Not sure if this is the same with version 5, but in version 4.50 I'm using templates for product display and basically on the second page (tmp_product.html) I want it to show the line "Additional Info" for that field ONLY if there is additional info to display. I'm not a coder, but presume its a case of:

If [extendeddesc] = 0 then display nothing
If [extendeddesc] = something then display "Additional info:[extendeddesc]

Whats the code for that and where would I put it given I'm using temp_product.html as the template for that page.

I don't think you can use vbscript inside the actual html templates. I think you can only use html and template-fields (and javascript).

But, something that will work that's part of the vpasp template-field processing is you can add a $ to the front of the line.

Adding a $ to the very front of the physical html line which has the field in it will automatically only show the rest of the html in that line if the value in the template field is not blank.

so, if you put:

$Additional info:[extendeddesc]


in your template html then that'll do what you want.

In this instance, the $ isn't shown in the final html; it's just an internal character that the template processing uses to see if this logic should be applied.

you can also put tags and stuff in there and the same logic will apply, eg:

$<br>Additional info:[extendeddesc]

or

$Additional info:[extendeddesc]<br>

or

$<tr><td>Additional info:</td><td>[extendeddesc]</td></tr>
