How to write if else condition in dtl files

[sunil2012]

Hi There,

I tried following lines to make some change in the .dtl file on condition basis, but it didn't work for me, it is printing everything as it is.

if($Data{"TypeID"} == 7){
<div id='ArticleTypeID'></div>
}

Please suggest how to write condition based statements in the .dtl files.

Thanks in advance

There are/were "dtl:if" blocks for templates but they are deprecated. You should do the job in the .pm files...
