Hi,

how do i recognize if widget area is empty ?
I need this inside the template

The name of my widgetArea is 'SideBlock'

The following template code does NOT work for me.
(guessing the method SideBlock() only returns false/null when the relation does not exist)

<% if SideBlock %>
   <div class="span-18">
<% else %>
   <div class="span-24 last">
<% end_if %>

Any ideas ?

Grettings,
Rob

Solution:


<% if SideBlock.Widgets %>
<div class="span-18">
<% else %>
<div class="span-24 last">
<% end_if %>
