    Hi!

    What is the best way to wrap HTML around commonly used template tags like: [[*id]], [[*pagetitle]], [[*longtitle]], [[*alias]], [[*description]], [[*introtext]],[[*parent]], [[*menutitle]], [[*content]]

    I want to avoid an output if a tag is empty. For example:

    If [[*longtitle]] is not empty:
    <h1>[[*longtitle]]</h1>


    Otherwise not output is generated. Not:
    <h1></h1>


    Best regards,
    loxy

      Did you already look into Phx?

      http://modxcms.com/extras/package/?package=342

      If Phx is installed (plugin) then this should work:

      [*longtitle:ifempty=``:else=`<h1>[*longtitle*]</h1>`*]


      Did not test this right now but there’s a Wiki also.

        The link doesn’t work. I coudn’t find such a plugin also.
        But the input and output filters should work in this manner!
        Or better, they are working definitely. I’ve testet it just now. Thanks!

            Yeah, in Revo output filters is what you are looking for.

            [[*longtitle:notempty=`<h2>[[*longtitle]]</h2>`]]
