[SOLVED] CB If / and / Includes Statement Help

[SOLVED] CB If / and / Includes Statement Help was created by marriage_minded_man
I looked at the substitution tutorial and still having difficulty with this.

My users fill in a field (named cb_websiteurl) with the URL of their website. I use a delimiter field to display an Ifram of their site only if they have that field filled in.

Some of them put the "http" and some of them want to punish me for sins of a past life and do not put the "http".

I would like to put an if statement that says the following:

[cb:if cb_websiteurl!="" and includes "http://"]<iframe name="websiteurl" height="500" width="962" scrolling="auto" src="[cb_websiteurl]">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>[/cb:if]

and alternatively

[cb:if cb_websiteurl!="" and !includes "http://"]<iframe name="websiteurl" height="500" width="962" scrolling="auto" src="http://[cb_websiteurl]">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>[/cb:if]

Am I making sense? However the if statements I put together arent working for me. I also tried using [cb:if cb_websiteurl="http://*"] as if to use the * as a wildcard, but that didn't work either.

What am I doing wrong?

Please see Tutorials within my signature for further substitution usage information as a substitution tutorial is already provided; your syntax is completely off. Tutorial explains how to use the substitutions as well as multiple examples at the bottom of the tutorial.

As for the includes there is a known bug resulting in them not working correctly (note your syntax for their usage is still incorrect). Please see below bug ticket regarding this.

I'm sorry Krileon. I've read the turorial and still cant get includes to work. It only seems to work if the value is exact, the same as = (equal to).

With cb_websiteurl filled in with
http://www.website.com/
, I test the following:
[cb:if cb_websiteurl="http://www.website.com/"]Displays fine[/cb:if]

[cb:if cb_websiteurl includes "http://www.website.com/"]Displays fine[/cb:if]

[cb:if cb_websiteurl includes "http"]Does not display.[/cb:if]

By the way, I have also applied the patch you mentioned but in my file it was on line 1644 not 1654.

It does not work on website fields. It only works on fields that'd have an array, which is dropdown multiselect, multicheckbox, gids, etc..

By the way, I have also applied the patch you mentioned but in my file it was on line 1644 not 1654.

That's fine as I'm on SVN (developer build of CB) so lines may not match 100%.

Then how can i put together an IF statement that says if a text field includes "http" then display? Is there no way to ask if there is a specific string of text within a text input website field?

You'll need to use REGEX. Example as follows.

[cb:if cb_websiteurl=~"/^http/i"]Begins with HTTP[/cb:if]
