Thread

Hi There, I have a channel entries tag pair that lists the title and permalinks to each of the articles in that channel. One of the titles is quite long and my client has asked for it to be shortened to a specific name. I was thinking that I could create an “IF” statement for the {title}. Below is the code, but it doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

{exp:channel:entries channel="products" orderby="screen_name" sort="asc"}
     <ul>
          <li><a href="http://{title_permalink=">{if title_permalink=site/products/boiler_openings_inspection_ports_access_doors_burner_openings}Boiler Openings{if:else}{title}{/if}</a></li>
    </ul>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Thanks in advance.

simplify

{If title = 'a'}
link a
{/if}
{if title = 'b'}
link b
{/if}

If it is aesthetic of a link then consider trim http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/trim-title/ or http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/trunchtml/

Hi Mark,

Further to what lebisol has said you might want to consider a custom field in that Channel where a shorter title can be placed and output that instead?

Best wishes,

Mark

Great suggestions guys. Thanks for your assistance.
