Hi all,

I have a h3 headline that only should be displayed if there are content in the list that follow.

I’ve put the <ul> tag outside of the weblog entries tag in order for them not to repeat for each list item.

<h3>Läs mer</h3>
<p><ul><br />
 {exp:weblog:entries weblog="hjalptexter"  related_categories_mode="on" custom_fields="off" member_data="off" disable="member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}    <br />
<li><a href="http://{path=">{title}</a></li><br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}    <br />
</ul>

Any ideas? I’m bushed tonight.

Here’s what I’d do:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="hjalptexter"  related_categories_mode="on" custom_fields="off" member_data="off" disable="member_data|pagination|trackbacks" limit="1"}<h3>Läs mer</h3>{/exp:weblog:entries}

Notice the limit=“1” parameter. This means your H3 tag will only display once no matter how many entries you have in that weblog, but won’t display at all if it’s empty.

Then you can add the <ul> underneath and repeat your weblog query to display the actual entries, if there are any.

Here’s what I’d do:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="hjalptexter" related_categories_mode="on" 
custom_fields="off" member_data="off" disable="member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}    

   {if count == "1"}
      <h3>Läs mer</h3>
<p>      <ul><br />
   {/if}</p>

<p>      <li><br />
         <a href="http://{path=">{title}</a><br />
      </li></p>

<p>   {if count == total_results}<br />
      </ul><br />
   {/if}<br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Ingmar,

Without testing this myself, it looks like the above code would only display the H3 tag if there was exactly one entry in the weblog. Is that correct?

If so, would you instead do this:

{if count > 0}<h3>Läs mer</h3>{/if}

Thanks Ingmar and vosSavant!

No, that is not correct. It would display it only if the current entry was the first one, ie once. {count} is incremented by one on every repetition of the loop.
