Maybe is_valid could work?

Thanks for suggestion, I tried:
{section show=$:item.object.data_map.title.is_valid}

and
{section show=$:item.object.data_map.title.content.is_valid}

but it goes to {section-else} 100% of the time.

Any other suggestions :) ?

How about setting up the title as name pattern for the article that has a title? Then you could print 

$:item.name

on both classes.

That sounds like a great idea!, but I don't know how to create a "name pattern". Would you have any more information?

Thanks again :)

Edit your class, you'll probably see it right away, right at the top, along with class name and identifier :)

Hi, found the name pattern. I also search for help using this attribute, not much luck with examples.

I currently have article class (default) with
Object name pattern: <short_title|title>

Do you have any suggestion how I add "name" in here? My intuition says something like <short_title|title|name=title>...

Would you have a link to documentation regarding "object name pattern" and/or "is_empty/is_valid" attributes?

Thanks

Thanks and thanks

The $:item.name is set by the object name pattern. So if you set your name pattern to <title>, accessing $:item.name will output the same as $:item.object.data_map.title.

Regarding is_valid/is_empty, I'd recommend a search through the docs/forum here on ez.no, and a grep through the standard templates for examples.

Hi

Try to use the "has_content" instead (http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/download/changelogs/ez_publish_3_4/datatype_changes )

That doesn't seem to be the best way..
If you edit the object any remove attribute,
.has_content still keeps true.

--> has_content boolean true

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards

You could also try:

is_set($:item.object.data_map.title)
