Condense code: else if's

This IS working but would like to condense it:

if (
$option == 'com_hotproperty'
and $view == 'types'
and $id == '1'
and $Itemid == '65'
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
) return;
else;
if (
$option == 'com_hotproperty'
and $view == 'types'
and $id == '2'
and $Itemid == '65'
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
) return;
else;
if (
$option == 'com_hotproperty'
and $view == 'types'
and $id == '3'
and $Itemid == '65'
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
) return;
else;
if (
$option == 'com_hotproperty'
and $view == 'types'
and $id == '4'
and $Itemid == '65'
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
) return;
else;
if (
$option == 'com_hotproperty'
and $view == 'types'
and $id == '5'
and $Itemid == '65'
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
) return;
else;
if (
$option == 'com_hotproperty'
and $view == 'types'
and $id == '6'
and $Itemid == '65'
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
) return;
else;
if (
$option == 'com_hotproperty'
and $view == 'types'
and $id == '7'
and $Itemid == '65'
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
) return;
else;
if (
$option == 'com_hotproperty'
and $view == 'types'
and $id == '8'
and $Itemid == '65'
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
) return;
else;
if (
$option == 'com_hotproperty'
and $view == 'types'
and $id == '9'
and $Itemid == '65'
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
) return;
else;
if (
$option == 'com_hotproperty'
and $view == 'types'
and $id == '10'
and $Itemid == '65'
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
) return;

else return 113;

I attempted and $id == "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10'
didn't work...

Thank you!

Re: Condense code: else if's

Ok, how about this version:

if (
  $option == 'com_hotproperty'
  and $view == 'types'
  and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
) {
  $exclusions = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10);
  if (in_array( $id, $exclusions )) return;
}
return 113;

Or, even simpler since you are using ids 1 to 10 consecutively:

if (
  $option == 'com_hotproperty'
  and $view == 'types'
  and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'properties'
  and $id >= 1 and $id <= 10
) return;
return 113;


I deliberately left out the Itemid check, as that is equivalent to checking for the menu item. If you assign the MetaMod to only that menu item, then it's redundant in the PHP. If you assign the MetaMod to ALL menu items, then it might be useful to not check for the Itemid, so that the rule will catch the URLs even if the Itemid gets screwed up.

Hope that helps,
Stephen
