Greetings,

Is this possible to do…

I’m looping through entries based on the category they are in.  When it reaches the entry titled “What We Do”, I want it to process the code in the if statement.  How can I use the {title} variable in the entries tag in my if statement?  I know for sure one of the entries in the loop is titled “What We Believe”, but it doesn’t show up under the entry titled “What We Believe” on output.

{exp:channel:entries category="13" dynamic="no"}
  {title}

{if "{title}” == “what we believe”} 
do this….
{/if}

{/exp:channel:entries}

Thanks in advance

Try this:

{exp:channel:entries category='13' dynamic='no'}
{if title == 'What We Believe'}  
do this….
{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Thanks for the response.

Thanks, this is a step closer to what I was trying to accomplish.  I tweaked the code, and here is what I got now.

{exp:channel:entries category='13' dynamic='no'}
  {title}
{if title == segment_2} 
do this
{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

This code is being used to create a side menu.  It is cycling through all the entries assigned to the About Category like I want it to.  And now it does show the “do this” text under the menu item ‘What We Believe’.  The problem I now have is that I only want the “do this” to show if the {title} is equal to {segment_2} of the url.  The “do this” will eventually be a submenu under “What We Do”, showing only if you are on the “What We Do” page.  I have a feeling I’m not using {segment_2} correctly in the if statement??

Any suggestions??

Thank you for your help!!

Well I did figure out a way to accomplish what I was trying to do.  The “do this” now only appears if you are on the “What We Believe” page.  Per code below…

if:elseif segment_1==“about”}

{exp:channel:entries category="13" dynamic="no"}
  {title}

{if title}
<?php
$title = “{url_title}”;
$page = “{segment_2}”;

if (($page==“what-we-believe”) && ($title==“what-we-believe”)){
?>

do this

<?php
}
?>

{/exp:channel:entries}

{/if}

Any suggestions on doing this without PHP??

Does this work for you?

{exp:channel:entries category='13' dynamic='no'}
    {if url_title == segment_2}
        do this….
    {/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Hello boomer42025. Could you please wrap your code in proper BB tag ?

The same without PHP in template:

{exp:channel:entries category='13' dynamic='no'}
     {if title && title == 'what-we-believe' && url_title == 'what-we-believe'}
           do this
     {/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Or

{exp:channel:entries category='13' dynamic='no'}
     {if title && title == url_title}
           do this
     {/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Also, please read this topic to get more understanding of conditions:

I would strongly recommend comparing to the URL title, much like FiSt has recommended, but with a slight tweak:

{exp:channel:entries category='13' dynamic='no'}
     {if url_title == segment_2}
          do this
      {/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

No PHP needed at all, and it won’t be thrown if you have grammatical marks in your title since the URL title strips those already.

Does that help?
