Liquid Wiki Wrong?

by shopcora - Member - 07:49PM, Jun 29, 2008

I was using this example from the wiki:

{% if user.name == 'tobi' or if user.name == 'marc' %} 
  hi marc or tobi
{% endif %}

After changing it to fit my needs I received an error.

However when modifying it to this (taking out the second “if”) it worked as expected:

{% if user.name == 'tobi' or user.name == 'marc' %} 
  hi marc or tobi
{% endif %}

So is the wiki wrong? I didn’t want to change it myself b/c I have little to no programming/liquid knowledge and wanted to double check.

I then took out the second “if” (if collection.handle == ‘under-20’%} ) and the “or” statement worked as expected. See below: `{% if collection.handle == 'dresses' or collection.handle == 'under-20' %} sample content {% endif %}` So that made me think the wiki example was wrong. Who knows maybe I’m just going crazy. --- Cora Boutique – trendy and fashionable women’s clothing www.shopcora.com — Last edited 10:44PM, Jun 29, 2008

I put an extra ‘if’ there: http://forums.shopify.com/categories/2/posts/20554#comment-20558. I will go correct my Liquid code. Please correct the Wiki, Tobi. Or is there a way we can edit the Wiki ourselves? :-) --- Caroline from http://11heavens.com — Last edited 10:07PM, Jul 04, 2008
