HTML Template perch:before and perch:after
Hi,
I don't seem to be able to stop empty <ul></ul> elements from appearing in the HTML code.
The template I am using is as follows:
<perch:before><ul></perch:before>
<perch:repeater id="outcomes" label="Outcomes">
<li><perch:content id="outcome" type="text" label="Outcome" required="false" title="true" /></li>
</perch:repeater>
<perch:after></ul></perch:after>
If anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate that a lot
Under what circumstances do you get empty tags?
Hi Drew,
I've enabled PERCH_DEVELOPMENT in config.php if that is to stop caching but as to your question, I've checked the rest of the template for any duplicate ID's and I tried putting the before/after tags with the unordered list in between the repeater tags but to no avail.
I am wondering if there can only be one set of before/after tags in a template and that I must use perch:if instead.
You can have one
perch:beforeandperch:aftertag pair per template, per repeater and per block.Hi Drew,
Please pardon my ignorance here, but what is a "block"?
Are you saying that for a template if there is before/after tags, say at the top and the bottom of the page (template) that I can still have them inside repeaters?
Thanks again
Yes, templates, repeaters and blocks all have their own before and after sections.
Blocks are documented here: https://docs.grabaperch.com/docs/templates/blocks/
