Hi All,

I want to evaluate a variable and if the variable is set then I want to use that as the Title and if the Variable is not Set then i want to supply a default value to the variable.

Something like this

If A != ‘’
  Title = A
Else:
  Title = ‘Default Title’
End If

How do I write this piece of code in Tenmplate Language?

Please guide.

You’re actually very close with your pseudo code there.

Try this :

{if my_variable != ""}
{my_variable}
{if:else}
Default Title
{/if}

Hope that helps a bit.

Best wishes,

Mark

I did something like this but it is not working. Am I missing something here?

{if {page_title} != “”}
      <title>{embed:page_title}</title>
{if:else}
      <title>Default Title</title>
{/if}

The title getting displayed is always “Default Title”

Please Guide.

You have the variable as an embed in one place and not an embed in the other. Plus I think you need to quote the variable if you use the {if:else} conditional. Try:

{if "{embed:page_title}" != ''}
      <title>{embed:page_title}</title>
{if:else}
      <title>Default Title</title>
{/if}
