The old swicha roo

[Grego]

The intent of the code is to match the category and put up the appropriate header; it goes on the CTGY page.

This code throws this error:

Error compiling template: Line 22: Expression compilation failed: Invalid Argument '&' Found in expression

Is there a better variable to put in? Does the text string need to have quotes around it? ( "Fortune Cookies Giant" )

What is the better way? Thank you.

<div class="cookie-header">

    <mvt:if expr="&mvte:category:name; EQ Fortune Cookies Giant">
    <!-- Giant: -->
    <img class="title-cards" src="graphics/en-US/twg/bgheader_01.gif" alt="Fortune Cookies"  />
    <img class="title-cards" src="graphics/en-US/twg/header-giant.jpg" alt="Giant Fortune Cookies" />

Re: The old swicha roo

Your code is close, your just using the entity vs the variable.

You need something like this:

    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:category:name EQ 'Fortune Cookies Giant' ">


    <mvt:else>
    
    </mvt:if>

Any string also needs to be in single quotes.

You could also just populate Header of the category and just use the category header SMT item.

Re: The old swicha roo

That would be more elegant; I just didn't find that variable.

I have another question about finding a <div> with a specific id and insert a header as I've done; should I open a new post?

Re: The old swicha roo

Its:

<mvt:item name="prod_ctgy_hdft" param="ctgy_header" />

You need to also assign the item "prod_ctgy_hdf" to the page if not already assigned.
