Two TVs united

Please have a look at this setup:

There is a dropdown TV with often used strings. Maybe it is called "big" with New York||Tokyo||Berlin.

And then I have a second empty text-TV - "small". Here the user can put in alternative names. Maybe "Dessau", my small home town.

Now I’m pondering about Ditto: Is there any way to display the content of [+tvsmall+] instead of [+tvbig+] if big is empty and small contains a string? I would like to keep the "big"-TV clean.

Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you all.

From Ditto 1.1 beta 1 changelog: "Tags now support multiple tagData sources in a comma delimited fashion and the [+tags+] placeholder for a nice tag list".

Sounds good. I will give it a try.

Why not putting [+big+][+small] together in the ditto-template? Therefore just change the first Tv to

no city selected=={{nothing}}||New York||Tokyo||Berlin

and create an empty chunk called "nothing"

Then the user either selects a city from "big" or has to type in a city for "small", which are displayed identically (as long there is only one TV filled out).

Well, I’m so stupid. >:( Because I had put the two TV placeholders into the chunk - but in different paragraphs. And I was so busy searching a solution that I didn’t realized, that I had found the solution already. Thank you for the tip, MadeMyDay.

Anyway: I tested it with Ditto 1.1 beta 2 and this works too.

Update: With help of the PHx-Plugin you can suppress the output of the "big"-TV set by mistake when there is an entry at "small"-TV.
