SID-01083: Combine IF Clause and META{PARENT}

Hi, I want to check whether the parent TOPIC equals a special topic. For example: If Parenttopic = "SpecialTopic" Then "Hello World!",

I tried it with the following Syntax without any success:

%IF{' %META{"parent" dontrecurse="on" format="$topic"}%="SpecialTopic" '} then="Hello World!"}%

The following works fine and results in "SpecialTopic":

%META{"parent" dontrecurse="on" format="$topic"}%

Can anybody help?

Thx in advance.

Not tested, but this should work. Make sure to compare a quoted string with a quoted string.

%IF{ "'%META{"parent" dontrecurse="on" format="$topic"}%'='SpecialTopic'" then="Hello World!" }%
