[SalesForce] Render if variable contains text value in visualforce

I am trying to use render if condition on a viasualforce based on a value containing a string but this seems not to work. What am I missing? See:

        <apex:pageBlock title="Manuals">
        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!urlmap}" var="key">
            <apex:column value="{!key}"/>
            <apex:column width="150px">
                 <apex:outputtext rendered="{IF(CONTAINS({!key},'Manual'),true, false)}">
                <apex:outputLink value="{!urlmap[key]}">Click here to download</apex:outputLink>
                </apex:outputtext>
            </apex:column>
        </apex:pageBlockTable>
    </apex:pageBlock>

Merge field is not required for variable already inside a merge fields, so the expression should go inside {! }:

<apex:outputtext rendered="{!IF(CONTAINS(key,'Manual'), true, false)}">
    <apex:outputLink value="{!urlmap[key]}">Click here to download</apex:outputLink>
</apex:outputtext>

You could get rid of IF as CONTAINS(key,'Manual') returns a Boolean already.

Visualforce expressions don't support a syntax like what you seem to need:

<apex:column headerValue="List Price" rendered="{!ISFIELDPOPULATEDINANY(listQLI2, List_Price__c)}">
    <apex:outputField value="{!OLI2.List_Price__c}"/>
</apex:column>

OLI2 here is your iteration variable, which will take on the value of each entry in listQLI2 as Visualforce renders the table. It can't act as a sort of proxy for the value of a field across the whole data set.

You have to drop to Apex to implement that summarization of the underlying list data. You could simply implement this as a Boolean property:

public Boolean anyListPricePopulated {
    get { 
        for (QuoteLineItem qli : listQLI2) {
            if (qli.ListPrice != null) {
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}

Then, in Visualforce,

<apex:column headerValue="List Price" rendered="{! anyListPricePopulated  }">
    <apex:outputField value="{!OLI2.List_Price__c}"/>
</apex:column>

[SalesForce] Visualforce Conditionally Render 2 Different Fields based on 2 conditions

Sure. You've already got the pattern you need, and the conditions you have in place are entirely independent of one another - so you just need another <apex:outputPanel> with a different rendered condition.

   <apex:outputPanel rendered="{!If(PartnershipRequest__c.MatchPartner__c 
 == 'Existing Partner',true,false)}" id="op2">

Side note here: the rendered attribute is expecting a Boolean value, and PartnershipRequest__c.MatchPartner__c == 'Existing Partner' is already a Boolean expression. You can omit the IF() and just do

   <apex:outputPanel rendered="{! PartnershipRequest__c.MatchPartner__c 
 == 'Existing Partner' }" id="op2">

Your other conditional would be identical save for the text value 'New Partner', in a new <apex:outputPanel> right after (and outside) this one.
