/languag ... ion.if.php

This is some super basic concepts here that even non-coders picks up (that's why they're in Smarty). You really need to read up about the basics, or have a friend teach you the ropes if you want to mess with the templates yourself.

Also, nobody's going to dig into a June post to see if it's answered, bump it again before throwing accusations around.

Well, there is functionality for 'if..then..else..' statements:

Code: Select all

[[if]] x is true
do this
[[elseif]] y is true
 do that
[[else]]
do something different
[[/if]]


would be the syntax. You will have to experiment a little bit to accomplish what you want exactl of course. It looks like you got some help in the right direction. If you needed more help, you should have read the documentation or explained better what you wanted, instead of bumping it without trying something yourself.

No.

I guess the correct code is:

Code: Select all

       <h3>[[t]]Links[[/t]]</h3>
       [[ if $entry.category[0]=="internal_news" ]]
            [[ include file="yourthemename/_sub_link_list_internal_news.html" ]]
       [[ elseif $entry.category[0]=="external_news" ]]
            [[ include file="yourthemename/_sub_link_list_external_news.html" ]]
       [[else]]
           [[link_list]]
       [[/fi]]

hansfn thank you very much for your help
Now the error is not issued, but in any category included [[link_list]]
I think that the error in the
[[ if $entry.category[0]=="internal_news" ]]

[hansfn]

As long as you don't tell what your categories are named (and exactly what template code you use), I can't help you. A link to your site would also have helped a lot.

blog:

http://mediafon.biz/index.php

code:

<h3>[[t]]Links[[/t]]</h3>
[[ if $entry.category[0]=="test-2" ]]
[[ include file="skinny/_sub_link_list_test-2.html" ]]
[[ elseif $entry.category[0]=="test1" ]]
[[ include file="skinny/_sub_link_list_test1.html" ]]
[[ elseif $entry.category[0]=="test-3" ]]
[[ include file="skinny/_sub_link_list_test-3.html" ]]
[[else]]
[[link_list]]
[[/if]]

[hansfn]

But it works. Compare the links in the right menu on
http://mediafon.biz/entry/5/
http://mediafon.biz/entry/4/
http://mediafon.biz/entry/3/

No, it doesn't work on http://mediafon.biz/category/test1 etc. Do you understand why?

[Unmerciful]

I think the problem here:
$entry.category[0]==

[hansfn]

Yes, because on a category page, $entry isn't defined - there are many entries to choose from ... Try using $modifier.category instead of $entry.category[0] and it works on category pages. Conclusion: You need to check both.

PS! If you need to do advanced stuff like this you need to learn Smarty ...
