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

[Loek Hilgersom]

Hi Jeppe,

What you have to do when using TemplaVoila is this:

- edit the DS of your TV template and find the part with the right 'area'. Take 
out the Typoscript part and replace it with this:
<TypoScript><![CDATA[
	10 < lib.field_bottomleft
]]></TypoScript>

(where field_bottomleft is the name that 'area')

- now you can fill this part from your TS templates:

lib.field_bottomleft = COA
lib.field_bottomleft {
   10 = RECORDS
   10 {
     source.current = 1
     tables = tt_content
     stdWrap {
       required = 1
       wrap = <!--TYPO3SEARCH_begin--> | <!--TYPO3SEARCH_end-->
       ifEmpty.cObject < lib.element1
     }
   }
}

That should do it. Of course this opens a whole new world of possibilities.... ;-)
