Magento – Conditionally show blocks in layout XML

configurationlayoutmagento-1templatexml

I want to display 3 or more type of footer in my theme, but the condition via XML not working properly. If i select Footer Default ( condition 0 ) don't show anything, if i select Footer Type 1 ( condition 1 ) i see Footer Type 1. But if is select Footer Type 2, Footer Type 3, etc i see only Footer Type 1. The "condition" work only for 0 and 1, or for all value ( 0,1,2,3,4,etc ) ?

<action method="setTemplate" ifconfig="footer/footer_type" condition="0">
   <template>page/html/footer/footer_type_default.phtml</template>
</action>
<action method="setTemplate" ifconfig="footer/footer_type" condition="1">
   <template>page/html/footer_type_1.phtml</template>
</action>
<action method="setTemplate" ifconfig="footer/footer_type" condition="2">
   <template>page/html/footer_type_2.phtml</template>
</action>

New Helper/Data.php

<?php

    class ThemeAdmin_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
    {
        public function getTemplate()
            {
                $footerType = Mage::getStoreConfig('footer/footer_type');
                switch ($footerType) {
                    case 0:
                        return "page/html/footer_tp_1.phtml";
                        break;
                    case 1:
                        return "page/html/footer_tp_2.phtml";
                        break;
                    case 2:
                        return "page/html/footer_tp_3.phtml";
                        break;
                    default:
                        break;
                }

            }


    }

Config.xml :

<helpers>
    <themeadmin>
        <class>Admin_ThemeAdmin_Helper</class>
    </themeadmin>
</helpers>

The ifconfig statement only works with yes/no configuration fields.

On top of that I'm not aware of any condition statement to overcome the issue.

Here's the alternative:

<action method="setTemplate">
    <template helper="themeadmin/getTemplate"/>
</action>

In your module, create Helper/Data.php if not already created and add the following method:

public function getTemplate()
{
    $footerType = Mage::getStoreConfig('themeadmin/footer/footer_type');
    switch ($footerType) {
        case 0:
            return "page/html/footer/footer_type_default.phtml";
            break;
        case 1:
            return "page/html/footer_type_1.phtml";
            break;
        case 2:
            return "page/html/footer_type_2.phtml";
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }

}
