Syntax problem in IF control
20 October 2010 at 6:04am
Here is my code...which is not working.
<% if BaseHref != "http://subdomain.ourdevserver.net/" %>
<% include GoogleAnalytics %>
<% end_if %>I am fairly certain it is the / and : and . chars causing the issue. However, I am not good enought yet to figure out how.
I have tried using the XML_val method but to no avail.
Any assistance on syntax would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul, im not sure but i think the BaseHref var is not the domian but relative to it.

No, it is the value I need to query. I have placed in the the template and it spits out a value in the structure I use in my example code.
"http://subdomain.ourdevserver.net/"

ok, then i was wrong.
i looked it up in some of our templates and this works in one of our sites:
<% if ClassName != "GardenHolder" %>
i think you are right about the / or : char
advise is to do a workaround maybe?
Creating a CheckBaseHref method in the Page class which checks the base_hrefsomething like
function checkBaseUrl() {
return (Director::absoluteBaseURL() == 'http://subdomain.ourdevserver.net/');

Thanks Bart. I had this idea as well, was just trying to make it as compact as possible.
One further question, can we refer to the setting in _config.php "Director::set_environment_type("dev");"
If so, then this function can be configured to work independently from the site base url.
Something like.
function checkIfLive() {
return (Director::set_environment_type == 'dev');

btw I don't think you should use quotes in <% if %> statements in the templates

Really. I do it quite a bit and it works OK when the are no "special" characters in the string.
Why should they not be used?

"You should not include quotes around the value."
As for the why... that would be a ss developer who would answer... but I'd have a guess it is about simplicity in the templates...
