    Basically I want the contents of this variable to show up if the page isn’t the home page but the sub page

    [[!If &subject!=`[[ultimateparent]]` &operator=`is` &operand=`3` &them=`[[*feature_right]]`]]

      Typos!
      [[!If &subject=`[[ultimateparent]]` &operator=`is` &operand=`3` &then=`[[*feature_right]]`]]


      Also:
      - you might be wanting to use ’isnot’ instead of ’is’.
      - ultimateparent is by default titled UltimateParent. That needs to match in your snippet call too.

        I tired that but it didn’t work. So if the page isnot ultimate parent then show the variable content.

        [[!If &subject!=`[[ultimateparent]]` &operator=`is` &operand=`3` &then=`[[*feature_right]]`]]

              You still have [tt]&subject!=[/tt], you can’t do that. If you need ’!=’, use &operator=`isnot` instead:
              [[!If &subject=`[[ultimateparent]]` &operator=`isnot` &operand=`3` &then=`[[*feature_right]]`]]

              And like I said, use UltimateParent unless you changed the snippet name to lowercase

                Still not working

                [[!If &subject=`[[UltimateParent]]` &operator=`isnot` &operand=`3` &then=`[[*feature_right]]`]]


                I even output [[UltimateParent]] and it works. Showed 1 or 2 depending on the page I was on. I also output [[*feature_right]] on its own and it worked.

                  Can a snippet in Revo use TV tags? Would accessing the TV value via the API work?
