[Solved] Display something only if page alias LIKE ?

[xmas3]

Hi all,
Im trying to write a condition, that shows something (menu, text) only if page-alias contains some text/preffix.
Something similar as you can use in sqls  LIKE '%bob%' .

Is it possible to do it with smarty?

I tryied

Code: Select all

{if $page_alias == "text%"} 

in my page template but doesnt work.

Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,Miro

In MenuManager you can use include/exclude extension

Yes, of course, but what if I would like show other components (static text, banners etc.) only on selected pages having some predefined text in page-alias? Hmm?

No, for this you must change module sql code for = to LIKE behaviour

You could do it with smarty though. 

Code: Select all

   {if $page_alias|truncate:5:"" == "show_"}
      ...
        MY CODE
      ...
   {/if}

What this code will do in your template is the following: It will limit the alias to the first 5 characters. If our alias is "articlename", the variable will contain: "artic". If our alias has a prefix like "show_articlename", the variable will contain "show_". It then compares these first characters of the alias string with a defined string. If that is equal it does something.

If you want to use another prefix, state the character length behind truncate and state the desired prefix where you read "show_".


Hope this could solve your issue...
