this:

{if $profile_quota_id = '44' }

is setting the value of $profile_quota_id to 44.

This:

{if $profile_quota_id == '44'}

is checking if the value of profile_quota_id is 44

Hi Michael,
thanks for your suggestion sorry, I may was not clear, in my frustration tried everything

why is the or Statement not working

{if $profile_quota_id == '44' || $profile_quota_id == '6' }

tried smarty version

{if $profile_quota_id eq '44' or $profile_quota_id eq '6' }

just tried all sorts of things

I don't know what $profile_quota_id is in that template location, but I guess that its not '44'.

What I would do is add:

THE VALUE OF $profile_quota_id IS: {$profile_quota_id}

to the template to see what the value of it is.

The other way to see what it is is to add a {debug}.

Docs: "{debug}"

thanks for the tip

without the or statment 44 works and shows the correct info when I try to include an or statment to display for another id it does not work anymore

if I do if .... 44

else

if 6

endif

this works

just the or is a mystery

This works as expected for me -

{$x = 3}
{if $x == '3' || $x == '6'}
    {$x}
    <br>
{/if}
{$x = 6}
{if $x == 3 || $x == 6}
    {$x}
    <br>
{/if}
{$x = 9}
{if $x == 3 || $x == 6}
    {$x}
    <br>
{/if}

Even when adding the inverted commas around the numbers (which are not needed for numeric values btw).
I can only think that something before or after this code in your template is causing it to fail.
Anything in the error logs?

I'm convinced SW is black magic, I changed to chrome from Firefox to edit the template file

it works same code
