Possible to reference TargetData within an If statement

Hey, I'm very new to Campaign. I'm trying to hide a panel if the data that comes through matches a previous panel or the next panel. Essentially like this

<% if (targetData.Recent2Name == 'targetData.Recent1Name ' || targetData.Recent2Name == ' targetData.Recent3Name ') { %>
       Don't show  panel

<% } else {%>

        Show panel

<%} %>

I know the above won't work but I was wondering if there's a way to sort this so the Recent1Name and Recent3Name are referenced correctly?

Thanks

Thanks for the response

I ended up creating the targetData as a var

So in the end the working (rough) code was

<% if (targetData.Recent1Name != '') { %>
  Show Panel 1
<%} %>

<% if (targetData.Recent2Name != '') { %>
<% var aHotel1 = targetData.Recent1Name;
  var aHotel2 = targetData.Recent2Name;
  var aHotel3 = targetData.Recent3Name; %>

<% if (aHotel2 == aHotel1 || aHotel2 == aHotel3) { %> 
    Hide Panel 2
<% } else {%>
    Show Panel 2
<%} %>
<%} %>

<% if (targetData.Recent3Name != '') { %>
<% var aHotel1 = targetData.Recent1Name;
  var aHotel2 = targetData.Recent2Name;
  var aHotel3 = targetData.Recent3Name; %>

<% if (aHotel3 == aHotel1 || aHotel3 == aHotel2) { %> 
    Hide Panel 3
<% } else {%>
    Show Panel 3
<%} %>
<%} %>

Hi @andyhu5,

 

Try with this following examples:

 

<% if (targetData.Recent2Name == targetData.Recent1Name || targetData.Recent2Name == targetData.Recent3Name) { %>
<!-- Code to hide panel -->
<% } else { %>
<!-- Code to show panel -->
<% } %>

-1.Variable referencing: Single quotes are used for string literals , not for referencing variables.

- 2. Use comments  or script-based comments to indicate the sections for hiding or showing the panel.

 

If you want to do it with a div:

<% if (targetData.Recent2Name == targetData.Recent1Name || targetData.Recent2Name == targetData.Recent3Name) { %>
<div style="display:none;">
<!-- Panel content goes here -->
</div>
<% } else { %>
<div>
<!-- Panel content goes here -->
</div>
<% } %>

 

Remember to ensure 'targetData.Recent1Name', 'targetData.Recent2Name', 'targetData.Recent3Name' are available and correctly populated in the context where you are using this script.

 

Hope this suits. 

 

Kind regards, 

Celia

      Thanks @andyhu5 for sharing another way of doing it.

       

      It totally, makes sense to create targetData as a var.
