Optional variables

Hi

Hope someone can help with this.

I have this in my template

<h2>[*introtext*]</h2>

But sometimes there will be no introtext, so I’m getting an empty <h2> tag.

Is there a way of putting the <h2> as start/end tags, or making them only show if introtext has content?

Thanks for your help, I’m very new to modx, so not up on the right terminology yet.

from the Tag syntax i understand you’re using modx evolution,

you can try using phx ( http://modxcms.com/extras/package/?package=342 )
not sure but i guess you can use it like this and it should work fine:

[*introtext:isnot=``:then=`<h2>[*introtext*]</h2>`*]

or

[+phx:if=`[*introtext*]`:is=``:then=``:else=`<h2>[*introtext*]</h2>`+]

or

[+phx:if=`[*introtext*]`:ne=``:then=`<h2>[*introtext*]</h2>`+]

hope it helped
