This question may be related to a resolved thread.

Just trying to correct the formatting of a conditional - I am comparing a trying to compare a publish date to a specific date and determine a url based on that - so the following works:

{if {entry_date format="%U"} > 1335776400 }

...but I cant get the comparison working with the global variable - using any form of apostrophes (or none) 

{if {entry_date format="%U"} > {url_switch} }

Any suggestions appreciated…

thanks
Kevin

Hey kev_horan,

Thank you for posting your question here on the ExpressionEngine forums.

I am afraid that you are running into Parse Order!

The conditional is being parsed before the global variable, so that is why it’s failing. :-(

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
