Thread

I am using the taxonomy add-on, and within the {exp:taxonomy:nav} tag set (documentation here) I am trying to do a conditional, as follows:

{exp:taxonomy:nav tree_id="{embed:taxonomy_root}" depth="10" display_root="no" ul_css_id="mainmenu"}
  < a {if node_level != "1"}class="sub"{/if} href="{node_url}">{node_title}</a>
{/exp:taxonomy:nav}

I was surprised to find that didn’t work. 

What does work is if I change the conditional to use a quoted variable, like so:

{exp:taxonomy:nav tree_id="{embed:taxonomy_root}" depth="10" display_root="no" ul_css_id="mainmenu"}
  < a {if "{node_level}" != "1"}class="sub"{/if} href="{node_url}">{node_title}</a>
{/exp:taxonomy:nav}

However, the FAQ advises against this syntax.

So, 3 questions:
1) Do conditionals get parsed differently for add-ons than for the channel module?
2) Is there some other way that I could write this to accomplish my desired effect?
  2a) Otherwise, is my working code “safe” despite the advice of the FAQ?

Hi, GE -

This is something you should take up with the author.  Generally speaking, this can be an indicator that the variables aren’t being run through prep_conditionals.

I’m not familiar enough with this add-on to know if it’s safe; generally, it’s not safe if it’s taking user submitted input, such as URL segments.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I’ve posted in the taxonomy thread over in the community forums asking for the author’s input.

Hi, GE - add-on support isn’t handled on our forums.  Iain (the author) will likely ask you to post at his preferred support location, which appears to be on the Devot-ee support forums. =)

Looks like this is fixed in v 1.07.  Please start a new thread if you need anything else!
