Question

Consider the following in NameOfWeb.WebLinks

   * %ICON{home}% [[WebHome][Home]]
   * %ICON{changes}% [[WebChanges][Latest]]

Simple and easy. But it complicates matters when only authenticated users/groups can see a particular set of menus.

%IFDEFINED{ "Main.SomeGroup" glue="off" then="   * %ICON{wrench}% [[WebPreferences][Settings]]"}

It looks fine. But it parses out as

<img width=

I tried escaping then=\" \" it didn't work either. I tried using %INCLUDE% inside of then="" didn't work. I tried...

%IFDEFINEDTHEN { "Main.SomeGroup" glue="off" }%
   * %ICON{wrench}% [[WebPreferences][Settings]]
%FIDEFINED%

But that doesn't do anything, i.e. IFDEFINEDTHEN isn't parsed. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

FlexWebList isn't good for me. I've tried looking at how BlogPlugin does it, but I can't a way.

Just wanna know, if there is any other way to do this? Or should I just file a bug?

I would suggest to change all hardcoded HTML attributes to single quotes, shouldn't be any harm. But then I dunno what's it like in the codes.

I need suggestions to get this running.

The problem is that you are nesting two variables (IFDEFINED and ICON) and the nested ICON expands to a string with double quotes, which confuses the outer IFDEFINED variable. Instead of %ICON{wrench}%, write %ICONURL{wrench}%, which gives you just the URL. Make sure to have a leading and trailing space so that the image URL is inlined properly. Alternatively, put an ICONURLPATH into an img tag with single quotes.

Sweet, I've tried all the solutions in Bugs:Item3601.

The solution below (well, the spurious space) doesn't work, simply because it doesn't render <3spaces>* as a bullet point. No biggie though.

%IFDEFINEDTHEN{ "Main.SomeGroup" glue="off" }%
   * %ICON{wrench}% [[WebPreferences][Settings]]
%FIDEFINED%

%ICONURL%= and $percntICON{wrench}$percnt works perfectly.

Thanks...!
