Hi,
I just upgraded from 4.12 to 4.21. A similar problem was reported here (http://www.movabletype.org/cgi-bin/mt/mt-query.cgi?IncludeBlogs=24&search=mtiffolder) but the solution offered is not working for me. I have not had a reply to my issue so far and perhaps the title there is not indicative enough of the problem.
Here is my code: [ the solution suggested by Gautam that worked for dimlau ]
So I have a title for the section, and when one is in that section the subnav shows up. It's also possible to do this with keywords, but that would mean one more thing my client has to remember once per year to include in new pages for the category.
It's giving me the out-of-context error that dimlau mentioned, regardless of whether it's in a page or an index template. I need to get this working again ASAP. Thanks in advance for your help!

Er... my code disappeared...
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:
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:
:-) 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!
