IfEntryRecommended

Warning: This tag is not recommended as the implementation requires inline javascript which dramatically slows down the rendering of the html page in a browser. This tag is not currently used in any of the default template sets shipped with Movable Type.

Returns true if the entry has a score of more than zero in the community_pack_recommend namespace as defined in the Community Pack, false otherwise.

This mtml tag renders a block of javascript and two divs for true and false, respectively.

This is a custom tag in the Community Pack.

Examples

When used in the context of an entry or page:

This entry has
<mt:IfEntryRecommended>
    been recommended.
<mt:Else>
    not been recommended.
</mt:IfEntryRecommended>

The following javascript and html will be output:

This entry has
<script type="text/javascript">

Warning: The following javascript needs to be added (in one of the included javascript files or in the html head) for the mt:IfEntryRecommended to work:

function getByID(n, d) {
    if (!d) d = document;
    if (d.getElementById)
        return d.getElementById(n);
    else if (d.all)
        return d.all[n];
}
