Hey all onto my next hill so I finally figured out how to get my items to display from my query ( god bless the Smarty docs ) but now I want to use some if elseif statements in my template, but I am having an issue where things aren't working the way I want them to.

I have my template setup like this right now:

This works and will display the things needed, but I want to be able to test $pnChangeitems[pnChangeitems].0 for the value and per that value I want to display some other text, so right now it works like this:



so the end I want to be able to do is to test for things like "prep,proced,test,backout, and followup" and if the test is true for that dispaly Preparation Steps Procedure Steps etc.

I tried the method on the Smarty page and this did somewhat work, but it printed out my if statement also, so I took a look at the example module and tried the method used in the display template and no dice there so here I am after trying several things any help you all may offer would be great.

To make testing easier, try assigning the variables to a shorter name. Like $pnChangeitems[pnChangeitems].0 to Zero.

Then you should be able to do this:

It sounds like you might have missed a [] or something. I do that. Drives me nuts!

darn jedi I forgot all about doing the pnml name statement wow, let me give that a shot and I will let you know how things worked out.


Thanks a million

Ok so that kinda works, but for some reason when testing it only loops once and then we get nothing else printed out, example below:

Display now:


Any ideas on this one??

ok so doing some debuging and it would appear that the second elsif doesn't get ran so we die after the first if. back to the drawing board now.

Keep in mind that this (ie):

$pnChangeitems[pnChangeitems].0 ...

...should be something like...

$pnChangeitems.pnChangeitems.0 ...

;)

Change all instances and see what you come up with...

...but then again, that shown above would seem a strange way to arrange the array (ie, double-nested)...

...did you mean this:

... if $pnChangeitems.0 ....

?

Look closely at your elseif statements. What's the double dollar for ($$)?

it was a typo when I was writing things out lastnight Mark I had been up for 24 hours with no sleep so I missed that, but caught it this morning. On a side note to this I just posted a question under the Xathnia pnRender forum about problems do regex inside the template if any of you have a sec maybe you can hop over and take a look and tell me if it is even possible to do what I want to do.


Thanks all
