Question

I have a topic which includes a form. On this topic I would like to use %IF statement, in which results will depend on formfield value specified in condition. Formfield type: select, possible values: A, B. If formfield=A then="X" else="Y".

Is it possible to use formfield in %IF% ?

%IF{"$formfield(formfieldName)='formfieldValue'" then="THEN" else="ELSE"}%

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Reading the IfStatements docs, it does not look like IF supports form fields. Possibly combine with %FORMFIELD{}%

Peter is right. Using FORMFIELD:

   * Test on !AnsweredQuestions: %IF{"$'FORMFIELD{SupportStatus}'='AnsweredQuestions'" then="This question has been answered" else="not (so asked)"}%
   * Test on !AskedQuestions: %IF{"$'FORMFIELD{SupportStatus}'='AskedQuestions'" then="This question has not been answered" else="not (so answered)"}%

Results in:

• Test on AnsweredQuestions: This question has been answered
• Test on AskedQuestions: not (so answered)

Thanks you all for a tip, I have already checked and this works.

Does anyone know if this works with % SEARCH %? So, if the form is not on the topic, but I want to display conditional text in a search table (that is based on a form field in the topics being searched), is there a way to use the same feature?

I used the SpreadSheetPlugin for that purpose. I tried to check whether a formfield (containing multiple values) contains the String "WarnHinweise". Here is the code:

$percntCALC{\"$IF(  $SEARCH(WarnHinweise, $LISTJOIN($expand(SubjectCategory)) )>0, !! Warnhinweis !! )\"}$percnt
