Hi, I try to put this snippet in a textarea:

[[!If? &subject=`[[+fi.bericht]]` &operator=`empty` &then=`Voer een bericht in...` &else=`[[+fi.bericht]]` &debug=`1`]]

Which gives the following output:

Array
(
    [subject] => test

    [operator] => empty
    [operand] => 
    [then] => Voer een bericht in...
    [else] => test

    [debug] => 1
)
string(22) "Voer een bericht in..."
Voer een bericht in...

But the subject ’test’ really is NOT empty?! But the snippet doesn’t seem to get it..
How can I solve it?

Thanks

Hello

Did you try

[[!If? &subject=`[[+fi.bericht]]` &operator=`EQ` &operand=`` &then=`Voer een bericht in...` &else=`[[+fi.bericht]]` `]]

You can also use an output modifier like :

[[+fi.bericht:is=``:then=`[[+fi.bericht]]`:else=`Voer een bericht in...` ]]

Hope this helps, feel free to ask if you still in trouble
Cheers

Hi,

First of all thanks for your help.
But unfortunately it still doesn’t work.
When I try the first code (operator=EQ operand=``), I have the same problem. It only shows ’Voer een bericht in..’. Even if [[+fi.bericht]] is not empty.

When I try the second one, (+fi.bericht:is=``:then=`[[+fi.bericht]]`:else=`Voer een bericht in...`) it only shows [[+fi.bericht]], even if I posted the form with a value in the textarea.

Really strange... huh

May be a problem with your form ...
I can have a look if you want (with absolutly no guarantee to find something helpful) could you post your code or send it to me via PM?
Cheers

Hi,

i had the same problem while testing with operator "empty". Maybe could you ~~file a bug @ http://bugs.modx.com~~ open an issue @ http://github.com/splittingred/If/issues

Anyway you could also try :

[[!+fi.bericht:is=``:then=`NULL`:else=`NOT NULL`]]

Hope that helps

Edit : Anso was faster than me (and i didn’t read efficiently, sorry)

Okay, here is the full code of the form (FormIt snippet) with the If-snippet/Output-modifier-tags (without some extra HTML):

<p>[[+fi.error.error_message]]</p>

<form action="[[~[[*pageid]]]]" method="post">
<input name="nospam:blank" type="hidden" />

<label for="naam">Naam</label>
<input id="naam" name="naam" value="[[+fi.naam]]" /><br />[[+fi.error.naam]]

<label for="email">E-mail adres</label>
<input id="email" name="email" value="[[+fi.email]]" /><br />[[+fi.error.email]]

<label for="onderwerp">Onderwerp</label>
<input id="onderwerp" name="onderwerp" value="[[+fi.onderwerp]]" /><br />[[+fi.error.onderwerp]]

<textarea onclick="this.focus(); this.select();" name="bericht">
[[+fi.bericht:is=``:then=`[[+fi.bericht]]`:else=`Voer een bericht in...`]]
</textarea><br />
[[+fi.error.bericht]]

[[!+formit.recaptcha_html]] <br /><br />[[+fi.error.recaptcha]] 

<input class="button" style="float: right;" name="submit" type="submit" value="Verzenden" />
</form>


[[!FormIt? &hooks=`recaptcha,spam,email,redirect` &errTpl=`<div style="color: red; font-weight: normal;">[[+error]]</div>` &recaptchaTheme=`white` &emailTo=`[email protected]` &redirectTo=`19` &validate=`naam:required,email:required:email,bericht:required`]]
<div style="clear:both;"> </div>

I hope you can find a solution for the problem with this full code tongue

Hello

Try this

<textarea onclick="this.focus(); this.select();" name="bericht" [[+fi.bericht:is=``:then=`[[+fi.bericht]]`:else=`Voer een bericht in...`]]></textarea><br />
[[+fi.error.bericht]

As you can see I put the modifier inside the <textarea> tag, ... It should work I guess, let me know, I can’t test it right now ^_^

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for your help, but unfortunately it still doesn’t work sad

Now the textarea is always empty, strange.. That would mean that it should be after <textarea>, but it is more about the modifier I think (the is-then-else part)... But how to solve it..

Sorry to hear it does not work... Indeed I never tried this with a textarea... It works fine with "<input type="text">"...

So the only solution I see is to write a snippet that displays the text area filled in with "Voer een bericht in..." in case it’s value is empty... Something like

$bericht = $_POST['bericht'];

if($bericht==''){
  $output = '<textarea onclick="this.focus(); this.select();" name="bericht">Voer een bericht in...</textarea>';
}
else{
  $output = '<textarea onclick="this.focus(); this.select();" name="bericht">[[+fi.bericht]]</textarea>';
}
return $output;

Hope this can help you, or put you on a way you can explore further...
Cheers
