I have a structure section, where the last child should be an anchor in the slug:

parent/parent#child

I'm trying to setup conditional url formats on nested entries as such:

{parent.uri}{% if object.getDescendants().total() != 0 %)/{% else %}#{% endif %}{slug}

I've also tried the simpler

{parent.uri}{% if object.hasDescendants %)/{% else %}#{% endif %}{slug}

but keep getting stuck tasks when re-saving entries. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance

  • What error is causing the tasks to get stuck? It'll be logged in craft/storage/runtime/logs.

  • there's a lot in the craft.log, something like this? [error] [application] Encountered an error running task 18 (ResaveElements), step 2 of 39: An exception was thrown while trying to save the Entry with the ID “19”: Unexpected ")" in "{{object.parent.uri|raw}}{% if object.getDescendants().total() != 0 %)/{% else %}#{% endif %}{{object.slug|raw}}" at line 1.

There was a typo hidden in there, otherwise the logic works. To get children as anchors in a structure, the following should do the trick:

{parent.uri}{% if object.getDescendants().total() != 0 %}/{% else %}#{% endif %}{slug}

  • There's also the slightly less verbose {parent.uri}{{ object.getDescendants().total() != 0 ? '/' : '#' }}{slug}
