Re: different output depending on article existence

this code outputs nothing.
the specific section name is special and there is articles now.

Re: different output depending on article existence

It should output either Ain’t or Is. Can’t be nothing. What do you see?

<txp:variable name="hasarticles" value='<txp:article_custom section=''<txp:section />'' limit="1" />' />
<txp:if_variable name="hasarticles" value="">
<txp:else />

Re: different output depending on article existence

Are you displaying this on another section’s page? The first and the second article_custom tag should point to the same section, otherwise it’s testing for content in a different section ;) So either change the section attribute in the first tag to section="eripakkumised", or – if you need this for all ‘current’ sections – change the second one to section='<txp:section />'.
