Subject: [Koha-devel] TT notice question

Hi All - not specifically Koha I guess, but maybe someone can explain why this happens. I had some TT in an email notice like:

[% IF illrequests.branchcode ==  "CL" %]
College Lane LRC
[% ELSIF illrequests.branchcode == "DH" %]
De Havilland LRC
[% ELSE %]
<<illrequests.branchcode>>
[% END %]

Every time I generated the email it printed CL, which is the value of llrequests.branchcode. I just could not get the first condition to work no matter what I did - it never printed College Lane LRC always CL. However, I changed it to:

[% SET localbranch = illrequests.branchcode %]

[% IF illrequests.branchcode ==  localbranch %]
College Lane LRC
[% ELSIF illrequests.branchcode == localbranch %]
De Havilland LRC
[% ELSE %]
<<illrequests.branchcode>>
[% END %]

, and this works if I set the illrequests.branchcode to a local variable and then check this.

Not sure why I have to do this? The example I have seen on the wiki look like I should be able to test a variable against a string using ==. Just couldn't get it to work. Any ideas?
