I just checked it on my own system and '{$Var}' occurs before '{('. This will mean that the variable-substitution will be attempted before you have created the variable name using your markup expression. Of course the difficulty is that often markup expressions use variables and so you wouldn't really want to swap the order. You may want to implement my '{earlymx(' rule that I have in WikiSh.php. The markup itself is about as ugly as I think could be invented, but it will solve your problem. Other, more elegant, solutions will hopefully be suggested by others.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-Peter</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 11:51 AM, Criss Ittermann <span dir="ltr" class=""><<a href="mailto:crisses@kinhost.org" target="_blank" class="">crisses@kinhost.org</a>></span> wrote:<br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class=""><div class="">Thank you, it spits out:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:'Liberation sans',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:15px" class="">(:if exists Profile-Data.{Members/Hosts$:201504} :) [...] (:else:) [...] (:if:)</span></div><div class=""><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:'Liberation sans',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:15px" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div class=""><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:'Liberation sans',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;line-height:15px" class="">So the PTV does not appear to have been processed yet -- the markup expression has, though.

It may be possible to intercept the if code and find out what
condition pmwiki is evaluating, which should give information about
what is happening. Try this in local/config.php:<br class="">
<br class="">
$CondTextReplacement = "MyTempRepl(\$pagename, \$m[0], \$m[1])";<br class="">
function MyTempRepl($pagename, $text, $code='') {<br class="">
echo $text;<br class="">
return CondText2($pagename, $text, $code);<br class="">
}<br class="">
<br class="">
If I am reading stdmarkup.php correctly, this should echo the
contents of the if code at the time the conditional is evaluated,
which will show whether the var has been evaluated as intended.<br class="">
