Conditional Code in Master file - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

Hi,

Is it possible to write conditional code in Sitefinity Master pages?.. so if no widgets are used for a placeholder, the markups for the empty placeholder does not show on the website.

For emaxple, I have this code for my sidebar in my Master file:

<div class="Sidebar">

<asp:contentplaceholder id="Sidebar" runat="server" />

</div>

and this creates a div box in my wesbite (and I have some borders via CSS for this box). Is it possible to include some conditional code to this so if a widget is dragged into this placeholder, it shows the div box on the website and if no widget is used, it doesn't show the div box.

Thanks,
Marz

Hello Marz,

You can check if the div contains any html with a JQuery script on the master page. Something similar to this should do the job:

$(document).ready(function()

if ($(".Sidebar").html().length > 0)

$(".Sidebar").show();

);

Take a look at the following forum thread for further reference:
