I’ve defined a global variable called “gv_default_banner” and added an image url.  When I do the following the image url is displayed:

{gv_default_banner}

When I wrap it in conditionals nothing is displayed:

{if gv_default_banner != ""}{gv_default_banner}{/if}

Do conditionals not work with user defined global variables?

Note: these variables are defined in Templates > Global Variables, not path.php or in a template.

User-defined global variables are not run through the template engine, so no.  The conditional you describe is puzzling, though.  Why would you put a variable in your template that you have not defined?

OK thanks.  I simplified my example some what.  The code may look like this (still simplifed…

{if gv_default_banner != ""}<div id="banner">{gv_default_banner}</div>{/if}

Nevermind, I can work around it now I now I’m not going mad.

smallbeer, sounds like you have a workaround. Please don’t hesitate to post again if needed.
