Category Filtering on Shop Product
Hi,
I am using categories for my shop products, and am trying to do some filtering in the template to show different information based on what fields are filled in. This is the relevant part of the template:
<perch:categories id="category" set="products" scope-parent="true">
<perch:if id="catTitle" match="contains" value="Clocks">
<perch:if exists="parent.casefinish OR parent.casecolour">
<div class="row">
<div class="info">
<p><strong>Case Colour:</strong></p>
</div>
<div class="value">
<p itemprop="color"><perch:category id="parent.casefinish" type="select" /> <perch:category id="parent.casecolour" type="select" /></p>
</div>
</div>
</perch:if>
</perch:if>
</perch:categories>
casefinish
and casecolour
are both entered in my example, but the row is not showing. Category filtering like this is working elsewhere in the template, however this is the only part where I am checking against more than one id, and using OR
. Is this where the problem lies?
If I switch it to <perch:if exists="parent.casefinish">
it works fine, but I really need to check for either.
Thanks
Mike
What does
<perch:showall />
output?Shows the relevant ID's as having content:
Hmm, not
parent.
prefixed? And all caps?All caps is my css sorry, they are lowercase. There are no
parent.
prefixed entries in showall at all, even ones that I am using. Should there be?That's a good question, I'm not sure. I'll have to run some tests.
For the moment does a nested
if
work?
