Conditional for Account Credit

[studio6t6]

I've used this in previous stores many times and for some reason it's not working on a Shadows framework....

Conditional for determining whether a customer has account credt or not. Is it not this...?

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:customer:credit NE 0">
You have credit
<mvt:else>
You have no credit
</mvt:if>

With or without credit, the message always displays "You have no credit"

What an I doing wrong?

Probably shouldn't have posted this initially on a Sunday afternoon. Still looking for any insight?

Thanks,

I'm not sure what it is (don't have a template handy) but I think I know how you can find it presuming Use Account Balance is activated

1) Create and account
2) Add a balance to that account (make it obvious like 1.99)
3) While logged into the store, use the Token Viewer to see if you can find 1.99.

If that doesn't work, or isn't reliable, I do know there are a couple of API functions you can call to bring it up.

Thanks, Bruce.

Using your method I had an "aha' moment. Changed it to to this, but still no luck...

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:customer:formatted_credit NE 0">

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

well, if its formatted, it would probably be '$0.00' see if there is an l.settings:customer:credit value (which would just be a 0 or 1.99).

I'm using whole numbers because this store is only used with points instead of dollars . But it shouldn't matter I wouldn't think. I just used 199 instead of 1.99. The Tool inspector did find it and that's where I saw the l.settings:customer:formatted_credit.

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

well, yea, cause inspector is matching the 1.99 within $1.99. (The reason for the odd number is you'd find, say '200' in a lot of places.)

So, if there is no l.settings:customer:credit value, do this:

<mvt:assign name=g.s6:customer:credit" value="glosub(l.settings:customer:formatted_credit , '$'. )" />
then use
<mvt:if expr="g.s6:customer:credit" GT 0">

show balance

</mvt:if>

[studio6t6]

Aha!! Yes, that worked. Thank you Bruce! It never occurred to be that it was looking for a decimal and dollar sign. I was getting a validation error, so I massaged it to this....

<mvt:assign name="g.s6:customer:credit" value="glosub(l.settings:customer:formatted_credit , '$' ,'.' )" />

<mvt:if expr="g.s6:customer:credit GT 0">
yes points
<mvt:else>
no points

</mvt:if>

It's Canadian Thanksgiving, so time to have some turkey!!
