disable quickview for specific categories

[Strat1979]

I have 2 categories that I do not want to use the quickview. They are 1) ELECTRIC GUITARS & 2)ACOUSTIC GUITARS.
If I use this code for each category individually on the CTGY page, it works.

FOR ELECTRIC GUITARS:
<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_Code( g.Category_Code, l.settings:current_category )" />
<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_ID( l.settings:current_category:parent_id, l.settings:parent_category )" />

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:parent_category:name NE 'Electric Guitars'">
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:seo_settings:sl_active">
<span class="button button-square bg-yellow white uppercase quick-view" data-product-link="&mvte:product:link;?show=quickview"><font size="-1">Quick View</font></span>
<mvt:else>
<span class="button button-square bg-yellow white uppercase quick-view" data-product-link="&mvte:product:link;?show=quickview"><font size="-1">Quick View</font></span>

</mvt:if>
</mvt:if>

FOR ACOUSTIC GUITARS:
<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_Code( g.Category_Code, l.settings:current_category )" />
<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_ID( l.settings:current_category:parent_id, l.settings:parent_category )" />

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:parent_category:name NE 'Acoustic Guitars'">
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:seo_settings:sl_active">
<span class="button button-square bg-yellow white uppercase quick-view" data-product-link="&mvte:product:link;?show=quickview"><font size="-1">Quick View</font></span>
<mvt:else>
<span class="button button-square bg-yellow white uppercase quick-view" data-product-link="&mvte:product:link;?show=quickview"><font size="-1">Quick View</font></span>

</mvt:if>
</mvt:if>

However, if I want to make one statement this does not work:

FOR ELECTRIC GUITARS & ACOUSTIC GUITARS:
<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_Code( g.Category_Code, l.settings:current_category )" />
<mvt:do name="l.result" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_ID( l.settings:current_category:parent_id, l.settings:parent_category )" />

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:parent_category:name NE 'Electric Guitars' OR l.settings:parent_category:name NE 'Acoustic Guitars'">
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:seo_settings:sl_active">
<span class="button button-square bg-yellow white uppercase quick-view" data-product-link="&mvte:product:link;?show=quickview"><font size="-1">Quick View</font></span>
<mvt:else>
<span class="button button-square bg-yellow white uppercase quick-view" data-product-link="&mvte:product:link;?show=quickview"><font size="-1">Quick View</font></span>

</mvt:if>
</mvt:if>

BTW I know this happens twice on the CTGY page.

So, is there a way to make this work with one statement?

Looking at the code, I don't see anything that should prevent it from working. Any reason you are checking the category name and not the code? If this code is to check for those two specific categories, why are you checking the parent category and not the current category?

[Strat1979]

Thanks Matt.

Taking your advice, I used the category code:
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:parent_category:code NE 'CORTACOUSTIC' OR l.settings:parent_category:code NE 'CORTELECTRIC'">

However, no luck when using the OR in the statement. Both work fine individually.
I am using the parent because both of the categories belong to a parent category as well as others that I also want to include.

[Matt Zimmermann]

This might be a case where AND will work instead of OR. Alternately, you could try <mvt:if expr="NOT (l.settings:parent_category:code CIN 'CORTACOUSTIC,CORTELECTRIC'">

Also, that inside <mvt:if> seems unnecessary as they both resolve to the same page html code.

<mvt:if expr="NOT(l.settings:category:code EQ 'electric_guitars') OR NOT(l.settings:category:code EQ 'acoustic_guitars')">

<span class="button button-square bg-yellow white uppercase quick-view" data-product-link="&mvte:product:link;?show=quickview"><font size="-1">Quick View</font></span>

</mvt:if>

Should suffice (if you put in the correct actual category codes).

[Strat1979]

Thanks Matt & Bruce.

WORKED
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:parent_category:code NE 'CORTELECTRIC' AND l.settings:parent_category:code NE 'CORTACOUSTIC'">

DID NOT WORK
<mvt:if expr="NOT(l.settings:category:code EQ 'CORTELECTRIC') OR NOT(l.settings:category:code EQ 'CORTACOUSTIC')">

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

...should have mentioned I have no exact idea of the correct variable cause it depends on where that code chunk is running. :)

[Strat1979]

Actually in the above code, CORTELECTRIC & CORTACOUSTIC are the correct values. For some reason it doesn't work. Could be what Matt said about the OR not functioning on this for some reason.


BTW This also worked
<mvt:if expr="NOT (l.settings:parent_category:code CIN 'CORTACOUSTIC,CORTELECTRIC')">

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

hmmm...all three should have worked with the correct values.
