Loading a snippet, depending on the value of a data field

To load a snippet depending on the value of a data field, you have to add a condition to the

script.

Example

The following script evaluates if the value of the LANGUAGE field in the record is ‘En’. If so, the

snippet is added to the content.

if (record.fields.LANGUAGE == ‘En’) {

results.loadhtml(‘snippets/nameofthesnippet.html’);

}

Another example is given in a how-to; see Load a snippet based on a data field value.

Loading part of a snippet, based on the value of a data field

When a snippet contains a part that can be identified by a selector, that selector can be used to

load that part of the snippet into a template. It is possible to do this, based on the value of the

data field. This is easiest when the selector matches the value of a data field.

Example

The following script reads the value of the LANGUAGE field in the record and uses that value

as the selector in the function loadhtml(). If the snippet contains an HTML element with this ID

(for example, <p ID=”En”>), that HTML element will be added to the content:

var language = record.fields.LANGUAGE;

results.loadhtml(‘snippets/nameofthesnippet.html’, ‘#’+ language)
