Design file - nest item based on page content

(Hopkinsd1) #1

Hello,

 

Within my design I am trying to get the following functionality to work.

 

If a page has any child pages, display a list of links to those pages. However if that page has content I don't want that list of links to be displayed.

 

So far I have the following.

 

A design file that has a "has_children" show_if design area, that nests an asset listing if the page has children. This show_if has print="no" so that I can call it in the relevant part of my page.

Further down in my page I then have 

My trouble is, I don't know how to create the logic that will only print the "check_for_children" is the page has no content in the "page_body".

 

I hope that makes sense.

 

Thanks

David

Could you move the logic into a Paint Layout instead? Then you could use the empty: keyword modifier to see if the asset_contents_raw is empty.

Another thought... will pages that have children but no content EVER get any content and need to suddenly start showing it dynamically? If not, then sounds like you should use a folder asset for the ones that only have children, and use the page asset only for the ones that do have content. That way you can have a paint layout with two different type definitions - one for folders that nests an asset listing that gives links to the children, and one for the standard pages that prints their contents.
