Does that if statement require a "for/loop"?

Nope. Just use elseif to test other conditionals:


if ((pb.data('route').params.page_id == "PAGE_ID_1") && (pb.plugin.get('my_plugin').settings.video_url)) {
  // code to run if we're on PAGE_ID_1 AND we have a video_url filled out
}
elseif ((pb.data('route').params.page_id == "PAGE_ID_2") && (pb.plugin.get('my_plugin').settings.audio_url)) {
  // code to run if we're on PAGE_ID_2 AND we have an audio_url filled out
}
// more elseif's can be placed here for other combinations
else {
  // code to run if none of the above conditionals are met
}

Thank you Lynx

I really want those plugins separate from each other.
Can I use just:

if ((pb.data('route').params.page_id == "page") && (pb.plugin.get('new_video_caddy').settings.url)) {

for each plugin.
Now is there a way to pre direct it to that page?
without the forum search. 
Like saying .page_id=="featured" automatically placing it on that page.
I did experiment with your code but I'm not sure where to place it in the plugin code.
It hasn't worked at all yet.

Mike,

Yes, each plugin can use that line, but "page" must be different page ID's if they are going to affect different pages.
If you mean redirecting to a page by "pre direct to a page", no - not without a user action. Automatic redirects are a no-no. I'd suggest adding links to your navbar to take the user to a particular page.
If you follow the example above, then it'll get placed on that page if the conditional is true. In other words, we are on PAGE_ID_1 AND we have a video URL. If either, or both, of those are false, the AND returns false - so the video won't get placed on that page. If we were on PAGE_ID_2 (where we want the audio URL), then the conditional checking to see if we were on PAGE_ID_1 would return false - so the audio would not get placed on PAGE_ID_1, because we're on the wrong page.

I would need to see your entire code to know about placement. You can PM it to me if you don't want to post it.

- Sorry for the late reply - I don't log on every day.

Thanks for your help I managed to have both plugins work without a conflict
