Hi.

I have a Conditional Outside a Channel entries tag which should determin if a Channel has 1. Entries at all, 2. Expired entries, 3. Closed entries:
I tried

{if channel_short_name == "news"}

But somehow that returns the wrapped content no matter if entries are closed or expired.
The reason that I have the conditional is outside the channel tag is that I dont want to repeat the h2 tag.

{if there are a displayable entries in the "news" channel, display this whole package.}
   <h2>News</h2>
<p>   <hr ><br />
   {exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="2"}<br />
      <div class="entry panel"><br />
        </p><h3>{title}</h3>
<p>         {news_text}<br />
         {if news_full OR news_bild}<br />
            <div id="{entry_id}" class="toggleDiv"><br />
               {news_full}<br />
               {exp:ce_img:single src="{news_bild}" max_width="346" smart_scale="yes" alt="{name_orig}"}<br />
            </div><br />
            <a href="#%22class=%22show_hide" rel="#{entry_id}" class="show_hide">Mehr…</a><br />
        {/if}<br />
      </div><br />
   {/exp:channel:entries}<br />
{/if}

This brings me to another question:

Is it possible to set expired entries to “closed”?

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="2"} {if count == 1} <h2>News</h2> <p> <hr ><br /> {/if}<br /> <div class="entry panel"><br /> </p><h3>{title}</h3> <p> {news_text}<br /> {if news_full OR news_bild}<br /> <div id="{entry_id}" class="toggleDiv"><br /> {news_full}<br /> {exp:ce_img:single src="{news_bild}" max_width="346" smart_scale="yes" alt="{name_orig}"}<br /> </div><br /> <a href="#%22class=%22show_hide" rel="#{entry_id}" class="show_hide">Mehr…</a><br /> {/if}<br /> </div><br /> {/exp:channel:entries}
