Using the (:if:) Directive
The (:if:) directive allows portions of a page to be included or
excluded from processing. The generic form of the (:if:) directive is
(:if cond param:) body (:ifend:)
where "cond" names a condition to be tested (described below), and "param"
is a parameter or other argument to the condition.
The built-in conditions include:
|
| (:if name PAGENAME:)
| -
| current page is named "PAGENAME"
|
(:if group GROUPNAME:)
| -
| current group is named "GROUPNAME"
|
(:if auth LEVEL PAGENAME:)
| -
| viewer is authorized at "LEVEL" where LEVEL can be: read, edit, upload, attr or admin; PAGENAME is optional.
|
(:if authid:)
| -
| current viewer is authenticated
|
(:if true:)
| -
| always include text
|
(:if false:)
| -
| always exclude text (same as a comment)
|
(:if attachments:)
| -
| current page has attachments
|
(:if date DATE:)
| -
| true if current date is DATE
|
(:if date DATE..:)
| -
| true if current date is DATE or later (unlimited)
|
(:if date DATE1..DATE2:)
| -
| true if current date is in range DATE1 to DATE2 (inclusive)
|
|
dates are in the format yyyy-mm-dd or yyyymmdd
|
(:if enabled VAR:)
| -
| true if PHP VAR is true
|
(:if enabled AuthPw:)
| -
| true if user has entered any password during the current browser session.
|
(:if equal STRING1 STRING2:)
| -
| true if STRING1 equals STRING2
|
(:if match REG_EXPRESSION:)
| -
| true if current page name matches the regular expression
|
(:if exists PAGENAME:)
| -
| true if the page pagename exists
|
Negated forms of conditions also work:
|
| (:if !attachments:)
| -
| this page has no attachments
|
|
|
(:if ! name PAGENAME:)
|
| current page is NOT named "PAGENAME"
|
(:if name -PAGENAME :)
|
|
(:if name !PAGENAME :)
|
Any (:if:) automatically terminates the previous one, thus markup can be
easily cased (and are not nested):
(:if enabled AuthPw:)* You're logged in
(:if auth read:)* You can read
(:if auth edit:)* You can edit
(:if auth upload:)* You can upload
(:ifend:)
Using wildcard placeholders
The character * can be used as a wildcard to represent any character,
zero, one or multiple times.
The character ? can be used as a wildcard to represent any character
exactly one time.
Wildcard characters (* and ?) can be used in conditional markup,
thus:
|
| (:if name PmCal.2005* :)
| -
| current page is in group PmCal and begins with 2005
|
(:if group PmWiki* :)
| -
| current page is in group PmWiki or a group beginning with Pmwiki
|
(:if name Profiles.*,-Profiles.Profiles :)
| -
| current page is in group Profiles but not Profiles.Profiles
|
Combining conditions
Conditions (as previously defined) may be combined into more complex
conditional expressions using one of these three equivalent forms:
(:if expr EXPRESSION :)
(:if [ EXPRESSION ] :)
(:if ( EXPRESSION ) :)
Conditions are combined into expressions with boolean operators and
brackets. In the next table, A and B are either regular conditions or
bracketed sub-expressions of regular conditions:
| Expression | Operator | Result |
|---|
A and B | And | TRUE if both A and B are TRUE. |
A or B | Or | TRUE if either A or B is TRUE. |
A xor B | Xor | TRUE if either A or B is TRUE, but not both. |
! A | Not | TRUE if A is not TRUE. |
A && B | And | TRUE if both A and B are TRUE. |
A || B | Or | TRUE if either A or B is TRUE. |
Nota:
- Spaces around operators and brackets are required.
- No specific feedback is given for syntaxic errors or unbalanced brackets.
Thus, writing:
(:if expr auth admin || auth attr || auth edit :)
[[Logout -> {$Name}?action=logout]]
(:if:)
provides you a logout link only when authentified with rights higher than 'read'.
