if/else Statement Tweaking for X-Cart

common if/else or if/then statements for x-cart

Quick collections of X-Cart if/else or “if/then” statements maybe useful in the future as reference.

there is no if/then in x-cart 😉

Very simple ideas:

What if I want something like this:
if cat=1 [html1]
if cat=2 [html2]
else [html3]

{if $cat == 1}

-- do this --

{elseif $cat == 2}

-- do this --

{else}

-- if neither is true do this --

{/if}

Targeting a whole Sub-Category with one if statement

Home Page

{if $main eq “catalog” AND $current_category.categoryid ne “”}

I am on the home page.
{/if}

Also for home page:

if / else code to show one block of content on home page

 (skin1/customer/home.tpl), after line ““:

{if $main eq "catalog" and $cat eq ""}
- main page, home.php
{else}
- not main page, home.php
{/if}
