i have a html.ftl page where i can see several #if condition, here is an example:


<#if c.isDocument && !c.parent.isDocument && c.properties["present"]??>

<#if !(c.properties["cm:creator"] != person.properties["cm:userName"] &&
c.properties["present1Type"]?? && c.properties["present1Type"]) + "Type"] == "ok")>

Does someone knows what the ?? means in the code? And which code-language is this?

tnx

what page did you get it from? Looks a bit like javascript. What does the code do can you put more in or a link to where it's being used?

it's used for a DMS.

The code is used so we can generate a dashboard for the DMS.

so you have something like that:



<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
...
some javascript functions
...
</head>
<body>
...
<#if c.isDocument && !c.parent.isDocument && c.properties["present"]??>
<div>some HTML code</div>
</#if>
...
<#if !(c.properties["cm:creator"] != person.properties["cm:userName"] &&
c.properties["present1Type"]?? && c.properties["present1Type"]) + "Type"] == "ok")>
<div>some HTML code</div>
</#if>
...
</body>
</html>


I understand the conditions and the vars they use, but i don't know why they use ?? in the #if...

ok, i have the answer for ??

apparently it's just to see if the var exist...

and the code is freemarker (http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/)

Hello, I think I now what it is...
You're editing Alfresco's ftl codes, right?
This code is in ftl language and I think that the expression

<#if c.properties["present"]??> represents that if the property "present" stores any value the code inside this condition will be executed.
