Hey, 

I want to use a conditional within the searchv1 module in the element template.

I would like to use this conditional:

<!--@If(DwSearchResultSummary.Contains(value))-->

 

I've done some testing:

This conditionals works:

<!--@If(DwSearchResultSummary == DwSearchResultSummary)-->

These don't work:

<!--@If(1 == 1)-->

<!--@If(DwSearchResultSummary.Contains(value))-->

Is there a way to make it work. I'm on DW 8.4.

BR

Martin

Unless there's an tag extension method called Contains, your syntax is off. Contains looks like this:

TagName<contains>'Value to test'

Hi Imar, 

you are ever so right. 

The strange part however is, that my syntax is grabbed from DW docs - http://templates.dynamicweb.com/TemplateTags/Dynamicweb-template-tags/General-tags/Tag-extensions.aspx

Thank you very much Imar.

Ah, so there is an extension method called Contains. The docs say:

*.Contains(value) Returns True if tag value contains value.

so maybe you need to compae against 'True' or True?
