MTIfFolder buggered up in 4.21

Er... my code disappeared...

< mt:Pages > < mt:IfFolder label="Schools List" > < $mt:include module="Left nav - schools subnav"$ > < mt:ElseIf tag="PageTitle" eq="Schools List" > < $mt:include module="Left nav - schools subnav"$ > < /mt:IfFolder > < /mt:Pages >

Hi,

I'm shooting blind here, but I think this has to do with <mt:else> (or its equivalent <mt:elseif>) not working outside of the <mt:if> context. At least that's my reading of the documentation on <mt:else>.

So let's try and use the <setvarblock> functions to get this to work:

<MTPages>
<MTIfNonEmpty tag="pagefolder">
<!-- set variables -->
<mt:setvar name="schoolfolder" value="Schools List">
<mt:setvar name="schoolpagename" value="Schools List">
<mt:setvarblock name="thisfoldername"><mt:folderlabel></mt:setvarblock>
<mt:setvarblock name="pagename"><MT:PageTitle></mt:setvarblock>
<mt:if name="thisfoldername" eq="$schoolfolder">
    <mt:include module="mymodule">
<mt:else>
       <mt:if name="pagename" eq="$schoolpagename">
          <mt:include module="mymodule">
       </mt:if>
</mt:else>
</mt:if>
</mt:ifnonempty>
</mt:pages>

I think that should work. Let me know.

Hi Gautam,

Thanks for your reply. Your solution made the subnav items repeat several times, so I used it to tinker with what I had originally and finally got it to work like this:

        <mt:If tag="PageTitle" eq="Schools List">
            <$mt:include module="Left nav - schools subnav"$>
        </mt:If>

        <mt:Else>
        <MTIfNonEmpty tag="pagefolder">
        <mt:IfFolder label="Schools List">
            <$mt:include module="Left nav - schools subnav"$>
        </mt:IfFolder>
        </mt:IfNonEmpty>
        </mt:Else>

It didn't seem to matter whether I included the <MTPages> tag or not, but it occurred to me that I was starting out with an MTIfFolder without introducing an MTFolders tag first. That tag wasn't quite right, but the MTIfNonEmpty did the trick! Phew...

I wish Six Apart would be more explicit and note that the MtIfFolder tag has to be inside something else... or maybe I missed something. Anyway, thanks again, we got it figured out! Thank goodness.

Argh, haha, how do you get the brackets to show up? In my email it showed < and > but now in my email it's showing ampersands. Sigh... Anyway, hope you can read that...

Your code should read:

    <mt:If tag="PageTitle" eq="Schools List">
        <$mt:include module="Left nav - schools subnav"$>
    </mt:If>

    <mt:Else>
    <MTIfNonEmpty tag="pagefolder">
    <mt:IfFolder label="Schools List">
        <$mt:include module="Left nav - schools subnav"$>
    </mt:IfFolder>
    </mt:IfNonEmpty>
    </mt:Else>

:-) I don't about email, but you should just cut and paste it here with about 8 spaces in front of each line. Works just fine.

I agree, your code is neater. Well done!
