Thank you, Guillaume - that's perfect. How does .getValue() differ from .display() ? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Guillaume Lerouge Sent: 22 March 2010 4:47 PM To: XWiki Developers Subject: Re: [xwiki-devs] PropertyClass questions Hi Hugh, On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 5:42 PM, Hugh Hulme <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi, me again :)

Firstly, thank you for your help so far - it is hugely appreciated.

On to the question: I searched xwiki.org for PropertyClass and found only release notes. I'm looking for a way to determine if a value has been entered into a text field, so that I can omit the entire section from the sheet if it's empty.

Maybe: #if($doc.getValue('yourproperty') != '') * ${class.get('yourproperty').prettyName}: ${doc.display('yourproperty')} #end Guillaume First I guessed that there would be a length() property on a string, but

was unsuccessful. Then I guessed from the VTL Reference & User Guide that I might be able to use size(), if a string was actually a char[],

but was disappointed. Any clues?

getValue() is the exact content in the database. display() is html formatted or if you are in edit mode it makes an html input form field. Caleb Hugh Hulme wrote:
