How to detect if values exist in replicant ??

Hello All,

I was wondering if anyone can help me out with this problem.

I have several items which are replicants, which need to be detected from my tpl. Meaning, if no values have been entered in any of the replicant items - my tpl performs conditional logic depending upon if values have been entered in the items ( replicants and non replicants).

I am able to detect unfilled values when the item is a regular text field, or a textarea, but to detect a unfilled replicant eludes me. For instance, I have a replicant item called URL which is 'not required'. I need to determine if the url item contains a value or not. Can anyone help me out with this.

Thanks in advance.

See if the following example helps:

<item name="SomeItem">
<replicant min="0" max="5" default="0">
<item name="Link">
<browser extns=".doc,.ppt" initial-dir="/docs" />
</item>
</replicant>
</item>

Presentation Template

<iw_iterate list='dcr.SomeItem' var='varSomeItem'>
<iw_if expn="{iw_value name='varSomeItem.Link'/} ne ''"><iw_then><![CDATA[
<a href='<iw_value name='varSomeItem.Link'/>'>hello</a><br>
]]></iw_then></iw_if>
</iw_iterate>

Thanks.
