Thread

I have a large client site that we recently updated from 1.6.8 with the core hacked, we are now running a clean unhackec version of 1.7.1. Since the update all of the advanced conditionals no longer work, this includes if:else and if with statements AND or OR. Simple conditionals work just fine as do PHP conditionals. The site in question is fairly large (400 or so templates) so I do not fancy going through every template and changing all the conditionals.

Any ideas?

I can provide site access via PM.

Hi, Justin,

Do you know when you downloaded EE 1? There was a problem in the initial build, but it was fixed quickly.

There are details in this thread.

Actually Lisa that might be it, I downloaded it shortly after release because the first time I tried to download I couldn’t because it was being update. I will redownload and report back.

- Just updated and it does not appear to be fixing anything.

Justin, when you say advanced conditionals - could you give a simplified example? I’ll try to replicate it from a fresh build of EE 1.7.1.

Sure for example the homepage currently has

{if segment_2}
    {embed="utils/_standard_content"
            livelook_cachebust="{embed:livelook_cachebust}"
            livelook_statuses="{embed:livelook_statuses}" 
            livelook_show_future="{embed:livelook_show_future}" 
            livelook_show_expired="{embed:livelook_show_expired}"
        } 
{if:else}
    {embed="utils/_homepage"
            livelook_cachebust="{embed:livelook_cachebust}"
            livelook_statuses="{embed:livelook_statuses}" 
            livelook_show_future="{embed:livelook_show_future}" 
            livelook_show_expired="{embed:livelook_show_expired}"
        } 
{/if}

Justin, can you test with a similar template in a template group called testme:

{if segment_2 ==""}
Some segment

{if:else}
In the else

{/if}

Does that work as expected?

I had this same issue which was fixed in the most recent 1.7.1 update. If you are using caching, be sure to clear the cache after upgrading to the “fixed” 1.7.1 to clear the conditional errors.

Thanks for the assist, James.

Justin?
