```
   [[*homepage_image:isnot=``:then=`<div>2 columns</div>`:else=`<div>1 Column</div>`]]
```
is there a better way to do a conditional output for something being empty?

basically i have a space for an image, and if they don't select an image I want the page to be full width. if they do select a image i want it to be 2 columns... the above works but I am wondering if there is another or better way to do it?

can you assign conditional output filters to
```
 'default'
```
or
```
 'isempty'
```
etc etc

This would be a little faster:
```
[[ImageDiv]]
```
```
<?php
/* ImageDiv snippet */

return empty($modx->resource->getTVValue('homepage_image'))
   ? '<div>2 columns</div>`
   : `<div>1 Column</div>`;
```
I think it would be a little faster yet if you replaced 'homepage_image' with the ID of the TV.

default and isempty won't really help you because in your case they do the same thing as isnot.
