Need help with a not working code

[ohrenkino]

@Zerow

I would like to request evaluation of my code that I wrote for a column

$if(%ALBUM%, $if($strchr(%ALBUM%,|)'+ OK +','- DISCS'),'')

And here is what it is suppose to do: search for the sign >>|<< in ALBUM tag field and display >>+ OK +<< if it is there or display >>- DISCS<< if it is not there; and if the whole ALBUM tag field is simply empty, then display nothing

Right now I get the INVALID $IF SYNTAX error

You got examples for a working $IF syntax in one of your earlier posts from 2017, e.g.
/t/18676/1

why didn't you use that template?
