I’ve created a global variable in Expression Engine to be able to switch to a testing mode for a site I am testing. The global variable is called ‘test-mode’ and the content is the word ‘true’.  But it is not working in an if statement.

{if test-mode == "true"}hello world{/if}

EE doesn’t show the “hello world” text. If I do this:

{test-mode}

It shows “true”. I can’t figure out why it’s not working…

Try:

{if test-mode==true}

This worked on my local install.

But do note that if you are trying to use this around other EE code you’ll likely have mixed results. EE’s parse order comes into play here, and global variables are evaluated late in the process.

That worked!  Thanks!
