EE Conditionals in JavaScript?

Hi,

Can you use EE conditional logic in <script> blocks in EE templates?

I have the following code tested and outputting fine;

{exp:weblog:entries weblog='image-collection' orderby='random'}
{if featured == 'Yes'}
{related_entries id='image-collection-01'}'{image_url}': { caption: '{caption}' },{/related_entries}
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

The output is as I want;

'http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/galleries/image-01.jpg': { caption: 'Caption test' },
'http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/galleries/image-02.jpg': { caption: 'Caption test' },
'http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/galleries/image-03.jpg': { caption: 'Caption test' },

However, when I put the code in a JavaScript <script> block it doesnt seem to parse the conditionals and the output is;

{if "No" == 'Yes'}'http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/galleries/image-01.jpg': { caption: 'Caption test.' },{/if}
{if "Yes" == 'Yes'}{/if}
{if "No" == 'Yes'}'http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/galleries/image-03.jpg': { caption: 'Caption test.' },{/if}
{if "No" == 'Yes'}'http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/galleries/image-05.jpg': { caption: 'Caption test.' },{/if}
{if "Yes" == 'Yes'}'http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/galleries/image-07.jpg': { caption: 'Caption test' },{/if}
{if "Yes" == 'Yes'}'http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/galleries/image-11.jpg': { caption: 'Caption test' },{/if}
{if "Yes" == 'Yes'}'http://www.mydomain.com/images/uploads/galleries/3527077024.jpg': { caption: 'Caption test' },{/if}

Thanks,
Steven

Also, a similar thing happens when using PHP in temlates.

This works fine…

<?php $tester = "{exp:weblog:entries weblog='image-collection'}{related_entries id='image-collection-01'}'{image_url}': { caption: '{caption}' },{/related_entries}{/exp:weblog:entries}";
?>

But not this…

<?php $getEntries = "{exp:weblog:entries weblog='image-collection'}{if featured == 'Yes'}{related_entries id='image-collection-01'}'{image_url}': { caption: '{caption}' },{/related_entries}{/if}{/exp:weblog:entries}";
?>

I thought all EE code gets parsed before the PHP and JavaScript output, no? (The PHP Parsing Stage is set to output).

Try adding this to config.php:
```
$conf['protect_javascript'] = 'n';
```
Details here. You can try with ‘y’ as well just to be sure.
