Hi. I cant figure out what I am doing wrong here.

I am trying to get the URL to change if segment_2 is ‘latest’
```
<a href="{title_permalink='gallery/view'}/{if segment_2 == 'latest'}latest{if:else}{segment_4}{/if}">
```
For some reason even if the segment_2 is ‘latest’ it doesn’t add /latest to the URL.

Does my code look right?

Thanks

I think you’re missing brackets and ’ ’

<a href="{title_permalink='gallery/view'}/{if '{segment_2}' == 'latest'}latest{if:else}{segment_4}{/if}">

Hi Chris,

That should work for you.

What version and build of EE are you using?

If you try this do you get a result
```
Seg 2 : {segment_2}

{if segment_2 == 'latest'}
<a href="http://{title_permalink=gallery/view}/latest">link</a>
{if:else}
<a href="http://{title_permalink=gallery/view}">link</a>
{/if}
```
Can you provide some more of your template code please?
