Re: Come on, make if_data core
Yes, I know I’m repeating myself :)
<txp:variable name="if_caption" value='<txp:upm_img_caption />' />
<div class="imgInfo"><cite><txp:upm_img_alt /></cite><txp:if_variable name="if_caption" value=""><txp:else />, <txp:upm_img_caption /></txp:if_variable></div>Offline
Re: Come on, make if_data core
Forgive me Els – :)
chh_if_data version
<div class="imgInfo"><cite><txp:upm_img_alt /></cite><txp:chh_if_data>, <txp:upm_img_caption /></txp:chh_if_data></div>
vs.
if_variable version
<txp:variable name="if_caption" value='<txp:upm_img_caption />' />
<div class="imgInfo"><cite><txp:upm_img_alt /></cite><txp:if_variable name="if_caption" value=""><txp:else />, <txp:upm_img_caption /></txp:if_variable></div>
Seems to me that chh_if_data would take this round.
:)

Re: Come on, make if_data core
Bing! Yep I beleive no-one has a problem with using if variable per-se.
It’s just a big, ugly chunk of code to use in numerous places on your site. And no-one has yet addressed the issue of precedent. That is, if we add an ulra-specific tag like if_article_image why not add a tag that is actually 900 times more useful and can still handle the initial problem? But I’m officially out of breath, here.
I’ll continue to install chh_if_data till it doesn’t work, then I’ll use twice the code with the ugly hack that uses the if_variable tag. YAY!

Of course :) I just love the variable and if_variable tags so much that I can’t stop talking about them… ;)
