Hi There, I have create a page that displays a series of fields. I came across an issue today where a data field was left empty. I would like the page to look to see if the field is empty and if it is, it will give a message. I looked in the user guide, but the if conditionals are all checking against some pre-defined parameter. How do you search for “empty”, then give a message?

Thanks in advance.

Hiya,

This should give you what you need :

{if name_of_custom_field_here != ""}
{name_of_custom_field_here}
{if:else}
Message to show if field has no content
{/if}

Do be aware though that if someone places even a space into the field then the message would never show because to all intents and purposes it would have something in it.

Hope that helps a bit though.

Best wishes,

Mark

Thanks Mark, That worked perfectly.
