MIGX and conditionals

I'm using MIGX to generate a list of entries on a page, but not all of the fields in MIGX will always be filled in and I want to hide any sign of them when they're blank.

I tried using PHx with "notempty", but it didn't seem to work. I'm now trying MODX's "If" add-on, but this isn't doing what I want either. Please see the code below:

<li>
    <h3>[[+title]]</h3>
    <span class="Date">[[+startDate]] - [[+endDate]]</span>
    [[+info]]
    [[If?
    &subject=`[[+link]]`
    &operator=`is`
    &operand=`notempty`
    &then=`<a href="[[+link]]" class="cvLink">Link</a>`
    &else=``
    ]]
</li>

This outputs nothing, regardless of whether there's an entry for "+link" or not. What am I doing wrong? [ed. note: chr.s last edited this post 14 years ago.]

Try with just &operand=`notempty`, omit &operator.

I'm not sure you need &else either.

Hey, thanks for the tip - but it doesn't work for me.

I tried every combination of your suggestions, but no joy.

Edit: Found out the issue was MIGX outputting "--" for any empty entries. very odd, but have now compensated. [ed. note: chr.s last edited this post 14 years ago.]
