[Zope] Re: checking variables

4 Aug 1999


      BTW, the variable is passed in the URL:

http://classifieds.pilotonline.com/cv3/pilot/search?mainclass=Employment&cco
nnect=true
(I removed a bunch of other variables, but you get the idea)

Subject: checking variables
...
I am trying to check for the existance of a variable that is passed in the
URL.  The statement is as follows:
<!--#if cconnect==true-->
        (code block one)
    <!--#else cconnect==true-->
        (code block two)
    <!--#/if cconnect==true-->
The problem is that I always get the second code block.  What am I doing
wrong?  Here is the relevant section of the documentation for the version
that I have:
Conditional insertion is performed using if and else commands. For
example:
        <!--#if name-->
            text
        <!--#/if name-->
    where name is the name of the item.
    To include text when a test is false use:
        <!--#else name-->
            text
        <!--#/else name-->
    To include text when an item is true and to include different text
when
the item is false use:
        <!--#if name-->
            true text
        <!--#else name-->
            false text
        <!--#/if name-->
