hi,

simple question: how come this isn't working

 <?php if ((!$is_front) || (arg(0) != "travelbuddy")) echo '<div class="box">'; ?>

the div should NOT show if one of the conditions is true.

thanks!

kai

An OR statement is TRUE is if either statement is TRUE.
I am not sure what you are trying to happen.

as i said, what i'm trying to achieve is:

If we are NOT on the front page [OR] if we are not in the travelbuddy section, then the DIV should be shown.

Is there any other approach to do this? My above example doesn't work.

Cheers

Unless the front and travelbuddy sections are the same, every page you are on will not be one or the other. I think you mean:

if !($is_front || (arg(0) = "travelbuddy"))

I'm no PHP expert, but that seems to make more sense to me...

hey,

that seems like it makes sense to me too, but it ain't working ;-)

ANy other ideas? I can't believe it's so hard to connect those two conditions with an OR operator!? :o|

Should be == not =. I always forget PHP is picky about that.

Sorry, I don't use PHP on a regular basis and I was trying to give a quick answer... Try:

if (!($is_front || (arg(0) = "travelbuddy"))) { ...

If that's not quite right, look at the PHP website for the exact syntax. I'm trying to go off the top of my head with a toddler screaming at my feet.
