Both (int) cast and intval() function return 0 afaik.

So if that’s the case and any non-numeric input or empty input results in 0, maybe we should do the same when escaping to int?

That’s what we do, and I think it’s all right. The question is whether empty strings should be removed before escaping? If yes, we loose the possibility to transform empty strings to numeric 0. If no, empty strings will be wrapped, unless trim is set. I guess we could trim empty strings by default, unless escape is set:

<txp:hide process="1" wraptag="b"></txp:hide> <!-- outputs nothing -->
<txp:hide process="1" wraptag="b" escape="integer"></txp:hide> <!-- outputs <b>0</b> -->

If one wants to remove empty strings before escaping, he can explicitly set trim:

<txp:hide process="1" trim wraptag="b" escape="integer"></txp:hide> <!-- outputs nothing -->

Re: If related articles

That sounds pretty darn logical to me.

Re: If related articles

Tried, unsuccessfully, to follow the thread, so…

First, thank you for related_articles. I must’ve missed this hitting the tags, and it’s pretty boss.

Second, os if_related_articles coming in 4.9? (Is that what the above chat meant?)

No plans to do so. But you can now use txp:evaluate as mentioned above to test for it, in a cleaner manner under 4.9.
