Not sure whats going on here.. but this has been working fine for several months, ( unless that was just luck ) but for some reason or other this code is now not working..

{categories}
                {if category_id == "6" OR category_id == "7"}

                    {if print-orientation == "Portrait"}
                    <div class="printimage fp">
                        <a href="http://{print-img}%22rel=%22example_group" rel="example_group" title="{title}">{exp:ed_imageresizer image="{print-img}" default="" maxHeight="360" alt="{title}"}</a>
                    </div>                
                    
                    {if:elseif print-orientation == "Landscape"}
                    <div class="printimage">
                        <a href="http://{print-img}%22rel=%22example_group" rel="example_group" title="{title}">{exp:ed_imageresizer image="{print-img}" default="" maxWidth="360" alt="{title}"}</a>
                    </div>
                    {/if}
                                    
                {/if}
                {/categories}

its just throwing out

{categories} {/categories}

on the front end.. yet has been working nicely up to that point..

Did something change from 2.1.3 to 2.2.1 with this at all?

Try getting rid of the advanced conditional and use two simple ones instead. They tend to bug up if you nest the advanced ones 😊

Yeah i had 2 simple ones to begin with.. which used to work… hence why im wondering if something changed with the version of ee from 2.1.3 to 2.2.1 ?

this used to work as simple conditional..

{categories}
                {if category_id == "6" OR category_id == "7"}

                    {if print-orientation == "Portrait"}
                    <div class="printimage fp">
                        <a href="http://{print-img}%22rel=%22example_group" rel="example_group" title="{title}">{exp:ed_imageresizer image="{print-img}" default="" maxHeight="360" alt="{title}"}</a>
                    </div>                                    
                    {/if}

                    {if print-orientation == "Landscape"}
                    <div class="printimage">
                        <a href="http://{print-img}%22rel=%22example_group" rel="example_group" title="{title}">{exp:ed_imageresizer image="{print-img}" default="" maxWidth="360" alt="{title}"}</a>
                    </div>                    
                    {/if}
                                    
                {/if}
                {/categories}

But seems to have stopped…

And you are able to print something from within the first conditional?

Ah its not printing anything.. its displaying a print… dependant on if orientation…

if i just use

{categories}
                {if category_id == "6" OR category_id == "7" }


                    <div class="printimage fp">
                        <a href="http://{print-img}%22rel=%22example_group" rel="example_group" title="{title}">{exp:ed_imageresizer image="{print-img}" default="" maxHeight="360" alt="{title}"}</a>
                    </div>                                    
                                    
                {/if}
                {/categories}

then it displays fine.. but its not checking the orientation of this particular entry… which is what it was doing..

This was bugging me that much.. that in the end ive rolled back to 2.1.3 and it works again… so something is going astray or has changed between the 2 versions…

So it’s actually the orientation variable that doesnt work?

Well more than that i think, ive rolled EE back to 2.1.3 on a test server and it all works again nicely… its something thats changed with EE 2.2.1 .... parsing has changed or something. Hoping one of the EE tech guys comes along soon

Ethya what do you get when you try to output the variables you use in your conditionals? Sometimes I’ve had luck doing like this:

{if "{variable}” == “whatever”}

Instead of {if variable == "whatever"}

Give it a try.

YEah have tried that..

{categories}
             
                {if "{category_id}" == "6" OR "{category_id}" == "7"}

                    {if print-orientation == "Portrait"}
                    <div class="printimage fp">
                        <a href="http://{print-img}%22rel=%22example_group" rel="example_group" title="{title}">{exp:ed_imageresizer image="{print-img}" default="" maxHeight="360" alt="{title}"}</a>
                    </div>                
                    {/if}                
    
                    {if print-orientation == "Landscape"}
                    <div class="printimage">

                    <div class="printimage pandeepest">

                {/if}
                {/categories}

with no luck..

So it is actually the category_id conditional that does not work? That makes no sense since I know it is working on my system and I have the same build. Have your tried outputting the category_id so that you can see what Expression Engine thinks it is in the situation? Maybe something messed up there.
