using smarty

[trick]

I'm using htdig to index my site, but the problem is that it indexes the navigation menu, which confuses it a little bit. While the results are usually still pretty good, there not as good as they could be. So I want CMS to not display the navigation bar if the useragent has 'htdig' in it. would this work?

{if htdig}
{cmsmodule module='CSSMenu'}
{/if}

and then add as a user defined function for 'htdig'

if( instr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"htdig")!==false){ return true; }
return false;

I had a similar problem, I wanted to use the current page alias in a smarty if statement in my template. Like you, I tried to use a tag in the if-statement instead of a variable, but that did not seem to work and I cannot find anything about this in the smarty documentation. Perhaps it is just not possible?

What I did instead was to work around it. I use the tag to set a variable with the result and then use this variable in the if statement. You should be able to do something similar.

My tag {thispage}:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;
$smarty->assign('thispage',$gCms->variables['page_name']);

My template:

Code: Select all

{thispage}
{if $thispage == "xxxx"}
Some stuff here...
{/if}

It is not pretty, but it works... Does anyone know of a more elegant solution?

Thanks, I had tried this before, but I couldn't get it to work consitantly, it was acting incredibly weird. I finnally figured out why, The firefox UA switcher doesn't actually take effect until *after* the next page reload, so I was thinking my user agent was somthing it wasn't.
