Question

Surprisingly can’t find anything on this… basically I call my custom product attributes on the product view page like this:

Men / Women: <?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getmenwomen()) ?>

This displays the men/women attribute fine, but these are optional values, so if a product doesn’t have a value for this particular attribute, the line is still displayed, just with no value:

Men / Women:

I’d like that line to not show at all if there is indeed, no value for a product. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You have to check if the value of getmenwomen() really contains something you expect it to contain (eg men/women) before printing it. In this example i presume that anything but whitespace is a valid value.

$menwomen = $_product->getmenwomen();
if (trim($menwomen)) {
    echo "Men / Women: ".$this->htmlEscape($menwomen);
}
