Hi -
Is there a built-in CMS Builder way to automatically not show fields with no content in them, or do we need to do this ourselves with PHP? Can't see any option that says 'miss this line out if there's nothing in it' or something similar...'.

Hi steve_e,
You'll need to do this in PHP, but it's really quite easy. Simply replace this:
with this:
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Chris -
I just had a page with a whole bunch of possibly empty fields and the code was starting to look a little ragged with all the if statements, so I was wondering if I'd missed something in CMS B.
Might this be a good thing to include as a field option in a future release?

Hi steve_e,
It does seem that a lot of people want their Code Generated pages to work like this out-of-the-box. I'll make sure our feature request list reflects that. Thanks for the feedback. :)
