i'm having trouble Graphic If/else and Switch Rules

[MBee]

I'm trying to set a default off a yes/no, which when selected would allow all frames on all pages in a document to be changed to selected color. Right now I either get the default overriding all selections or problems between graphic/text resources.

 

Idea is basically:

 

if the "BorderSame" is yes and "BorderColor" is equal to something

then all frames in document become selected color (Frame_SwitchRULE) //Switch Rule generated off BorderColor Field

else

if the "BorderSame" is no

then PageOneFrameColor is color selected (PageOneSpecific_SwitchRULE)

//Switch Rule generated off PageSpecific Field

 

 

So to recap:

If I use the text rule choice, graphics are not generated

If I use the graphic rule with rules in it, it says I can't generate text rule (but it's a graphic switch rule I've been using.

 

Rule below ignores entered colors and generates only default resource.

if (Field("BorderSame") == "No, different colors")

{

if (Field("BorderColors") != "")

return Rule("Frame_switchRULE");

else

return Resource("Black");

}

else

{

if (Field("BorderColors") == "")

return Rule("PageOneFrameColor_switchRULE");

else

return Resource("Black");

}

Looks like your nested if statements are not getting read correctly. Try this.

 

if (Field("BorderSame") == "No, different colors") {  
   if (Field("BorderColors") != ""){
       return Rule("Frame_switchRULE");
   }
   else { [color=DarkRed]//assumes Field("BorderColors") == ""[/color]
       return Resource("Black");
   }
}
else { [color=DarkRed]//assumes Field("BorderSame") != "No, different colors"[/color]
   if (Field("BorderColors") == "") {
       return Rule("PageOneFrameColor_switchRULE");
   }
   else {
       return Resource("Black");
   }
}
return Resource("Black"); [color=DarkRed]//or return NullResource();[/color]
