Instead, showme is>hidden and hideme is displayed.Sorry, expr is now a reserved word in that context. http://betadoc.smithmicro.com/XMLSyntax.htmlThe reasoning is that we had to clean up all contexts and tags so that they all have named parameters. In order to make things more backward-compatible, we still support the old-style syntax, but if we see expr we assume you are using new-style named parameters. I was concerned that this might mess people up, but I thought the rate of people using expr literally in a ShowIf would be pretty low....OLD... ...NEW...[ShowIf 1!2] [ShowIf expr=1!2]
[date %Y] [date format=%Y] I see that the docs for [ShowIf] don't talk about this, so I'll see what I can do to clean that up.-- Grant Hulbert, Director of Engineering **********************************Smith Micro, Internet Solutions Div | eCommerce (WebCatalog)16855 West Bernardo Drive, #380 | -------------------------San Diego, CA 92127 | Software & Site DevelopmentMain Line: (858) 675-1106 | http://www.smithmicro.com Fax: (858) 675-0372 **********************************#############################################################This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to To switch to the INDEX mode, E-mail to Send administrative queries to
