Category Conditional Token?

[Scott Poliseno]

Is there a conditional token to display only if the category has products?

Thanks,

Scott

There isnt a real easy way to do this.

You'd likely have to use the Category_Product_FindNext_Assigned (PARAMETERS = "cat_id, offset, search" ) function, passing the category id (after doing a Category_Find_Code to return Categories.d.id), to set up a conditional based on a "0" return value...meaning there is no next assigned product.

Thanks Vic... Does Vic ever sleep.. . I think you must have written a robot to answer all of these questions for you... :)

Yeah... I think the easiest thing here is to asign different category templates through Viking Module... Then it will display how I want...

Thanks Vic!

You don't have to. There are tokens for the template modules to display content ONLY if the category has products assigned, and vice versa. Checkout the file here:
