Testing Empty Replicates

davidraso

Hi,

Is there an easy way to test if a replicate is empty?
The only example I can find below gets very complicated when you have many nested replicates.

<iw_iterate var="randomVariable" list="dcr.randomItem">
<iw_if expr='{iw_value name="randomVariable.text"/}'>
<iw_then>
//* Place anything you want in here
</iw_then>
</iw_if>
<iw last/>
</iw_iterate>

thanks

If you're asking for a function like iw_is_replicant_empty, then no. You're going to have to iterate through the replicant and check if all of the fields are empty. If I remember right, Johnny posted a function that did just that not too long ago in response to a similar post. You might be able to find it if you search a bit.
