Right: I've got a editable field called SidebarHTML in my template. It allows Site Editors to click on a 'Sidebar' tab in the CMS and enter field that is then displayed on the page. Even I can see it's not rocket science! But how do I get rid of the field/background if there is NO content (nothing, nada, none) in the SidebarHTML field?
I'm assuming it's something like:
<% if ???? %>
$SidebarHTML
<% end_if %>Just wondering what to call ????? Any ideas?
Should just be
<% if SideBarHTML %>
$SidebarHTML
<% end_if %>or maybe
<% if SideBarHTML != '' %>
$SidebarHTML
<% end_if %>Thanks Kirk - had already tried Version 1 which didn't work, didn't know about Version 2 but unfortunately it didn't work either...
$SidebarHTML is just the content of the textField? So there's some HTML around that in your template that constructs the sidebar? That should be withinin the <% if %> conditional as well. But you probably did that... Also it wouldn't work if the htmltext contained only tags and/or spaces instead of visible text for some reason...
