Trying to get "if you are not <email address>, click here" to remove preloading

Hi,

There are 3 ways of doing it:

• Try setting the visibility on the @id field rather than on the @email field. As the ID is not used in the form, that should prevent the conditional content from displaying when not wanted.

• Another approach is by making the test not in the page but in a Test activity, and then use 2 different pages, one if the test on the email is true, with the additional content always displayed. And a second page for when the test is false, not containing the additional content. Like this:

• A last approach would be to declare a variable in the web application properties and to perform the test here again from a Test activity, and another test in the page:
  1. Declare a variable in the web application properties with a default value of 0. For example preloading:
  2. Define a Test activity to test whether the email is empty. 
  3. On the "False" branch of the test, add a Script activity to change the value of the preloading variable: 
  4. Set visibility of your additional content by testing the preloading variable value.

Let me know how it goes or if you have additional questions.

Hope this helps,

Florent

Hello Florent,

Thank you so much for your reply and suggestions!

Here's what I tried:

Option 1 does not seem available to me, as the id is not available to me when I make the visibility condition:

Option 2 is kind of what we are doing now...ideally want to move away from have 2 separate webApps, because of the authoring and data management bandwidth...2 webapps makes my authors unhappy.

Option 3 seems the best...but when I attempt to preload, I get the error (from the debug mode in the webapp) below....I tried various combinations of enclosing the default value with and without quotes, etc....

Any more ideas?

Also, what version of Campaign are you using? Looks more modern than 6.11  :-)

Hello,

Ok let's focus on #1 and #3 then.

• About #1. Yes, I forgot to mention but there is a little trick there. To use @id you need to enter it directly as it won't be visible. This is the easiest way I see. 

• About #3. "ct is not defined": are you sure there is no typo such as "ct" instead of "ctx" in the script? Also, variable value should be surrounded by quotes only in the script activity, and not in the properties nor the visibility condition.

Let me know how it goes.

Edit: This is not entirely 6.1.1 indeed but web applications are the same here. Consider it an exclusive preview :) Stay tuned!

Florent.

Hello Florent,

Thank you again for your kind response...but alas, still is not working as expected.

For option 1:
http://m.communications.waters.com/webApp/testingPreloadNewUsingID?id=@ORHlQ/cqCcejRNfGGnTEUQ

I've manually referenced the recipient ID exactly as showing in your example...here's what is in mine:

It does not work...if you refresh the view...you can see the link display sometimes...but then it disappears.

For option 3, I created a new webapp just to make sure everything was fresh:
http://m.communications.waters.com/webApp/testingPreloadNewUsingScript?id=@EsybBL7FNMk6/zdWNJF3tQ

I no longer get the error, but it still does not work.

Here's the variable definition:

Here's the check if email exists activity:

Here's the script to set the preloading variable to '1' if email exists

And finally the testing on whether to show the div with the link:

For reference, here's the preloading activity at the start of the webApp workflow...is there something I need to change here?

Thank you again for your help!!

Regards,

Eugene
