Hi,

I am writing some conditionals based upon the contents of different segments of the URL.  I used the example in the documentation as a starting point but it doesn’t appear to be working.  Regardless of whether there is a segment_2 in the URL or not it is still thinks there is.

The am using the following code at the top of my template

{if segment_2}
  {assign_variable:selected_year="{segment_2}"}
{if:else}
  {assign_variable:selected_year="No year supplied"}
{/if}

Testing this with the URL’s http://www.mysite.com/template/ and www.mysite.com/template/2008.  In both cases it assigns either 2008 or am empty string to the select_year variable.  In the first example I would expect it to drop into the else case and assign “No year supplied”

Has anybody else had problems like this?

Cheers

Giles

Giles:

This works for me:

{if segment_2 != ''}
  {assign_variable:selected_year="{segment_2}"}
{/if}
{if segment_2 == ''}
  {assign_variable:selected_year="No year supplied"}
{/if}

I hope that helps.

Hi Greg,

Yeah that’s what I ended up going with in the end.  May be worth updating the documentation as the code example doesn’t appear to work, at least not for me anyway :(

Cheers
