if TRUE
It’s worth installing just for the above - let alone all the other goodies contained.

Bloody marvellous.

Once you get used to using this and having all these variables available, you might wonder how you got along without it. Super handy, simple…a default install.

Awesome add-on.

Note on using get:* in conditionals (useful for query string stuff). Use {if get:var}{if:else}{/if} for !empty/empty. “{get:var}” == “” is like $_GET[‘var’] == “” instead of empty, “{get:var}” != “” is like !empty($_GET[‘var’]).
