texte = Hi Govinda, I will try to explain in an alternative way. But first thanks for your = input which I am trying to decipher :) Well, imaging having one physical file of WebDNA acting in different = ways depending on the actual URL which is loaded. Like = 'http://www.macnyt.dk/forum/' loads a list of the most recent articles = in a forum and 'http://www.macnyt.dk/forum/?query=3D72837' loads a = specific thread and shows it. Note, that both results is from the same = WebDNA file and as such have the same URL - the only difference is that = the second URL has some variables attached. So now I would like to make some [showif] statements to help me showing = the user what he requested. If he requested = 'http://www.macnyt.dk/forum/' then the first imageinary showif (below) = should work. ---- [showif [thisurl]=3D/forum/] result a [/showif] [showif [thisurl]=3D/forum/?query=3D72837]] result b [/showif] ---- The problem is that if I do a '[showif [thisurl]=3D/forum/?query=3D72837]]= ' then this is also parsing the '[showif [thisurl]=3D/forum/]' since = [thisurl] only contain the 'forum' part and not the '?quert=3D72837' = part. If I was to use the newer version of (thisurlplus..something] then it = would also pass. The challenge is that it is quite easy to catch a variable value like = the 'query=3D72837' but I have a hard time catching just an = initial/default page lige /forum/ with no attached variables. I hope I was a bit more clear - even though I feel a but confused and = tired my self. /Palle On 07/02/2012, at 21.33, Govinda wrote: >>=20 >>=20 >> Hi all, >>=20 >> Seeking some good advise on what might just be a very simple case... >>=20 >> If need to make a [showif] on a specific URL, which needs to be >> 'http://www.macnyt.dk/forum/' nothing more nothing less. >>=20 >> My experience is that if I make an '[showif >> = [something]=3Dhttp://www.macnyt.dk/forum/?some=3Dadditional_variable&and=3D= another >> ]' then is passes as well. >>=20 >> In '[showif]' we have EQUAL, NOT EQUAL, CONTAINS, BEGINS WITH, LESS = THAN, >> GREATER THAN, DIVISIBLE BY - but none of the seems to do the trick. >>=20 >> Good ideas and inspiration is appreciated. >=20 > Hi Palle >=20 > I am confused what is actually proving difficult for you.
