Only display if completed [SOLVED] was created by webfooted

Hi there

I'm setting up a custom item.php template calling the fields directly to the template as per this post: www.flexicontent.org/forum/index ... =viewtopic

That's working great, but I would now like to set it so that fields only display if they have something entered in them (and aren't displayed if they're blank).

For example I've got this bit of code

Code:

<h3>Awards</h3>
<table>
	<tr>
		<td><?php echo $this->fields['awardlogo']->display; ?></td>
		<td><?php echo $this->fields['awards']->display; ?></td>
	</tr>
</table>

and I would only like it to display if there is some content in the 'awards' field.

If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful!

Cheers, Emily

Hi, try this:

Code:

<h3>Awards</h3>
<table>
<tr>
<td><?php 
$awardlogo = $this->fields['awardlogo']->display;
if ($awardlogo != '') {
    echo $awardlogo; }
?></td>

<td><?php
$awards = $this->fields['awards']->display;
if ($awards != "") {
    echo $awards; }
?></td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks pabro, I really appreciate your help.

What I would like is to only display that whole block (including the h3 and table) if something has been entered into awards. Does that make sense?

Place your code inside between these 2 lines:

Code:

<?php if ($this->fields['awards']->display) : ?>
<?php endif; ?>

In the above code i had one more parenthesis than needed i updated it ...

So, now the whole block will only display if "awards" is not empty

Code:

<?php

$awardlogo = $this->fields['awardslogo']->display;
$awards = $this->fields['awards']->display;

if ($awards != "") {
    echo "<h3>Awards</h3>
            <table>
            <tr>
            <td>$awardlogo</td>
            <td>$awards</td>
            <tr>
         </table>";}

?>

Very cool, thanks Pabro - that's exactly what I need. Thanks so much for your help.
