removing white space when no attributes assigned

[gjt]

On my product templates a row of white space displays when product attributes are not assigned to a given product. I'd like for that row of white space to not render when a product has no attributes assigned.

The white space renders because the attribute display is nested in HTML tags like so...

<tr><td>
  <mvt:item name="product_attributes" param="product:id" />
</td></tr>

Can you wrap the above code in a conditional so the <tr> and <td> don't display unless attributes are assigned? Something like...

<mvt:if attributes are assigned to this product display the following>
<tr><td>
<mvt:item name="product_attributes" param="product:id" />
</td></tr>
</mvt:if>

What happens if you do something like:

<mvt:if expr="g.Product_Attribute_Count">
<tr><td>
<mvt:item name="product_attributes" param="product:id" />
</td></tr>
</mvt:if>

The attributes don't display at all, even if assigned, though the white space is removed.

This is the sort of thing I was thinking could be done though, thanks Leanne.

Take two. Try this:

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:attr_count GE 1">
<tr><td>
<mvt:item name="product_attributes" param="product:id" />
</td></tr>
</mvt:if>

Re: removing white space when no attributes assigned

The attribute count is not determined until this line of code runs.
<mvt:item name="product_attributes" param="product:id" />

Hence, catch-22. If you have the Emporium Plus Tool Kit there is a function in there that determines if a product has any attributes. You can see how I use it on this page.
http://www.pinemporium.com/mm5/merch...fset=&master=1 If there are attributes, you get a Details link. If not, you can fill in the quantity and do a bulk add from that page.

Then again, maybe Leanne's take two will work. ;-)

It's working in my test store. Guess we'll see!

Leanne, that works perfectly. Thanks again to you and Bill!
