I am trying to enable or disable social link for the whole site through the usage of an If statement and TV s. However the TV s need to be assigned to a template and then filled out per page. Meaning that on every page someone would need to choose to have a FB link or not. I m trying to create a TV for every social link tht contains user login, and if empy then don t display the FB link etc etc
```
[[If? &subject=`[[*facebookusername]]` &operator=`notempty` &then=`<p>[[$showfacebookchunk]]</p>`]]
```
So question how to make it so that one only fills out the username and the link appears on the website?

I'm not sure you need If to do this.

Try:
```
[[*facebookusername:isnot=``:then=`<p>[[$showfacebookchunk]]</p>`]]
```
You could use If with a radio button TV set to
```
yes==yes||no==no
```
as well, depending on the necessity of the username part. Like this:
```
[[If? &subject=`[[*yes_noTV]]` &operator=`EQ` &operand=`yes` &then=`<p>[[$showfacebookchunk]]</p>`]]
```
You could also use Switch to select single different social chunks. Make a radio button TV with:
```
facebook==facebook||twitter==twitter||other==other
```
chunks for the markup for each kind you'd like to include, and a chunk calling the TV placeholder
```
[[+whichSocialLink]]
```
Then use Switch like this:
```
 [[switch?
  &get=`[[getResources? &resources =`[[*id]]` &tpl=`socialLinksTpl` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` &tvPrefix=`` &parents=`-1`]]`
  &c1=`facebook` &do1=`
  <div>
     [[$showFacebookChunk]]
    </div>`
  &c2=`twitter` &do2=`
  <div>
      [[$showTwitterChunk]]
    </div>`
  &c3=`other` &do3=`
  <div>
      [[$showAnotherChunk]]
    </div>`
]]
```
