template condition problem

[mcdull]

I want to modify the postbit to show some content based on the user custom field's content.
Here is my code.

<if condition="$post['field2'] == XXXX">
<div class="smallfont">Message1</div>
<else />
<if condition="$post['field2'] == YYYY">
<div class="smallfont">Message2</div>
<else />
Message3
</if>
</if>

but it only shows Message3 in all conditions. Can anyone help me?
FYI, I can show the content of $post[field2] by using <p>$post[field2]</p>

Thanks.

<if condition="$post[field2] == 'XXXX'">
<div class="smallfont">Message1</div>
<else />
<if condition="$post[field2] == 'YYYY'">
<div class="smallfont">Message2</div>
<else />
Message3
</if>
</if>

Note that I removed the ' from around the field2 and instead placed it around the XXXX and YYYY

It depends if the XXXX and YYYY are numbers, but you can enclose them in quotes either way.

In conditions, array keys should ALWAYS be quoted if they are strings.

Read a little bit of this thread, it is a prime example of why...
