In pseudo code
Based on the value of the honor_type taxonomy, I would like different output:
if Honor_Type = "Faculty"
output <h4 class="class-of">Years of Service {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
else
output <h4 class="class-of">Years of Service {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
end if
```
Is this possible with Twig? If so, how?

Here's the Twig code I have in the View:

	<div class="card-heading">
		<h4 class="honor-type">
		{% for item in post.vod_honor_type_tax %} 
			{{ item.name }}
		{% endfor %}</h4>
		<h1 class="honoree-name">{{ post.vod_honoree_names }}</h1>		
		<h4 class="class-of">class of {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
     </div>
```
It's the last line containing the h4 that I need to vary based on the value of vod_honor_type.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello there,

It's not a possibility of Twig, it's how you create your conditional code to output the value. I add the code below for example.
```
{% for item in post.vod_honor_type_tax %} 
	{% if item.name == 'somthing' %}
		<h4 class="honor-type">{{ item.name }}</h4>
		<h1 class="honoree-name">{{ post.vod_honoree_names }}</h1>		
		<h4 class="class-of">class of {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
	{% else %}
		something if false
	{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
```
To understand how to use Twig, please read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-views/#twig

Thanks Peter.

This code goes into a view for a Single item, so I don't think I can use a for loop as I'm seeing multiple items returned.
```
<div class="vod-wrapper">
	<div class="card-heading">
	    <h4 class="honor-type">{{ post.vod_honor_type_tax.name }}</h4>
		<h1 class="honoree-name">{{ post.vod_honoree_names }}</h1> 
		{% for item in post.vod_honor_type_tax %} 
			{% if item.name == 'Faculty' %}
                <h4 class="years-of-service">Years of Service {{ post.years_of_service }}</h4>
        {% else %}
                <h4 class="class-of">Class of {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
        {% endif %}
		{% endfor %}

</div>
```
With the View code above, I'm seeing this for output

and

Instead of this:

and

Hello,

If this code output the honor type term name correctly

<h4 class="honor-type">{{ post.vod_honor_type_tax.name }}</h4>

then I think you don't need to use the loop to check the term name.

Thank you Peter.
This is what I finally got to work. I appreciate your help in finding a solution.

The key I was looking for was:
{% if post.vod_honor_type_tax.name == 'Faculty' %}
```
	<div class="card-heading">
	    <h4 class="honor-type">{{ post.vod_honor_type_tax.name }}</h4>
		<h1 class="honoree-name">{{ post.vod_honoree_names }}</h1> 
			{% if post.vod_honor_type_tax.name == 'Faculty' %}
			   <h4 class="years-of-service">Years of Service {{ post.years_of_service }}</h4>
			{% else %}
			    <h4 class="class-of">class of {{ post.vod_class_of_tax.name }}</h4>
			{% endif %}
	</div>
```
