Hi,

I have a field in my DD that is required, If I uncheck that it is required, it messes up the formatting by wrapping an <h2> around everything. Instead of just not showing the h2. Could you please look at the code.

Attached is the code.

• staff-directory.xml 3.75 KB
• staff-directory-dd.xml 4 KB

   Hi Ellen,

   You should be able to surround the <h2> with a conditional that checks to see if the heading has a value or not. Something like the following should do the trick:

   ...
       #set ( $heading = $directory.getChild("heading"))
       #if ($heading.value != '')
           <h2>$_EscapeTool.xml($heading.value)</h2>
       #end
   ...
   

   Please let me know if you have any questions.

   Thanks!

   Yes, that did the trick. My attempt looked like this.

   #set ( $heading = $directory.getChild("heading") )
       #if ($heading.value != "")
       $_SerializerTool.serialize($heading, true))

   #end
   <h2>$_EscapeTool.xml($heading.value)</h2>

   Thank you for following up, Ellen. I am glad to hear my suggestion did the trick.

   I'm going to go ahead and close this discussion, please feel free to comment or reply to re-open if you have any additional questions.

   Have a great day!
