Re: Help with a FTL if

Hi Prasath

Thanks for pointing that out so the revised code should look something like 
this so that if there is no content in description is uses long_description? 

        <#if productContentWrapper.get("DESCRIPTION")?has_content>
            ${productContentWrapper.get("DESCRIPTION")}
            <#else>
            ${productContentWrapper.get("LONG_DESCRIPTION")}
         </#if>
