why not use Textpattern’s original tag ‘if_custom’..., ?
Actually,
mdn_if_custompredates the built-inif_customtag. There had been no custom-related conditions.. there had not even been a tag to display custom fields.Now, of course there are. Sweet progress.
I still have
mdn_if_custominstalled on all my Textpattern sites. It works as beautifully as it always did, and I can nest in and and out of the ‘new’ built-inif_customtags. The nesting is really useful.Subscribe to this article's comments RSS feed. [ ? ] View Recent Comments across the site.
