Using smarty variable with... variables

[ronin +]

Hi to everyone,

I use a lot of smarty statment in my template, but I have a question.

I want to use (if possible) smarty variable with... variables..

I'll explain better: I have on my web site AdSense advertisement, but I really don't want to show this on some page.
Now.. problem is really easy to solve when the page I don't want ads have "standard" url.
Example, if I don't want ads on my index page, I wrote:

{if $smarty.server.REQUEST_URI == "/"}
NO ADS HERE
{else}
ADS CODE HERE
{/if}

Problem I try to solve is with page with variable.
Example, I want to remouve ads from ANY page of checkout process.

Is there any way to say

{if $smarty.server.REQUEST_URI == "/usercheckout.php?and_any_possible_variable_after_that?"}
{/if}

Thanks for reply!


What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?

{if $SCRIPT_NAME == "/usercheckout.php"}


I believe that will work.

Thanks Seymourjames,

And... I have another question too.. (related, of course, to smarty statments..)

I have "only adult listings categories" where - of course - I don't want AdSense ads.

I wrote something similar:

{if $categoryname == "CATEGORY NAME 1"}
NO ADS HERE
{elseif $categoryname == "CATEGORY NAME 2"}
NO ADS HERE
{elseif $categoryname == "CATEGORY NAME 2"}
NO ADS HERE
---------
A LOT OF OTHER CATEGORY....
{/if}

Of course, this make page text (and weight..) very big...

Is there any way to say:

{if $categoryname == "CATEGORY NAME 1 // and CATEGORY NAME 2 // and CATEGORY NAME 3 // and so on?!"}
NO ADS HERE
{/if}

Thanks for reply!

Have you close tags?

{if $SCRIPT_NAME == "/usercheckout.php"}
YOUR CODE HERE
{/if}

This is basic SMARTY - logical operators - come on guys do the search in the smarty manual. I think you mean OR and not AND as well. However, I would use categoryID (use the DEBUG facility to see which variable are available - see 68C documentation on the debug facility).

{if $categoryname == 'CATEGORY NAME 1' || $categoryname == 'CATEGORY NAME 2' || $categoryname == 'CATEGORY NAME 2'}
NO ADS HERE
{/if}

Yes it should work in 4.12 as it did in 4.09. THere are a few threads all about testing for specific pages in the forum for SEO purposes (i.e. assigning page titles and meta descriptions).

Yes.. thats what i did.

{if $SCRIPT_NAME == "/usercheckout.php"}
{php} some php code{/php}
{else}
{php} some php code{/php}
{/if}

the smarty tags is not doing the job,, its like never been there, the php codes are fine and giving the right output.

thanks

And Yasser, does it work if you just put some text in rather than php between the tags? Is the path to usercheckout.php correct?

{if $SCRIPT_NAME == "/usercheckout.php"}
HELLO
{else}
GOODBYE
{/if}
