Add Conditional Logic
You may also need templates or custom views to have conditional logic or handle different cases in the results. To add conditions, use these template statements:
{{if condition}}...{{/if}}: where the condition is any valid JavaScript condition. To check for the presence of a field in the results, use the path to that field as the condition.
{{else condition}}...{{/else}}: can be used within an if-statement. The condition is any valid JavaScript condition. To check for the presence of a field in the results, use the path to that field as the condition.
{{else}}...{{/else}}: can be used within an if-statement to provide a default behavior if none of the conditions are true.
To generate the path to a field as part of a condition
1. Place the cursor inside the if or else start-statement
2. Add a space after if or else.
3. Click on the field you want in the Data pane.
Insert the appropriate HTML and other template syntax within the start- and end-statements.
This example change the background color and text color based on the value of a field:
See
If Syntax and
Else Syntax for more information on conditional statements in jQuery templates. See
Conditional Logic, No Repeating Items and Namespaces for a more detailed example.
