    If statments in templates

    Is it possible to have if statments in a template, so if the value of checkbox is checked do something? Can you do some kind of inline xslt?

    You can use inline xslt:

    but I dont know about using an if statement.

    You would probably just want to either create a macro (that uses XSLT) or use javascript.

    Hiya Vincent you could do the following:

    As templates are .NET masterpages you could drop in an asp:checkboxlist control directly onto the masterpage and create a codebehind file in Visual studio to do your code

    OR the best practise & common way is to have any dynamic functionality (such as forms etc) put into a ASP.NET usercontrol.

    To add a .NET usercontrol to your template you need to:

    • Add the usercontrol .ascx file in the /usercontrols folder
    • Copy the compiled code (.dll) to the /bin directory
    • Login to Umbraco and goto the Developer section
    • Right click on the macro folder and click create/new
    • Give your macro a meaningful name - eg contactform
    • On the macro use the dropdown next to .net usercontrol and browse to your .ascx file
    • Ammend the alias to suit your coding style (camelCase) or whatever
    • Hit Save
    • Goto your template/masterpage you wish to add the macro to in Umbraco
    • Then click the fourth icon from the left (has this as the icon ><)
    • Choose which macro you wish to insert into the template
    • Save the template & volia you have your .NET usercontrol running in your template

    I hope this helps you out.
    Warren :)
