Using phx in a ditto call to create links for some items

I have some documents in a ditto call that are "shown in menu" and some that are not. I’d like the items that are ticked "shown in menu" to become links so you can get to the page, and the others that are not ticked just to show in the results. I have a phx call:

[+phx:if=`[*showinmenu*]`:is=`1`:then=`{{Chunk}}`:else=`{{OtherChunk}}`+]

Does anyone know what the correct placeholder is for "show in menu" ?

Cheers!

[+hidemenu:is=`0`:then=`{{Chunk}}`:else=`{{OtherChunk}}`+]

Thanks Bruno that works great - but it’s created another problem!

Now, for some reason, the introtext placeholder doesn’t work in either template, even though the pagetitle placeholder does! very weird. I’ve tried [+content+], that also doesn’t work (displays blank like introtext) but I tried [+id+] and that displayed the ID fine. Bizarre. My ditto call looks like this:

[!Ditto? &parents=`[*id*]` &tpl=`campratesTableCatTplMasonryInit` &sortBy=`menuindex` &sortDir=`ASC`!]

campratesTableCatTplMasonryInit looks like this:

[+hidemenu:is=`0`:then=`{{campratesTableCatTplMasonryLink}}`:else=`{{campratesTableCatTplMasonry}}`+]

campratesTableCatTplMasonry looks like this

<div class="masonryBoxSub">
<h4>[+pagetitle+]</h4>
<p>[+introtext+]</p>
</div>

and campratesTableCatTplMasonryLink looks like this:

<div class="masonryBoxSub">
<h4><a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+pagetitle+]</a></h4>
<p>[+introtext+]</p>
</div>

Is this the correct way to call the ditto call with phx?

Ditto can’t see these placeholders in your chunks, I think and does not retrieve this fields.
But you can use &hiddenfields or &hiddenFields to get them.

Or try:

<div class="masonryBoxSub">
[+hidemenu:is=`0`:then=`
<h4><a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+pagetitle+]</a></h4>
`:else=`
<h4>[+pagetitle+]</h4>
`+] 
<p>[+introtext+]</p>
</div>

Brilliant bruno, I used your code above and added &hiddenFields=`pagetitle,id` to the Ditto call and it worked.

Thanks very much!
