if/else statements seem impossible

weaselweasel · Post by **weaselweasel** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 11:06 pm

I've been searching for hours now, but can't find the solution for this simple issue. Searched all forums, but no luck...

All I want to do is build this inside a template:

{$myname = 'bob'}

{if $myname == 'bob'} Hello I'm Bob! {else} I am not Bob {/if}

It's as simple as that, and still it's the most difficult issue in CMSMS I have ever faced. (after 2 hours of trying, I'm starting to wonder if it's even possible).

Someone please help.

Cheers,
Jeroen

Try:

{assign var=myname value='bob'}

You're a hero!
Works like a charm! Thanks a bunch.

(They should put this somewhere in the manual though)
