Using if variable instead of if data plugin?
I heard you can use the if variable tag instead of the if data plugin. How is this done?

<txp:variable name="has_output" value='<txp:article_custom id="22" />' />
<txp:if_variable name="has_output">
<p>There is article with id=22</p>
<txp:else />
<p>No article with id=22</p>
</txp:if_variable>The idea, i think, is clear. For chacking large code snippets, you can use forms in variable name

I’m not sure that would work Victor. You need to check the “value”. Something like this does work though cuz I’m using it:-
<txp:variable name="website" value='<txp:comment_web />' />
<txp:if_variable name="website" value="">
<txp:else />
<dt><span>Website</span></dt>
<dd><a href="http://<txp:comment_web />"><txp:comment_web /></a></dd>

It may be for the <txp:variable /> tag but you still need to check the “value” in the <txp:if_variable> tag, in other words using Victor’s example:-
<txp:variable name="has_output" value='<txp:article_custom id="22" />' />
<txp:if_variable name="has_output" value="">
<p>No article with id=22</p>
<txp:else />
<p>There is article with id=22</p>

It still is unset by default, (note: i just said it is unset, nothing more :D) atts array’s value -index returns unset, if it ain’t set. What will you think it will return if it is checked with isset()? False or true? ;)
Edit. And, yes I meant the if_variable, plus I did not disagree in anyhow with you ;D
