Here is the code I use to count modules in joomla, to see if it’s available or not.

<?php if ($this->countModules( 'right' )) : ?>

Now I want the contrary of this, like, when the module is not set..

Should I use something like:

<?php if (!$this->countModules( 'right' )) : ?>

I mean, what should I use in order to achieve it? I suppose, well not suppose but the way I wrote is for sure wrong.

 <?php if ($this->countModules( 'right' )) : ?>

checks for true

and its opposite is this

<?php if (!$this->countModules( 'right' )) : ?>

it checks for false
