Need To Shorten Conditional

[greggc]

I have the following conditional to hide loyalty points from displaying on the product page. I need to add additional products to this. Can someone advise as how to possibly shorten this? Appreciate the help.

<mvt:if expr="(l.settings:product:code NE 'e-gift-cert' AND l.settings:product:code NE 'gift-cert' AND l.settings:product:code NE 'HKW-1' AND l.settings:product:code NE '662434-83' AND l.settings:product:code NE 'O17-1')"></mvt>

This is a bit convoluted, but it's what I do in that situation:

<mvt:if expr="NOT ( (',' $ l.settings:product:code $ ',') CIN (',e-gift-cert,gift-cert,HKW-1,662434-83,O17-1,AnotherCode,OneMoreCode,YetAnotherCode,EtcEtc,') )">

The extra commas are needed so that it won't accidentally detect a short code that happens to be a substring of a larger one in the list. Note that there are commas at the beginning and end of both strings.

Thanks Kent.

Yes, this is how it always should be done. If this is something an Admin may want to update, we'd typically write it like this:

<mvt:assign name="g.dont_show_points" value="'this_code, that_code, another_code'" />

<mvt:if expr="NOT(', ' $ l.settings:product:code CIN g.dont_show_points)">
points
</mvt:if>

this, in our experiance, makes Admin entry less prone to breaking things. At most, you get a false 'positive' in stead of breaking the conditional altogether.

Question(s) - is this Miva's Points & Loyalty module? If so, would you mind sharing how you get the loyalty points to display on the product page? Thanks!

Follow-up - I used this:

 <mvt:item name="points" param="Product_Points( l.settings:basket, l.settings:product, 0, 0, 1, l.settings:product:points_information )" />


&mvt:product:points_information:base_points_total; <br>
&mvt:product:points_information:base_points;

What is the difference between base_points_total and base_points?
