---+ =IF= Statements
|
|
|
|
The =%<nop>IF%= construct gives TWiki the power to include content in topics based on the value of simple expressions.
|
|
|
|
=%<nop>IF{"CONDITION" then="THEN" else="ELSE"}%=
|
|
|
|
In the example above, if CONDITION evaluates to TRUE, then THEN will be included in the topic; otherwise ELSE will be included.
|
|
|
|
What can be included in the THEN and ELSE parameters is obviously limited by standard TWiki syntax for parameters.
|
|
|
|
The basic syntax of a condition is as follows:
|
|
<verbatim>
|
|
expr ::= '(' expr ')' ;
|
|
expr ::= andexpr | andexpr 'or' expr ;
|
|
andexpr ::= notexpr | notexpr 'and' andexpr ;
|
|
notexpr ::= basexpr | 'not' baseexpr ;
|
|
basexpr ::= atom | uop atom | atom bop basexpr ;
|
|
uop ::= 'context' | 'defined' | '$' ;
|
|
bop ::= '=' | '!=' | '>' | '<' | '>=' | '<=' ;
|
|
atom ::= context identifier, TWiki variable name, single-quoted string, or configuration item
|
|
</verbatim>
|
|
| *Operators* ||
|
|
| and | True if both sides are true |
|
|
| or | True if one or other side is true |
|
|
| not | negate the following expression |
|
|
| <nop>=, !<nop>= | String comparison |
|
|
| <, >, <=, >= | Number comparison (there is no explicit numeric =) |
|
|
| context | True if the current context is set (see below) |
|
|
| defined | True if a preference variable or url parameter of this name is defined. |
|
|
| $ | expands a URL parameter or [[TWikiVariables][TWikiVariable]]. Plugin handlers *are not called*. Built-in variables and user-defined preferences are supported. You can pass a limited subset of parameters to TWiki variables by enclosing the variable name in single quotes; for example, =$ 'VARIABLE{value}'=. The ='VARIABLE{value}'= string may *not* contain quotes (' or "). |
|
|
examples:
|
|
<verbatim>
|
|
TWiki variable defined or not
|
|
%IF{"defined WIKINAME" then="WIKINAME is defined" else="WIKINAME is not defined"}%
|
|
|
|
You are %IF{ "$ WIKINAME='TWikiGuest' and not defined OPEN_DAY" then="not" }% allowed to
|
|
%IF{ "context view" then="view" else="edit"}% this TWiki today.
|
|
|
|
URL parameter
|
|
%IF{ "defined search" then="Search: %URLPARAM{search}%" else="No search passed in"}%
|
|
|
|
Configuration item set or not
|
|
%IF{ "{AntiSpam}{HideUserDetails}" then="User details are hidden" }%
|
|
|
|
url param t is %IF{ "0 < $ t and $ t < 1000" then="in" else="out of"}% range.
|
|
|
|
Text comparison
|
|
%IF{ "$'URLPARAM{scope}'='text'" then="Plain text search" }%
|
|
</verbatim>
|
|
|
|
*Configuration items* are defined in [[%SCRIPTURLPATH{"configure"}%][configure]]. You cannot see the value of a configuration item, you can only see if the item is set or not.
|
|
|
|
*Context identifiers* are used in TWiki to label various stages of the rendering process. They are especially useful for [[TWikiSkins][skin]] authors to find out where they are in the rendering process. The following context identifiers are available:
|
|
| *id* | *context* |
|
|
| absolute_urls | Set if absolute URLs are required |
|
|
| authenticated | a user is authenticated |
|
|
| body_text | when the body text is being processed in a view (useful in plugin handlers) |
|
|
| can_login | current environment supports login |
|
|
| changes | in changes script (see TWikiScripts) |
|
|
| command_line | the running script was run from the command line, and not from CGI |
|
|
| diff | in rdiff script (see TWikiScripts) |
|
|
| edit | in edit script (see TWikiScripts) |
|
|
| footer_text | when the footer text is being processed in a view (useful in plugin handlers) |
|
|
| header_text | when the header text is being processed in a view (useful in plugin handlers) |
|
|
| i18n_enabled | when user interface I18N support is enabled (i.e., user can choose the language for UI) |
|
|
| inactive | if active links such as 'edit' and 'attach' should be disabled |
|
|
| mirror | if this is a mirror |
|
|
| new_topic | if the topic doesn't already exist |
|
|
| oops | in oops script (see TWikiScripts) |
|
|
| preview | in preview script (see TWikiScripts) |
|
|
| rss | if this is an RSS skin rendering |
|
|
| save | in save script (see TWikiScripts) |
|
|
| search | in search script (see TWikiScripts) |
|
|
| view | in view script (see TWikiScripts) |
|
|
| rest | in rest script (see TWikiScripts) |
|
|
|
|
In addition there is a context identifier for each enabled plugin; for example, if =Gallous<nop>BreeksPlugin= is installed *and enabled*, then the context ID =Gallous<nop>BreeksPluginEnabled= will be set. Other extensions may set additional context identifiers.
|
|
|
|
The =%<nop>IF%= statement is deliberately kept simple. In particular, note that there is no way to conditionally execute a Set statement. If you need more sophisticated control over formatting, then consider using the SpreadSheetPlugin.
