Display content block or not

[Bennie_wijs]

Hello all,

Is there a way to check if a content block will be filled or not??.

More info:
I am building a new template and I am making a display block for a second content block.
But I want this block to be hidden unless the second content block has data.

Can this be done???

Yes.
This is possible.

Please use the search.

One hint: the template "Andreas 06 - falling leaves" hast this functionality built in.

Regards,

Code: [Select]

<?php 
ob_start(); 
page_content(2); //When contentblock 2 is used
$content2=ob_get_contents();  
ob_end_clean(); 
if ($content2<>"") { ?>
    <div class="someclass">
           <?php echo $content2; ?>
    </div>
<?php } ?>

This will work when no content block (2) is added to the page, otherwise there will be some data (about 50 bytes) even on empty blocks.
