Empty field in one language displays default language

[joe_ma]

Hello

I am working on a multi-language site, where I have news articles that have fields for lead and body.

Now, when the lead field of one language is empty, the template takes the text from the default language.

I should rather like the template to display nothing at all.

My code:

		foreach ($news as $n) {
			
		if ($n->lead) {
		echo "<p><strong>{$n->lead}</strong></p>";}
		echo "{$n->body}";
		
		
		}

Obviously the if statement is not looking in the active language only. So how do I tell it to do so?

You could use strlen() I think

Hi!

In field settings there's a setting called "Language support / Blank behavior". Set it to "Remain blank".

Oh, as simple as that

Thanks Fokke.

There is always a surprisingly easy way with PW. Great!
