Custom Variable yes or no

[wesleythorne]

Hi, I would like to create a custom variable for my products.
The variable would be 'Gelatine free' I could in theory have a yes or no selector on the product , if i set the variable to yes on a product I would like a 'yes' to appear next to the product in-store.

Not to sure how to set this up, any ideas please
Thanks
Wes

You could create a variable, assign it a value of no at the site level, and make it available at product level (maybe configure it to show on the properties tab). On products that are gelatin free, assign a yes value.

Add the HTML code required to show the text 'Gelatin Free = Yes' to your product layout and then wrap that code in a condition that tests your variable value.

Bill has the idea. However you can make Variables of type True/False, so you cannot select anything but that.

Create such a Variable called GelatineFree. Do this via Design / Library / Variables / Product. Right-click Product and choose New variable.

Set

Name: GelatineFree
Prompt: GelatineFree
Group: Product
Place of Setting: Site, Section, Product
Allow <Use Parent>..: Checked
Tab Name: Properties
Type: True/False
Initial Value: Use Parent
Top level Value: False


Then add a bit of code to your product layout where you want this message displayed:-

	<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22GelatineFree%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20true" >
	Gelatine free.
	</actinic:block>
