Very Strange I might be missing something in this IF statement

Basically this if statement will only show the chunk if its not on the homepage but it isn't working

[[!If? &subject=`[[*id]]` &operator=`!=` &operand=`1` &then=`[[$feature_right]]`]]

Any ideas as to why.

Sometimes it helps to add an "else" part:

[[!If? &subject=`[[*id]]` &operator=`!=` &operand=`1` &then=`[[$feature_right]]` &else=``]]

Or try using an output modifier:

[[*id:isnot=`1`:then=`[[$feature_right]]`:else=``]]

This should work

[[!If? &subject=`[[*id]]` &operator=`EQ` &operand=`1` &then=`[[$feature_right]]`]]

Or use a separate template for the home page, or (my preference) use a TV with the default being the chunk tags, and empty it for the home page resource. That makes four ways to accomplish the same thing wink

I agree with sottwell's solution. This site is very old and needs a overhaul. But in the mean time this solution worked

[[*id:isnot=`1`:then=`[[$feature_right]]`:else=``]]

Thanks to ottogal
