[TYPO3-english] Check if an area doesn't contain elements

[Jeppe Donslund]

Oh, I'm sorry, my mistake.

In TemplaVoila i have made an Element. The editing type is "Content 
Elements". It is this element I would like to check if it contains anything.
If I should use your example I should make it editing type "TypoScript 
Object Path", right?
But if I do that I can't put anything into it on the page and your code 
will always return content_id = 49.

Does it make any sense?
