Great, that did the trick. "Current" has to be in lowercase for this to work though. So:

<% control ChildrenOf(clientcases) %>
<% if LinkOrCurrent = current %>

         <% else %>
            <h2>$Title</h2>
         <% end_if %>
      <% end_control %>

...does exactly what I want.

Thanks a lot!

You can't assign vars in the template parser. But if you want to hide the current one you could just do <% if LinkOrCurrent = Current %><% else %>// do stuff <% end_if %>

Assigning temporary variables in a template?

superautomatic — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 08:04:45 +1300

I have a folder called "clientcases" that includes 4 or five client cases. In the template I list the other clientcases in the sidebar (with a <% control ChildrenOf(clientcases) %> loop ). Now I want to exclude the current case from the list in the sidebar. Normally I'd just assign a temporary CurrentClientCase variable to match against the Title in the loop. But how do I assign a temporary variable like that in SS?

Example:

Clientcases
- Foo
- Bar
- Alice
- Bob

When viewing the "Foo" page, only Bar, Alice and Bob should be listed in the sidebar.

So something like this should do it:

<% control ChildrenOf(clientcases) %>
   <% if Title != CurrentClientCase %>
   ...
   <% end_if %>
<% end_control %>

But how do I assign the $Title value to $CurrentClientCase (or another temp variable...)?
