XF 1.4 Inline conditional

[RichardKYA]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get this to work...

{xen:if '{$contentTemplate} != "forum_list" || {$contentTemplate} != "pagenode_container"', 'filter'}

...what am I doing wrong?

Thank you kindly

What specifically is/isn't happening when using it?

At first glance it looks ok to me from a syntax point of view.

 

[RichardKYA]

Basically, it's just ignoring these conditions and applying the class anyway. The conditions work fine if I separate them and do them individually, but using the || doesn't seem to work

 

[Chris D]

Actually, the syntax does appear to be correct. I didn't really focus on the logic behind the statement.

|| is the same as saying OR

!= is the same as saying NOT EQUAL

In that case, the logic says if the template is anything at all, apply the class, e.g:

If the template IS forum_list then it is NOT EQUAL to pagenode_container therefore it will add the filter class.
If the template is (as an example) thread_view then it is not equal to pagenode_container and it is not equal to forum_list therefore it will add the filter class.

What exactly are you trying to do, I think you need to use slightly different logic to achieve it.

 

[RichardKYA]

Of course, that makes perfect sense now that I think about it.

I want the class to be added to all templates apart from the forum_list and page_container.

How about something like...

{xen:if '{$contentTemplate} == "forum_list" || {$contentTemplate} == "pagenode_container"', '', 'filter'}

 

[RichardKYA]

Hold on, wouldn't && solve my problems...

{xen:if '{$contentTemplate} != "forum_list" && {$contentTemplate} != "pagenode_container"', 'filter'}

Lmao, stupid brain

 

[Chris D]

That looks better to me

Incidentally, another way is:

{xen:if '!in_array({$contentTemplate}, array("forum_list", "pagenode_container"))', 'filter'}

 

[RichardKYA]

Awesome, I think I will use that way, as I also want to add help_index to the mix, plus I can easily add more if I need to.

Thank you Chris, this is very helpful
