Answered Redirect User Based on Cookie Value

I have a Formit agreement form a user needs to pass through to access information. The form redirects to the information resource, and there a cookie stores the agreement validation. If the user logs out and revisits the site, I want to bypass the agreement form and redirect to the info resource.

I'm using cookieJar, If, and a redirect snippet for this. If detects the cookie value, but the redirect snippet executes regardless of the If condition.

I've used both Redirectoid and the GotoURL snippet (not in the extras repository, but on Github (https://gist.github.com/intersel/442a55761b6df02334590f4db0bd2abe). The latter has a true / false parameter, where true means do nothing -- this is what I have in use below.

Any thoughts on this? FWIW, this is the current If usage (I've gone through a few iterations):

Then only the then or the else-part gets executed

Thanks Bruno. Is this specific to the If snippet, or just how the modX parser works?

This has todo with the parsing-order of MODX-tags.
The parsers parses from inside to outside.
As soon as the parser sees the snippet-tag it will execute the snippet.

But, if you do it the other way, it will first execute the If - snippet, which results in

In the next parsing-loop, the parser sees only the remaining snippet-tag or

you could do it also this way:

Bruno, thanks for the explanations -- very helpful and much appreciated.
