Compare Query string with a Macro

I am trying to compare a query string with a macro but I am not getting the expected results. The code is:


User is: {%user%}<br/>
Are they equal: {%if ({?user?} == "chanan") { "Yes" } else { "No" }%}<br />

The results are when going to the page with ?user=chanan and logged in as chanan are:

User is: chanan
Are they equal: No
Is Username equal to chanan: Yes
Are they equal with nested macros: No

while the expected results should be (I am unsure about the 4th line, I was trying it to see if it helps):
User is: chanan
Are they equal: Yes
Is Username equal to chanan: Yes

RE:Compare Query string with a Macro

Hi,

if you need to compare a string with a query parameter you can do it with following code:


User is: {%user%}<br/>
Are they equal: {%if (user == "administrator") { "Yes" } else { "No" }%}<br />
Is Username equal to administrator: {%if (UserName == "administrator") { "Yes" } else { "No" }%} <br/>
<br/>

Result:
User is: administrator
Are they equal: Yes
Is Username equal to administrator: Yes

Best regards,
Ivana Tomanickoava
