i4w_select

Usage

This shortcode returns a value from a list, based on a switch variable, similar to a “switch…case…” programming construct.

[ELSE_select] conditional branching is NOT supported.

Shortcode nesting is NOT supported.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default	Required
case	A list of values, separated by ’|’ (pipe). The first item in the list is the switch value to be compared against the remaining values.	None	Yes

Example

Shortcode

[i4w_select case='2|yes|no|maybe']

Returns ‘no’ (the 2nd value after the switch).

Shortcode

[i4w_select case='maybe|yes|no|maybe']

Returns ‘3’ (the ordinal position of the matching value).

Notes

Note

If a number (integer) is used as the switch variable, the n-th ordinal value will be returned, if there is one.

If a string (alphanumeric) is used as the switch variable, the ordinal number of the matching value is returned (if the third item matches, a 3 is returned).
