I have a list of 4 things options. Up to 2 can be selected and will output different icons. Using the P&T Multiselect, I followed the docs to say:
{if {my-field:selected option="red"}}Red{/if}
{if {my-field:selected option="yellow"}}Yellow{/if}
..and so on.
However, the template throws the error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /.../www/www/adm/expressionengine/libraries/Functions.php(656) : eval()'d code on line 282
Any ideas on why?

Update: I'm using a single template to drive three separate pages using if-statements. e.g. landing page, listing page, and detail page. This is meant for the detail page. The above is ONLY causing the error on the landing page, the first overall if-statement.Comment

Hi Chris,
Reason for this is that EE will simply remove tags for fields that don’t have any data, so by the time that your conditional is parsed, it looks like:
{if }
which is causing the parse error.
To prevent the error, simply wrap your P&T Multiselect tags in quotes:
{if "{my-field:selected option="red"}"}Red{/if}
{if "{my-field:selected option="yellow"}"}Yellow{/if}
That way, if the tag is removed, there’s still something in there – an empty string:
{if ""} -

I’m
excited
Just upgraded to EE2, converted all FF fields to P&T fields and and ran into this same problem.
You're solution worked perfectly, thanks! -
