XF 2.3 Conditional for nodes

[Deleted member 184953]

Hello, i use this code to display some content for one node:

<xf:if is="$xf.reply.containerKey == 'node-71'">
    // content
</xf:if>

I can't find the way for multiples nodes...
I knew but i didn't know anymore...

This may annoy you ...

<xf:if is="in_array($var, ['thing', 'other_thing'])">

Damn! I tried that but i forgot the ' to nest the things !
Thank you.

I just changed my mind.

The ' ' are only required for strings (text).

If it was just node IDs they wouldn't be needed.

Ok, that's explain all... i took this conditional as an example:

<xf:if is="in_array({$forum.node_id}, [X,Y,Z])">

Where X,Y,Z are node ID so just 34, 2, 18

Would:

<xf:if is="$xf.reply.containerKey == 'node-71' AND $xf.reply.containerKey == 'node-72' AND $xf.reply.containerKey == 'node-73'">

be acceptable too?

I have some old templates where I use AND, not knowing about in_array() or when it came to templates (as functions aren't in the documentation).

Would in_array() perform better or would it be negligible to go back and change it now?

AND would mean cumulative conditions, why don't you use OR?

Thanks for the correction. Yes, OR. Would it have a performance issue over the function?

Would it have a performance issue over the function?

I don't think so, using array relieves the coder, I don't think it disrupts a server or a browser.

Using OR will achieve the same result but an array is much more compact and easier to read/maintain.

Thanks.

Will go back through 2.1 template edits that I've done to see what I can make more readable (as they extend pretty long with OR OR OR...).
