Issues with global keywords on Paint Layout's conditional keywords

Hi all

 

Are global keywords known to cause issues when mixing with Conditional Keywords within a Paint Layout's default layout?

 

I wouldn't expect so, but as I'm having no luck with the conditional keywords below or attempting Barts suggestions here and here I'm running out of tools to blame  ;)  (5.1.6.3)

<!-- not working? -->
%begin_has_quicklinks%
  secondaryID = "assetID"
%else_has_quicklinks% 
  secondaryID != "assetID"
%end_has_quicklinks%

Are you using a paint layout to set the conditions? As in, are you using the conditional keywords screen for the paint layout's default format bodycopy? Or are you using the conditions screen of a standard page?

 

Also, where are you printing that content? Inside the paint layout's default format?

 

I just tested it and it works fine. Would be curious to know more details about your implementation.

Thanks for testing that Bart.

 

I'm using a paint layout to set the conditions and am printing the above inside the default format.

To verify that my metadata exists I used the below keyword which prints True.

%globals_asset_metadata_secondaryID^eq:assetID:True:False%

Hmm, that's weird. That's exactly how I tested it. What type of metadata field is it? A text field? 

 

Also, have you tried testing against just %asset_metadata_secondaryID% instead of globals to see if it makes a difference?

Cheers again, I originally had a related asset field then a text metadata field with no avail.

I had also previously tried sans-globals keywords too.

 

Not sure if it makes a difference, but the paint layout is being applied on the Design's Details screen of a Nest Content Design Area.

Ah, that's different to how I tested it. I set out a test like that though and couldn't replicate the issue. If you are a Squiz client, you might need to send in a support ticket for a Squiz implementer to review further.
