v4.0.x How to compare variable

[hel68c +]

Hi,

I created a checkbox "extrafields" name "Prefered Payment" with 9 options:

1 Cash
2 Check
3 Cash On Delivery (COD)
4 Money Order/Cashiers Check
5 PayPal
6 Visa/MasterCard
7 American Express
8 Discover
9 Other (explain in your ad description)

In Viewlisting2.tpl I need to compare the option to know wich one as been choose from the client.

Eg: if client choose 1 Cash and 5 Paypal

it will display "Prefered Payment: Cash, Paypal"

in viewlisting2.tpl I write this code:

{if $extrafields.16.value.0|truncate:1:""=="1"
Cash,
{elseif $extrafields.16.value.0|truncate:1:""=="2"}
Check,
{elseif $extrafields.16.value.0|truncate:1:""=="3"}
Cash on Delivery,
{/if}

and so on...

{if $extrafields.16.value.1|truncate:1:""=="1"
Cash,
{elseif $extrafields.16.value.1|truncate:1:""=="2"}
Check,
{elseif $extrafields.16.value.1|truncate:1:""=="3"}
Cash on Delivery,
{/if}

and so on up to 9...

That's a lot of COMPARISON.

Do you know a method that is more effective?

I'm not sure I'm understanding why you feel that you need to add all that logic. For each checkbox that is checked, that is added to the field, so when the field is displayed as you showed in your posting, it will show all of the items that were checked.

What exactly is it that you are trying to accomplish?

Hi Mike,

I need to compare this field because I used two languages. So all depend on the user choice in french or english.

in english the option fields are:

1 Cash
2 Check
3 Cash On Delivery (COD)
4 Money Order/Cashiers Check
5 PayPal
6 Visa/MasterCard
7 American Express
8 Discover
9 Other (explain in your ad description)

in french the option fields are:

1 Argent comptant
2 Ch�que
3 Paiement sur livraison
4 Mandat-Poste/Traite banquaire
5 PayPal
6 Visa/MasterCard
7 American Express
8 Discover
9 Autre (pr�ciser dans la description)

so I compare with the first letter (number)


I do not know if I well explain my application?

use in_array on $extrafields.16.value

[hel68c +]

Hi Lhotch,

I tried this code on my template but it doesn't work.

{if in_array($extrafields.16.value)=="Cash"}
Cash,
{/if}

Do I have to do inside a foreach?

[hel68c +]

Ok I find it

the Code is

{if in_array("Check",$extrafields.16.value)}
Check,
{/if}

Thanks for your help
