[Solved, solution inside] Revolution PHx? To snip or not to snip...

It uses native MODx input and output filters.

Oh what I meant was, do the :if, :then, and :else conditional modifiers exist out of the box? Because I can’t find those in input and Output Filters Modx Revo docs.

Yes they are!

edit: You can find all the available filters in the following file "core/model/modx/filters/modoutputfilter.class.php"

Yes, they exists out of the box. Much like the other modifiers they use native code provided by MODx itself.

Somebody put :if :then :else in docs. Don’t get me wrong, [[If]] is a great snippet but output modifiers are much shorter to write

Aside from that, statements like:

[[*content:len:eq=`0`:then=`Empty`:else=`Not empty, duh.`]]

Have already been though of by MODx as so:

[[*content:notempty=`Not empty, duh.`]]

Only use those statements when you’re building something more complex like doing calculations for resizing layouts, table columns and others.

Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression PHx was totally wiped off the face of Revo, and those conditional statements are useful for creating interesting visuals.
