  1. set variable
    • In this case calling the output of a TXP tag by using single quotes
  2. use variable in an empty/filled situation
    • value="" = empty

In this example also the usage of name="if_anouncements" is disorienting.

Instead, we can use this code, placed early in your page (before you need to display the results):

Don’t use proverbs!

Instead, with Textpattern >4.0.7 it is possible to set a variable first with <txp:variable name="variable" value="value" />. After setting the variable a second step using a <txp:if_variable …> container makes it possible to create different output like in every other TXP <txp:if_…> condition.

I hope that in the next release – 4.0.9 – the team add a new tag if_data to replace the useful plugin :)
