I’ve got a custom field named {resource_visibility}. Basically, when the client enters something into their resource bank, they can use a Field Pack Switch to set it for Members (default - value=“members”) or Public (value=“public).
My goal would be to use a Switchee statement to run a certain set of code based on members or public.
If I cal the custom field in the template, I get the correct value. However, my Switchee statement isn’t working.
{exp:switchee variable="{resource_visibility}" parse="inward"}
{case value="public"}
Public
{/case}
{case value="members" default="yes"}
Members
{/case}
{/exp:switchee}
This is inside a {exp:channel:entries channel=“resources” ....} tag.
Any thoughts? I just updated to 2.1.1 today.

In addition, I tried to use ifelse and it’s not working either…
{exp:ifelse parse="inward"}
{if resource_visibility == "public"}
<p>This is public</p>
{if:else}
<p>This is members</p>
{/exp:ifelse}

OK, last update - and I may have answered my own question….
I was using an {exp:ifelse parse=“inward”}{/exp:ifelse} statement earlier in the template too. Am I only able to use one in a template? When I took that one out, then my issue above worked as expected with a {exp:ifelse parse=“inward”} statement and a Switchee statement. So I’m guessing that is a limitation?
I’ve used Switchee many times - love it. But I don’t think I’ve run across this before (that I can think of)?

I’d guess your earlier {exp:ifelse} was throwing an error. That can happen if you’re trying to evaluate variables which are unparsed at the point it runs. Turn on debug=1 in your index.php file to view PHP errors. You can use {exp:ifelse} as many times as you need, in principle.

Thanks Mark. I believe I’ve got it figured out.
