Hi everyone, I’ve looked all over, and I cant figure this one out, so I turn to you!
I would like to have color thumbnails that only display if the color is in stock.
Is there a way to create a conditional that calls data from a “checkbox” custom field?
I began with:
{if product_color !=""}
success
{/if}_______
This works (pulls up “success”), but is there a way to use a conditional to replace the color “blue” with “success” but leave the others alone?

Does this work for you?
{if product_color == "blue"}
{product_color}
{/if}#3 / Mar 29, 2010 11:06pm
I realized that != is a not equal tag (noob) and I tried this, but it still doesn’t work.
Here is what I’ve tried (and failed with) so far :
<div id="viewcontent">
<div id="content-data">
<!-- Begin CONTENT TITLE -->
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="products" limit="1"}
<div id="data-title">
<h4>{title}</h4>
<p> </p><h5>{product_price}</h5>
<p> {product_body}<br />
</div><br />
<!-- Begin CONTENT SIZE --><br />
<div id="data-size"><br />
{product_size}<br />
</div><br />
<!-- Begin CONTENT COLOR --><br />
<div id="data-color"><br />
{if product_color == "Black"}<br />
{product_color}<br />
{/if}<br />
</div><br />
<!-- Begin CONTENT QUANTITY--><br />
<div id="data-quantity"><br />
{product_quantity}<br />
</div><br />
<!-- Begin CONTENT ADD TO CART --><br />
<div id="data-cart"><br />
Add to cart<br />
</div><br />
</div>Any ideas?

To clarify, I also tried :
<div id="data-color">
{if product_color == "Black"}
SUCCESS
{/if}
</div>To no success. :(

Whenever I work with conditionals, I like to see what a variable is outputting. If you put:
{product_color}... you will see what the value of product color. It may be “black” instead of “Black”, you know what I mean. So test what each variable is outputting and then put that in your conditional instead. Because the conditionals are case-sensitive.

{product_color}pulls up the color list just fine.
The end goal is to allow my client to click the available colors (with checkboxes) for a t-shirt when creating an entry, and have it display a thumbnail.
So if I have Black, Blue, Red, etc, is it possible to isolate each of these titles and display the appropriate thumbnail?
Maybe there’s a smarter way of going about this?
Thank you for your response!

Could you use CSS?
<span class="color_tab {product_color}">
{product_color}
</span>CSS:
.color_tab {
display: block;
height: 40px;
text-indent: -9999px;
width: 40px;
}
.blue { background-color: blue; }
.black { background-color: black; }
.red { background-color: red; }But you’ll have to get the conditionals to work. Do you have those working now?
