Not directly. The
ifconfigmechanism is the only conditional like structure in the Layout Update XML system that ships with Magento.If you’re comfortable creating modules and custom blocks class though, you can achieve the results you want pretty easily.
Create a custom Block class that extends whatever block you’re interested in conditionally adding.
Create a new
_toHtmlmethod in your class with the conditional logic you want. If the tests pass have your methodreturn parent::_toHtml, otherwise have it return an empty string.
