Hi
If I write <h1>[*longtitle*]</h1> in my template and don´t use the longtitle my site will print an empty <h1></h1>
Can I write something like : php if longtitle ........

I don´t know anything about PHP!

Hope you understand my English!

This can be done with PHx - http://modxcms.com/PHx-1006.html
[*longtitle:isnot=``:then=`<h1>[*longtitle*]</h1>`:else=``*]

This may work for you as well without using PHx (although PHx is great if you do not know PHP)

<?php
/* [!myField? $field=`[*pagetitle*]`] */

$field = isset($field) ? "<h1>".$field."</h1>" : "";
return $field;

?>

There are more sophisticated methods but this should work and is easy to understand since it does not use the modx api. Simply use the snippet [!myField? $field=`[*pagetitle*]`] and change the field placeholder to be whatever you want. You can edit the output but changing "<h1>".$field."</h1>".

Note: We are using the Ternary Operator to do the logic.

Here's a slightly simpler (but less flexible) version:

Put this in your template where the longtitle would go:

[!LongTitle!]

Then create a snippet called LongTitle and paste in this code:

<?php
$field = $modx->documentObject['longtitle']
return empty($field)? "" : '<h1>'.$field.'</h1>'; 
?>

The last line is equivalent to this:

if (empty($field)) {
   return "";
} else {
   return '<h1>'.$field.'</h1>';
}

And here's another way using a placeholder (just to show how flexible MODx is):

In your template:

[!LongTitle!]
[+my_longtitle+]

In the snippet:

<?php
$field = $modx->documentObject['longtitle']
$modx->setPlaceholder('my_longtitle', empty($field)? "" : '<h1>'.$field.'</h1>'); 
?>

I hope this doesn't confuse you too much. Feel free to ask questions if you run into trouble.

Also be careful about making suggestions, unless you're ready to step up an volunteer.
