I’ve built a custom module which uses tags. In my templates I have some if logic to determine whether the right parameters are present, and if so I pass them to my tag e.g.:

{if '{embed:param1}'}
  {exp:my_module:my_tag param="{embed:param1}"}
{/if}

However I can see from logging output that the code for my_tag runs regardless of the outcome of the if statement. Is that normal?

Hi Fritz,

Yes, that can happen depending EE’s parse order and what else is in the template. Keep in mind that EE tags aren’t a scripting language. In this case using the embed variable in the conditional is likely going to trigger the advanced conditional mode.
