PHx never sees checkbox value, even though it is checked

I have a wayfinder call which outputs a menu.

I want to make sure that it only ever includes a menu item that has been checked as "Show on homepage" (template variable).

But the problem is, even though I have checked some menu options, it never seems to see the value.



The checkbox template variable is:



Why does it not see those the value of `tv_showHomepage`?

Secondly, how do I make it say:

"If tv_showHomepage = Yes then display menu item"

Thanks.

I couldn’t figure out what the problem was, in the end I custom built a snippet to handle what I needed and have now resolved this problem (whatever it was).

I see exactly the same issue, phx not seeing the value of a checkbox, but it also applies to radio buttons, dropmenus..

Did anyone find out what the problem is?

UPDATE: when the tv, like the one in the example above [+tv_showHomepage+] is accessed elsewhere in the ditto template, phx does process the checkbox value. For instance one can wrap <!--[+tv_showHomepage+]--> or use it as an $option variable for a snippet call like this: [[void=’[+tv_showHomepage+]’]]. The php for the snippet than just needs a return:



Clearly a bug of some sort.

Thanks

I’m having this exact same issue. So I don’t understand your last post, what is the solution? Where file do I return a value on?

Could you please post your solution (snippecode). There are many having the same question.

Thanks.

Hi everybody!

In Evo 1.0.2 it works with no trouble!

Best regards!

I’m having the same issue, and I’m using 1.0.2

[+phx:if=`[*showComments*]`:is=``:then=`{{Comments}}`:else=``+]

doesn’t work.

If I try this: [+phx:if=`1`:is=``:then=`[*showComments*]`:else=``+] nothing is returned. (i.e. showComments is NULL even though I am checking it)

Hi,

I don’t if this apply to WF as I haven’t looked at the code but perhaps the template are parsed to find the placeholders.
So the phx syntax could break the finding of tags and the values used for PHx comparison do not exist.

:)

It seems that the issue is related to the findingTags function.
Try ti add the tv name to the &tvList param.

This should work.

Hope that helps

I’m not sure how to use your suggestion... but what I did do was add "true, false" to the input option values... which seems to have worked!
