Blocks and attributes

[agilbo]

I am trying to show only the PRODUCTNAME if the product has an attribute and choice, but if there isn't an attribute and choice I want to show the PRODUCTREFERENCE as well as the PRODUCTNAME

I have tried a block if on ATTRIBUTENAME etc but the page tells me I have coding errors. I cannot see the coding errors which is frustrating.

Can someone please help with which variable should be in the block?

<h2 class="yellowTX">
<a name="<Actinic:Variable Name="EncodedProductAnchor"/>"></a>
<Actinic:Variable Name="ProductName"/>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22AttributeName%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22%22">
- <actinic:variable name="ProductReference" />
</actinic:block>
</h2>

Cheers

Try it on the attribute display label instead, see if that works.

Hi,

Same outcome, coding errors!

Try using the AttributeCount variable to test if a product has attributes or not?

[agilbo]

No Coding errors with attribute count == 0 or with it < 1 bu the the Productreference still shows

AttributeName will only work within an Attribute List. And that negative condition is a problem. You'll need something like:

<actinic:block php="true">$noattributes = true;</actinic:block>
<actinic:block type="AttributeList">
	<actinic:block php="true">$noattributes = false;</actinic:block>
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block php="true">
	if ( $noattributes ) echo '<actinic:variable encoding="perl" selectable="false" name="ProductReference" />';
</actinic:block>

Note that Attributes withing Components may be handled differently, so you may need to experiment there.
