Perch if / else - Not having to save region
Is there a way I can make a slideshow show a default image if the user does not add an image themselves but not have to save an empty region to activate the Perch:if statement?
Currently I have the following but this means the user still needs to save the region to define the content.
<perch:if exists="bannerimage">
<li style="background-image: url(<perch:content type="image" id="bannerimage" label="Banner image" width="1200" help="Image must be at least 1200px width" />)"><perch:else /><li style="background-image: url(/img/default-header.jpg)"></perch:if>
How about using a
<perch:noresults>region in the template?Didn't work unfortunately
What happened?
Nothing still says <!-- undefined content --> in the HTML
You should only get that HTML comment for a new content region that does have a template picked. Is that the case in your circumstance? That you want a placeholder before the region is even defined?
I think in that circumstance it may be better to define the region using
perch_content_create()The region has been defined as it uses the Master template which is referring to my 'about' page to define its regions. However the region still needs to be saved first to make the template if statements work.
Ok, so does that suggested solution not work?
It didn't seem to make any difference. I still had Undefined content.
Ok. I'm not sure I have a solution for you.
