Hiding Products From Feed

[aarcmedia]

I'm trying to write logic for a checkbox custom field. Simple, IF CHECKED, show this product in the feed. I'm banging my head against a wall not able to get it to work....

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:record:inventory NE '0' AND l.settings:record:customfield:wwefeed EQ 'Yes'">Show it</mvt:if>

Anyone tell me what moronic thing I'm doing wrong?

its a boolen field so it should return on 1 or nothing...so, i just use

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:pm:thisCheckbox">

or

<mvt:if expr="NOT(l.settings:pm:thisCheckbox)">

cause its less typing

I'd take a closer look at the other half of the expression, l.settings:record:inventory. If that's coming up zero every time, it will prevent the records from being shown.

Also, are you sure that l.settings:record:customfield:wwefeed is the correct variable name? IIRC, Miva custom fields used to require a longer expression, something like l.settings:record:customfield_values:customfields: wwefeed.

I second Bruce's point, the checkbox is a boolean, so simply testing for the existence will return the result you want.

Two additional points
- I strongly recommend using less than or equal to (LE) on your inventory test, just a CYA in the event that an item is oversold and ends up with a negative inventory level.
- Is the custom field selected to be included in the feed? I'm guilty of overlooking this quite often.

  <mvt:if expr="NOT(l.settings:record:inventory LE '0') AND l.settings:record:customfield:wwefeed">Show it</mvt:if>

What through me was in the back end, it shows as No or Yes, so I was thinking that may be the actual value, because I am able to put anything in that field I want.

Also, yes I tried the version that also included customfield_values and that didn't work either, hence me trying the shorter version.

I'll try the suggestions here and will report back.

Token List should show what the actual variables available are.
