Hey, I'm really new at this CDML thing. Is that a good reference somewhere on the web where I can learn the basics? Any sample pages? Thanks.

Give me your email address and I will send you the CDML Reference file.

It's [email protected]

Thanks

Okay, so I have Developer and I'm using this new CDML tool, but where are some solid examples of the multiple-condition "IF" tag, which was half the dumb reason I upgraded?

Forget the CDML Tool, it's the *CDML Reference* that everybody has been screaming for. It lists all of the the FMP5 CDML tags and gives descriptions, syntax and a few basic examples. It is NOT a tutorial, it's a hard-core industrial-strength reference.

I posted a FAQ to the FAQs forum about the CDML Reference yesterday, along with the simple instructions for getting a print out of all the CDML codes. I find the printed list much more useful than the electronic copy.

To answer your question about [FMP-If], the CDML reference lists all of the operators and comparisons that can be used. There are many, many things like "CanDelete" "CanEdit" and "CanNew" that appear to be new from FMP4. Look [FMP-If] up in the CDML Reference.

I understand using the CDML reference. However, it still never lists the syntax for multiple IF statements except in the print copy of the Developer manual, where it says:

[FMP-If:.and.]

Has anyone used this new tag? What's your syntax?

Bevin

Yes, it wirks as such

[fmp-if: (currenttoken:1.eq.yes).or.(currentoken:2.eq.yes)]Hi you have said yes[fmp-elseif: (field: hello.eq.bogoff).and.(currenttoken:3.eq.nastygit)]Get off my web site[/fmp-if]

Hope that helps a little.

As you can tell I've had a few muppets phone me today about using y new website, and I feel all web surfers should go kill themselves.

In the FMP5 CDML Reference, look up the CDML tag [FMP-ElseIf] it is listed separately from [FMP-If].
