[/mbr_compare1] thru [/mbr_compare19]
Examples
- Example 1
- Example 2
- Example 3
- Example 4
Display the value stored in the ActiveCampaign contact field named first_name for the logged in user preceded by the word "Hello" if that field is not empty. Otherwise display "Hello Friend.":
[mbr_compare value1='[mbr_db_first_name]' cmp='NE' value2='']
Hello [mbr_db_first_name].
[ELSE_compare]
Hello Friend.
[/mbr_compare]
Display the value stored in the ActiveCampaign contact field named counter for the logged in user prefixing the string is between 1 and 10 inclusive i.e greater than 0 AND less than 11 if that field has a value greater than 0 and less than 10:
[mbr_compare value1='[mb_db_counter]' cmp='GT' value2='0']
[mbr_compare1 value1='[mb_db_counter]' cmp='LT' value2='11']
[mb_db_counter] is between 1 and 10 inclusive i.e greater than 0 AND less than 11
[/mbr_compare1]
[/mbr_compare]
Display It is currently after 8 o'clock. if the current time is after 8 o'clock otherwise display It is currently 8 o'clock or earlier..
Please note that in this example because the shortcode [mbr_date] must be evaluated prior to [mbr_compare] it uses the shortcode delimiters (| |) see ActiveMember360 Shortcodes, Evaluation Order:
[mbr_compare value1='(|mbr_date format="H"|)' cmp='GT' value2='08']
It is currently after 8 o'clock.
[ELSE_compare]
It is currently 8 o'clock or earlier.
[/mbr_compare]
Display the value passed for the parameter nickname to the custom shortcode where this mbr_compare shortcode is placed preceded by the word "Hello" if the parameter is not empty. Otherwise display "Hello Friend.":
[mbr_compare value1='%%nickname%%' cmp='NE' value2='']
Hello %%nickname%%.
[ELSE_compare]
Hello Friend.
[/mbr_compare]
