Use of if in main_content.post.tpl

Hi there



I am trying to solve a problem I am having in v224 with an if statement.



I want to run a script on all pages except the cart and checkout pages. So I tried an if statement like {if $content == “cart” || $content == “checkout”} in the main_content.post.tpl in the folder index but had no results.



I had that with an else statement again nothing. It s like it doesn’t take in count the if statement at all.



Is it content or control ? Am I missing something? Should I try another hook instead of main_content?



Please any ideas?

Well today out of the blue it works fine!



Although yesterday after countless cache cleans and trials with != (that's for not equal) and also && instead of || today I just loaded the page and it started working just fine…



Go figure.

Change $content to $controller



$content is usually the actual html page content

Hi tbimseth



Yes I actually did that also but forgot to write it.



Good call.

I also use very often $config.current_url smarty variable for the same purpose


```php

{if $config.current_url!='index.php'}


{else}

{/if}
```

Nice one Captain.



Never thought of that.



I ll say this post can be a nice sticky if we gather a few more ideas.

Should use a class, not embedded style. Bad practice.

Also, you should probably use


{if $controller == 'index'}


instead of $config.current_url since that would also include any http_path that is defined in config.local.php resulting in your test failing.
