In the following example, I am getting custom field data to show correctly, but at the end of the entries, I get an extra “[]”, as shown below. How would I use a conditional (or would I) to make sure that info is displayed only if it exists for a custom field?

CODE:

<table>
{exp:weblog:entries}
<tr>
<td colspan=“2”>{fitness_article_title}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=“2”>{fitness_article_intro}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=“left”>[{fitness_article_source}]</td>
<td align=“right”>{fitness_article_url}</td>
</tr>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
</table>

RESULTING OUTPUT:

Title

Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.Intro goes here.

[]  <——————- this is shown below the final entry and should not be there.

Without knowing what your entries are, it’s a little hard to understand why you’d end up with the extra brackets, but you can definitely accomplish what you want to do with conditionals.

You could try this:

{if fitness_article_source != ""}
[{fitness_article_source}]
{/if}

or this:

{if fitness_article_source}
[{fitness_article_source}]
{/if}

Thank you…this did the trick.
