Conditional Macro: requestIsEdit

Operators:

• no operators

Usage Notes

• Tests to see if the current request is for a message editing page (such as http://www.yoursite.com/777/edit).
  
  
• Returns false for anything that is not a message editing page for browser-based message editing. Replying to messages, and creating new messages with the /__NewThread__ page, are not examples of message editing.
  
  
• While it could be used anywhere, this conditional macro will probbaly be most useful in your message editing template (which is used for creating, editing, and replying to messages).
  
  

Examples
