I am currently in the process of creating a physician directory for a larger health system site that is in redevelopment here at Pleth, LLC. As I was going through the motions of coding templates for my Ditto output I realized that with such a large number of fields per page my layout was beginning to suffer as fields were being left blank by the end user. I came across this PHx solution in the MODx forum and wanted to share it since it is a simple solution to an otherwise frustrating problem.
The basic structure I started with:
A Variable: [+avariable+]<br />
The new structure (uses backticks):
[+avariable:isnot=``:then='A Variable: [+avariable+]<br />`+]
