Compatibility Problems with switchee? (low_title)

albuvee 3 Dec 2012 09:41 problem, complete

If I use low_title:category with a template with multiple exp:switchee-Tags, the output uf exp:low_title:category is kind of strange, as it outputs the content of another switchee-tag or the full html-content of an exp:channel:entry-tag further down the page...

{exp:switchee variable='{segment_2}' parse='inward'}
{case value="#^P#|''"}{embed='_global/.breadcrumb'...}{/case}
{case value='biete'}
{switchee variable='{segment_3}' parse='inward'}
{case value="#^P#|''"}{embed='_global/.breadcrumb'...}{/case}
{case value='cat'}{embed='_global/.breadcrumb' ... last='{exp:low_title:category url_title="{segment_4}"}'}{/case}
{/switchee}
{/case}
{case value='suche'}...{/case}
{case value='cat'}{embed='_global/.breadcrumb' ... last='{exp:low_title:category url_title="{segment_3}"}'}{/case}
{/exp:switchee}

as you can see, I'm using switchee to embed different versions of a breadcrumb-template. In the case «segment_2 == 'biete' AND segment_3 == 'cat'» low_title:category WORKS perfectly ... but in the 'simpler' case «segment_2 == 'cat'» low_title:category shows strange html-content from further down the page instead of name the category, url-titled in segment_3 ... actually it's not 'strange html-content', but it's the content of the next upcoming switchee-tag further down the page

Is there a known bug? Or do I make an error in my code? Or is it a compatibility-problem?

Additional Info: Before I used switchee for this conditionals, I used the ee-native if/else-conditionals — there everything worked fine with low_title. I had to switch to «switchee» because with native ee-conditionals I could not work around the Pagination-Cases (#^P#-Regex in switchee).

   There is no reason why Low Title shouldn't be compatible with Switchee -- It's just another plugin like any other.
   
   I suggest you take a closer look at your Switchee code, perhaps simplifying it a bit.

   thx for this info, low.
   I will have another look at my switchee-code.

   albuvee 3 Dec 2012 10:12

   btw: it does also not work in a much simpler switchee-code like:
   
   {exp:switchee variable='{segment_2}'}
   {case value="#^P#|''"}{embed='_global/.breadcrumb' last='News'}{/case}
   {case value='cat'}{embed='_global/.breadcrumb' ... last='{exp:low_title:category url_title="{segment_3}"}'}{/case}
   {/exp:switchee}
   
   In this case I will also see the content of the next switchee-tag further down the page instead of the category-title.
   
   For testing-reasons: If I remove the next switchee-tag from further down the page, low_title shows me the rendered image from exp:imgsizer:size instead of the category-title.
   If I also remove this addon-code (imgsizer), it shows me the number «168» (I don't know what this number represents — it's not the category-id, not the count of entries or pages shown ... don't know what it is).

   Enable the template debugger and look up what tags are actually being processed. What does that tell you?

   I'm not that experienced with the debugger, but I can find this:

   If you add debug="yes" to Switchee you will be able to see some more info in the debugger output about what is being matched.

   For me it looks like switchee does his work here — if I replace the low_title-tag with something static like the word «Category», everything works (but of course without the correct category-name ;-) )
   
   debugger does not help (ME) finding the bug.
   
   here an example how it actually looks: http://cl.ly/image/3t063k100z2c
   
   and how it does, if I use ee-native conditionals (again: I need the RegEx for the Pagination-URLs, therefore (and for performance-reasons) I'm using switchee): http://cl.ly/image/1f1I053r1x00

   I think this is likely to be a parsing bug. Please make sure to use double quotes for your case values:
   
   {case value="my-value"}
   
   Then, please try putting those {case} tag pair on their own lines:
   
   {case value="cat"}
   {embed='_global/.breadcrumb' ... last='{exp:low_title:category url_title="{segment_3}"}'}
   {/case}
   
   If that doesn't work, try swapping the quotes around parameters:
   
   {case value="cat"}
   {embed="_global/.breadcrumb' ... last="{exp:low_title:category url_title='{segment_3}'}"}
   {/case}

   HAH! THAT'S IT! ... :-) ... the quotes! ... using double-quotes outside and single-quotes inside «does the trick» :-) ... thx you both!

   Thanks for chiming in, Mark. :)
