I'm trying to display a matrix field ONLY if it has data entered into it.

I've tried this by wrapping it in this conditional...

{if mymatrix:total_rows > 0}
  {mymatrix}
    data here
  {/mymatrix}
{/if}

But nothing is getting outputted. If I remove the conditional, the matrix is outputted fine. Any ideas? (I'm up to date with EE 2.9.2 & Matrix version 2.6.1)

    I've been having some issues with conditionals lately. Does this work? {if "{mymatrix:total_rows}" > 0}

If you're having trouble with tags not working correctly in conditional statements try wrapping the them in double or single quotation marks.

{if "{mymatrix:total_rows}" > 0}{!-- Here --}
  {mymatrix}
    data here
  {/mymatrix}
{/if}

Thanks :)

I had the same issue. This should work for you (it did for me).

{if {mymatrix:total_rows} > 0 }
{mymatrix}
data here
{/mymatrix}
{/if}

Does the template work without the {if} statements? You may also try wrapping the zero in a single quote ( '0' ).

  • Didn't work for me. I get a "This URL cannot be processed" when I tried this.

  • Yes the templates work without the conditionals. The suggestion from Kieran seemed to work fine. Thanks!
