How to write if condition in Macros?

[ch_naresh207]

Hi All,

I created two knowledge bases in my environment 1 is KEDB and 2nd is IKDB(incident knowledge database). each knowledge as a different field so thats why i created UI policys .. its ok for me in form level..

issue with

whenever i published KEDB articles ,,KEDB field is visible and   same time IKDB field is visible,,,,here we are using UI macros.. So, here how to create if condition in macros.

For example: If Knowledge base = KEDB selects visible only KEDb fields

{

                                          else knowledge base =IKDB visible only for IKDB fields

}

Please find the below script how to write IF Else condition ?

The general syntax of the if statement is like this:

<j:if test="condition" >

        <!-- this code gets run -->

</j:if>

In your case, the condition is going to be something like:

<j:if test="${kb_knowledge.kb_knowledge_base.getDisplayValue() == 'KEDB'">

<!-- Show the three fields -->

</j:if>

<j:if test="${kb_knowledge.kb_knowledge_base.getDisplayValue() == 'IKDB'">

<!-- Show the other three fields -->

</j:if>

THIS IS UNTESTED CODE. YOU NEED TO TEST AND ADJUST AS NECESSARY FOR YOUR CONDITIONS.
