IF cause template bug ?!

[Test71]

Hello,

this IF loop force a template bug in Smarty (blank page), please can you look to it and tell me what is wrong ?

<%if $slang EQ "de"%>
<a href="<%$site_url%>/" class="top_menu">Forum Startseite</a> |&nbsp;
<a href="<%$site_url%>/power_search.php" class="top_menu">Forum Suche</a> |&nbsp;
<a href="<%$site_url%>/suggest_category.php" class="top_menu">Kategorie vorschlagen</a>&nbsp;
<%else%>
<a href="<%$site_url%>/" class="top_menu">Forum Home</a> |&nbsp;
<a href="<%$site_url%>/power_search.php" class="top_menu">Forum Search</a> |&nbsp;
<a href="<%$site_url%>/suggest_category.php" class="top_menu">Suggest Category</a>&nbsp;
<%/if%>

Should be an easy IF EQ ?!

Regards
Frank

take off the gzip page compression in setup or application.php file and it will output an error - be easier to trouble shoot. looks fine to me as well, I always use

== instead of EQ, but other than that it looks just like a million others.

Hi,

where can I do that ?

By the way, I think smarty won't produce a message in case of template errors ?

it usually outputs an error message, if the page is blank its because of the gzip page compression./ best to turn it off when yoru troubleshooting - usually its not that useful, but at least it may give a few clues. laod application.php and change

$enable_page_compression = 1;

to

$enable_page_compression = 0;


see what happens...

hi again, looks like your trying to use the variable in the header? you would probably have to make the variable available for the header.

try your code in detail_link.html to see if it works their, if it does then this is probably the problem (although, no reason why it should cuase an error, this would just mean the If statment would always be false)
