if no. of subcategories greater than X, do this
 

Hi,

What I'm trying to do is create an edit that tells x-cart to show 'content A' if there's less than 3 subcategories within a category and 'content B' if there are more than 3...

i realise it's an if statement of some-sort but can't seem to get the syntac right to make x-cart understand what I need it to do.

Any ideas greatly appreciated

Where is the content to be displayed?

it's to be used on subcategories.tpl

Re: if no. of subcategories greater than X, do this
 

{if $categories and $subcategories <= 3}
content
{else}
content
{/if}

will that work?

Off hand without looking at the code, I believe it would be:

Thanks Ashley but that didn't do it - Jon's version did though. Thank you both.

Can someone explain the difference please? thx :)

@count counts the items in the array first, whereas the other method is a bit of a mismatch as the array has named values.

I'm rubbish at explaining things ;D

A better understanding would be to print {$subcategories} and it will give you an array, NaN. Whereas, @count gives a number from counting the array to compare with.
