Trial and error here… if i use the following then i get the desired effect.. but its the same for every category..

{categories}
             


                    {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}
    

                {/categories}

so no good really…

if i then put back in the {if category_id ==}

{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}

then it shows nothing at all…

so if i then just put in

{categories}{category_id}{/categories}

it finds the correct category_id which is 6

so something has changed between 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 with the way it deals with the multi conditionals or something.. as as soon as i put the {if category} back in.. bearing in mind ive just seen it say its category_id 6 then it just doesnt cope with it at all..

{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}

Yeah it will output the category_id on its own no problem… but as soon as i put in another set of conditionals it doesnt want to know..

works fine in 2.1.3

Etheya can you please check and see if you’re able to output anything at all from inside the category conditional? And if you can then I believe it’d definetly work to put the additional conditionals inside an embedded template.

Breakthrough… this is 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}    
                    
                    {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}

Great to hear man. You can have {print-orientation} in ” ” instead of ’ ’ if you want consistency 😊

Still get a slight error.. seems you cant use
```
{if category_id != "6" OR category_id != "7" OR category_id != "13"}
```
so will have to see what to use now..

I have

{if segment_2 == "2011" OR segment_2 == "2010" OR segment_2 == "2009" OR segment_2 == "2008" OR segment_2 == "2007" OR segment_2 == "2006" OR segment_2 == "2005" OR segment_2 == "2004" OR segment_2 == "2003" OR segment_2 == "2002" OR segment_2 == "2001" OR segment_2 == "2000"}

in one of my codes though. It’d be very weird if category_id was different.

And by the way can you please confirm that ’ ’ was not different from ” ” cause I’m not sure now 😊

Needed to change it too
```
{if "{category_id}" != "6" AND "{category_id}" != "7" AND "{category_id}" != "13"}
```
and it now all works a treat 😊

I guess we should just get used to putting all these conditionals in quotes 😊 Maybe it’s because EE is always able to compare two strings.

Great you got it working!

Etheya,

A simple conditional should work fine. Can you confirm that 2 simple conditionals work
```
{if category_id == '6'}
.....
{/if}

{if category_id == '7'}
.....
{/if}
```
Advanced are parsed much later so with that categories loop you may as you found out have to qualify those custom field conditionals as strings
