Template Conditional - Shouldnt this work?

[Fargo]

heres everything this module uses...just in case im missing something important elsewhere...but I don't think I am..

module code:

PHP Code:

<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'sitenav'); // change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array(
);

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(
);

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
    'sitenav','sitenavdetail',
);

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(
);

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');

// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################

$getlinks = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM site_nav_main");

while($link = $DB_site->fetch_array($getlinks))
  {
    eval('$links .= "' . fetch_template('sitenavdetail') . '";');
  }
eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('sitenav') . '";');
unset($getlinks, $links, $link);
?>

template sitenav

<!-- Left Nav Block -->	
	<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
$links
</table>
<!-- End Left Nav Block -->

template sitenavdetail

<tr>
<td class="$link[itembgcode]" background="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header/content_bg_$link[itembgcode].gif">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/clear.gif" width="11" alt=" " border="0" /><span class="smallfont"><strong><if condition="$link['uselink']"><a href="$link[itemurl]"></if>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] $link[itemtext]</strong><if condition="$link['uselink']"></a></if></span>
</td>
</tr>

maybe that will help a bit. Its not much of a module..but I think its better than static HTML consitering the capabilities of vbadvanced.
