Is it possible to do conditionals for embeds? For example,lets say I have this very simple template, test/foo
{if foo}
yes
{if:else}
no
{/if}
In other templates, I want to use this embed in a conditional.
{if '{embed="test/foo"}' == 'yes'} Output is yes {if:else} Output is no {/if}
Unfortunately, when I tried this approach, what I got was always a no, even if I set test/foo template to yes.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just not possible?
This way is not possible because of ExpressionEngine’s Parse Order
- Parse advanced conditionals
- Process embedded templates
With your code you don't have "yes" in conditionals when EE parses it, you have "{embed="test/foo"}"
You should be able to do what you're looking for with Stash, using stash:embed. With the Stash embed you should be able to manipulate the process and parse stage so that it will run before the advanced conditional (see Max's answer).
