Issue placing testimonial based on ProductField code

[royhink]

I am working on placing testimonials onto a page based on a "code" I put into PAGE.Field10, and it's not happening.

The idea is to put the testimonial that is relevant to the product line into an INCLUDE file, and place it onto the correct page.

The background graphic is coming thru fine, but not the testimonial.

One issue: I am using nested INCLUDES, but it's not working, even with the PROCESS tag put in. Is it possible to nest INCLUDES? Or do I have a syntax issue?

Any help mucho appreciated.

This is code I've got so far.

<!-- ## DISPLAY BANNER ## -->
[-- IF PAGE.Field10 --]
<tr><td colspan="2" width="600" height="200" align="right" valign="center"
background="media/Banners/[-- PAGE.Field10 --]Banner.jpg">
<!-- ## TESTIMONIAL DISPLAYED OVER BANNER GRAPHIC ## -->
[-- INCLUDE Test_[-- PAGE.Field10 --] --]
</td></tr>
[-- END_IF --]

Roy,

You've got the right idea. You're just trying to execute it the wrong way.

Your include file should look something like this:

Code: Select all

[ IF VAR.testimonial "code1" --]
  code1 stuff here
[-- ELSE_IF VAR.testimonial "code2" --]
  code2 stuff here
[-- ELSE_IF VAR.testimonial "code3" --]
  code3 stuff here
[-- END_IF --]


The code1, code2, and code3 are what you would enter in your Product.Field10.

Now, where you want to use this include you would have:

Code: Select all

[-- IF Product.Field10 --]
 [-- VAR.testimonial Product.Field10 --]
 [-- INCLUDE include_name_here PROCESS --]
[-- END_IF --]


All this does is set the value of the testimonial variable to the code in Product.Field10 then loop through the include file looking for a match.

Thanks for the "A-HA!!" moment, Jereme. I guess I was just looking at it differently, and could not see the VAR solution.

I'm still interested to know if you can nest INCLUDE tags. No?

An Include file can include other files that have Include tags.
In in file a you can say
[-- Include file_b process --]
and in file_b you can have
[-- include file_c process --]
Note that if the first one didn't have the "process" option then the second one would not be executed.

However in general you can't nest tags themselves like you had
[-- INCLUDE Test_[-- PAGE.Field10 --] --]
