So <r:if_content part="my_part" allow_blank="false"> would be your use case to override and <r:if_content part="my_part"> would be the default where allow_blank is assumed to be true. Although now that I look at that, I'm not sure allow_blank is easy to understand. In pseudo-code, I'd want if content, when not blank for the part X expand the contents of the tag So maybe <r:if_content part="my_part" check_for_text="false"> (the equivalent of not checking to see if the content is blank) The attribute should make sense, but I'd guess it's likely that it won't be used often and that most uses would be the typical no-map part for building site maps (where you would now be required to add check_for_text="false"). Aside from the attribute name, my expectation for the behavior of the tag would be that if inherit is set to true, and check_for_text is set to true (the default) then Radiant would continue to look up the page tree if the part does exist but has no text. -- Jim Gay http://www.saturnflyer.com _______________________________________________ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
