Page Links - If Then?

[Brandon Eley]

I've been working on a template and have just about everything in "if
then" statements in the ShopSite templates as to keep the code as clean
as possible.

With the page links, I tried the following:

[-- IF LINKS --]
<div id="links">
[-- LOOP LINKS {numcolumns} --]
[-- LINKS --]
[-- END_LOOP LINKS --]
</div>
[-- END_IF --]

But it didn't work. It worked for just about every other field I tried.
Anyone know of a way to get this to work w/ ShopSite templates?

the LINKS tag will not work in an IF tag. Try something like this:

[-- IF PAGE.NumLinks 0 --]
# do nothing
[-- ELSE --]
<div id="links">
[-- LOOP LINKS {numcolumns} --]
[-- LINKS --]
[-- END_LOOP LINKS --]
</div>
[-- END_IF --]

Awesome... thanks Loren. That was exactly what I was looking for...
