I think this is a good idea. Possibly painful, but ultimately good. I'd like to broaden the discussion a bit and also suggest a change to if_content so that it checks if content is not blank in a part, and if_part which would check if the part exists. I think those names would be more consistent with their features, much like the if_url and if_path would be. -- Jim Gay http://www.saturnflyer.com _______________________________________________ Radiant mailing list Post: [email protected] Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
