Can optionalelse be used on Custom Elements?

Yep - only on content pages, not indexes though.

So I'd use it in this form?

(optionalelse|template name|custom element name)

If so, it doesn't seem to be working for me at the mo.

That should work. I'll test it out locally to see what could be the issue.

For now, does the following work:

PHP Code:

%% if ($content[elementname]) ** displayTemplate(getTemplate('ContentTemplate')); ** else ** displayTemplate(getTemplate('NoContentTemplate')); ** %% 


Bear in mind that you'd need to remove any spaces from the content element name for this.

Hmm, that worked, so I tried again with optionalelse but flushed the caches and it worked too
