{% if %}

October CMS Documentation Docs

{% if %}

The {% if %} and {% endif %} tags will represent an expression and is comparable with the if statements of PHP. In the simplest form you can use it to test if an expression evaluates to true:

___TWIG0___
    <p>The website is in maintenance mode.</p>
___TWIG1___

You can also test if an array is not empty:

___TWIG0___
    <ul>
        ___TWIG1___
            <li>___TWIG2___</li>
        ___TWIG3___
    </ul>
___TWIG4___

Note: If you want to test if the variable is defined, use {% if users is defined %} instead.

You can also use not to check for values that evaluate to false:

___TWIG0___
    <p>You are not subscribed to our mailing list.</p>
___TWIG1___

For multiple expressions {% elseif %} and {% else %} can be used:

___TWIG0___
    Kenny is sick.
___TWIG1___
    You killed Kenny! You bastard!!!
___TWIG2___
    Kenny looks okay so far.
___TWIG3___
