TemplateIF's not working Can't Post

I am trying to use the code below to alternately display one block of code or the other. However, it seems as if the templateIf's are being ignored completely. I use the placeholderlist command to make sure that the values from the checkboxes are the value I'm testing for and they are. Whenever I publish the page, both blocks of code execute even though one should not. Am I missing something simple that would account for this behavior?

Code
 <?php $counter = 0; ?> 
<!-- template insert : $articleList$ -->
<!-- templatecell : articleRow -->
<!-- templateIF : $article.membershipHeading$ eq "Yes" -->
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="membershipHeading" colspan="3">
<h2 class="greenNoSpace">$article.summary$</h2>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<!-- /templateIF -->
<!-- templateIF : $article.membershipHeading$ eq "No" -->
<td>$article.summary$</td>
<?PHP
$counter++;
if ($counter == 3) {
echo "</tr><tr>";
$counter = 0;
}
?>
<!-- /templateIF -->
<!-- /templatecell : articleRow -->

Hi,
Just to try and help you a bit - have you created a custom field in the database called membershipHeading and set it to a yes / no checkbox?

You then create an article and set the required yes / no for this field?

Not sure if this would make a difference but when I create IF statements I always do it this way;

<!-- templateIF : $article.membershipHeading$ eq "No" -->

to

<!-- templateIF : $article.membershipHeading$ ne "Yes" -->

Thank you for replying. I have done those things. I have created checkboxes and other fields and used templateif's many times before on other templates and installations. I don't know why it's not working this time. I'm starting to think that my installation may be corrupt. All of the code for the templateif's I used in this particular template is showing up in the html source instead of being processed.

Hi there.

Thanks for posting!

I am not quite sure just yet what's going on there so I was wondering if you could send me a support request so I can test a couple things out for you?

Here's a link:

I am sure it isn't going to be anything major so as soon as I have had a look, I should be able to narrow it down for you Smile.
