SOLVED :: IF addon- could someone give me an example please?

Hi,

I have been looking at the if addon (http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/If) to see if it could help in the following scenario:

I have a chunk for the 'left-sidebar' that contains a secondary menu on all pages. Rather than create another sidebar i would like to use just one but on my news page i would like to show the archives above the secondary menu. The archives will be unique to the news template only and i was wondering whether the if addon culd be used to say something like - "If using template #3 then display [[archives]] else [[don't display archives]].

It sounds simple but i need some guidance if anyone can help.

Thanks

Something like this:

Actually you don't even need If, you can use an output filter:

Now that is brilliant.

I'm reading up on output and input filters now...didn't know they existed but they will come in very handy.

Thanks for the quick response.
