[Evergreen-general] One more receipt template question w/ a scoop of gratitude

[Garry Collum]

Ternary operators do work in print templates, so if the variables are available in the template, you could do something like this.

{staff.pref_family_name ? staff.pref_family_name : staff.family_name}


This will print staff.family_name if staff.pref_family_name is not available.

You could try using staff.pref_first_given_name and staff.pref_family_name but I haven't actually tested to confirm they are available to a receipt. If they aren't, then it would require a bit of development to flesh out that data.

If they ARE available, you could do IF conditions as such:

I can't remember off the top of my head if you can use ternary operators in print templates, but that would be more concise.

Hello all,



I come to you again asking for your knowledge.  Thank you to everyone who provided code snippets and links to code snippets for adding “You saved…” information to receipt templates.  Another request has come through that is a little more complex.  An EI member library is asking about any way to conditionally include, in a receipt template, a preferred staff (user) name if it exists in lieu of the “proper” staff name.
