sniffing multiple custom fields
Is there a txp native way to check if at least one of the custom fields is populated?
This is what I am trying to achieve
<if populated>
<ul>
<txp:if_custom_field name="one"><li><txp:custom_field name="one'></li></txp:if_custom_field>
<txp:if_custom_field name="two"><li><txp:custom_field name="two'></li></txp:if_custom_field>
etc
</ul>
<txp:else />
</if populated> Basically if none of the custom fields are populated I don’t want the uls to render. Is there a way I can achieve the above?

not 100% sure it’ll work, but maybe smd_if ?

Re: sniffing multiple custom fields
hi kermie, thanks but I am nevertheless searching for a native way. But since I posted this thread I eventually opted to use chh_if_data so the code becomes
<txp:chh_if_data>
<ul>
<txp:if_custom_field name="one"><li><txp:custom_field name="one' /></li></txp:if_custom_field>
<txp:if_custom_field name="two"><li><txp:custom_field name="two' /></li></txp:if_custom_field>
etc
</ul>
<txp:else />
</txp:chh_if_data>Which works just fine. I seem to be having time on my hands in the past few days so I am trying to figure out ways to use txp with the minimum of plugins.

<txp:else />
At least one custom field is populated
</txp:if_variable>Offline
Re: sniffing multiple custom fields
Els to the rescue again. This is embarrassing:) Works beautifully.
I guess the next question would be if anyone know whether the native code works more efficiently to the plugin?
