adding variable to this code

toolman

Hi there,

I have a small script that will change the background color of a variable in a drop down menu, however, I want to be able to change another variable to a different color, but do not know how.

This is what I have at the moment:

<option value="{$search_cat_id[var]}" style="background: 
                              {if $search_cat_parent[var] == '0'}                               

                              {if $search_cat_id[var] == '98'}#FF0000  

                              {else}#A9DD92{/if} 
                              {else}#FFFFFF 
                              {/if};">{$search_cat_name[var]}</option>

If I try this, it doesn't work:

<option value="{$search_cat_id[var]}" style="background:  

                              {if $search_cat_parent[var] == '0'}                                

                              {if $search_cat_id[var] == '98'}#FF0000  

                              {if $search_cat_id[var] == '99'}#000000   

                              {else}#A9DD92{/if}  

                              {else}#FFFFFF  

                              {/if};">{$search_cat_name[var]}</option>

Sorry I dont have an aswer but is that Smarty template code? Now I know why I havent used it 🙂

Yes it uses a template. Someone else wrote the above code for me, but I need to add a new line ( I added the 4th line), but It doesnt work. I can't seem to get the {if} and {else} in the right place.

Try this:

<option value="{$search_cat_id[var]}" style="background:  

                              {if $search_cat_parent[var] == '0'}                                

                              {if $search_cat_id[var] == '98'}#FF0000  

                              {elseif $search_cat_id[var] == '99'}#000000 
                              {else}#A9DD92{/if}  

                              {else}#FFFFFF  

                              {/if};">{$search_cat_name[var]}</option>

Note the {elseif}. See http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.function.if.php
