If… then or replace statements

Hey @alexpty,

all i need is when {Categories} is “Commercial”, change it to “Business”.

You can use a PHP function on the {Categories} element to do that: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/export/pass-data-through-php-functions/.

For example, if the only category with “Commercial” in it is the “Commercial” category, this should work:

<type>[str_replace("Commercial","Business",{Categories})]</type>

Thank you, it’s so simple and works! Could to point me to If/Then statement documentation, or maybe show an example. I have another conditional replacement to make:

<Type>{Type}</Type>
?<prices>?
?<price? ?tenure?=?”sale”? ?currency?=?”THB”?>?{property_price}</price>?
?<price? ?tenure?=?”rent”? ?currency?=?”THB”? ?period?=?”monthly”?>{property_price}?</price>?
?</prices>?

Since i have only one {property_price}, i need to fill <price> variable depending on {Type}, which is Sale or Rent

cannot figure this one:

if {Type} = Rent
?<price? ?tenure?=?”rent”? ?currency?=?”THB”? ?period?=?”monthly”?>{property_price}?</price>
otherwise
?<price? ?tenure?=?”sale”? ?currency?=?”THB”?>?{property_price}</price>

Thank you

Hey @alexpty,

Could to point me to If/Then statement documentation

You can read about if/else statements here: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/advanced/if-statements/ (the same syntax is used in custom XML exports).

For this case, I’d suggest outputting the XML with a PHP function. Here’s an untested example function that you can modify as needed:

function my_output_price( $type, $price ) {
	$xml = '';
	if ( $type == "Rent" ) {
		$xml = '**LT**price tenure="rent" currency="THB" period="monthly"**GT**' . $price . '**LT**/price**GT**';
	} else {
		$xml = '**LT**price tenure="sale" currency="THB"**GT**' . $price . '**LT**/price**GT**';
	}
	return $xml;
}

You’d use it in the XML template, where the “price” tag should be, like this:

[my_output_price({Type},?{property_price})]

Just be sure to turn off CDATA tags: https://d.pr/i/CsrTB9.
