I appreciate that the documentation is still in progress. Besides the string modifiers, are there conditional operators to come? (in the documentation i.e.); I couldn’t find any. Thx.

Are filters the answer to simple logic that is currently possible with Phx - e.g. "if TV is empty do this; if it is not empty do that" - ?
Yes.

OR, like has been proposed in other posts, to use snippets (conform to MVC) for such logic instead ? Many thanks.cheers/k
Yes.

Both are true. Filters employ pHX-style parsing, but for conditional logic, we would prefer people use Snippets. However, flexibility over rigidity is a goal of MODx, so we kept the conditionals in there. You can do it however you want.

It’s up to you.]]> splittingred Aug 13, 2009, 07:04 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/28854/revo-filters#dis-post-155207 <![CDATA[Revo Filters]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/28854/revo-filters#dis-post-155206
According to the Revo docs in the Wiki

What are Filters?

Filters in Revolution allow you to manipulate the way data is presented or parsed in a tag.

Input Filters: Currently input filters process tag calls. More documentation to come.

Output Filters: In Revolution, Output Filters behave similarly to Phx calls in MODx 096 - except they’re built into the core.
