!= false

[UnknownServices]

I"m using the fowlloing in my footer template:

<if condition="$show['sidebar'] != false">
 <!-- Sidebar -->
 <!-- Update -->
 		</td>
 	</tr>
 </table>
 <!-- /Update -->
 		</td>
 	</tr>
 </table>
 <!-- /Sidebar -->
 </if>

I want to know why the condition statment isn't working. In the file that I don't want that to show in the footer I put this
$show['sidebar'] = false;
but I don't know why its not working.

Use :

<if condition="!show['sidebar']">blahba;h</if>

you cant add php directly to the files, and by default there is no $show['sidebar'] varible.

How do I create the variable? I'm not adding it to the file, I added $show['sidebar'] = false; to the a .php file.

Sorry, we don't support custom code.

The conditional for the template is correct:

<if condition="!show['sidebar']">yourcode</if>
meaning if the variable is empty .. it will show yourcode.

So if I put show['sidebar']=false; it will not show, but if it isn't defined it will show?

[Floris]

No.

show['sidebar'] should be $show['sidebar']

and the = makes it a 'set this variable value to x' rather then == which means 'the value is is equal to what i match it against'

If you set it to 'false' in your php code, you should use:

<if condition="$show['sidebar'] == 'false'">sidebar is false</if>

and if you don't want it to match

<if condition="$show['sidebar'] != 'false'">sidebar is not false but has another value</if>

Ok thanks for that. Do I have to create the varaible or is it created when I set it, if so where would I create it?
