I'm working with CCK and Contemplate modules. Basically, I don't want any of the field data displaying if it's corresponding form has no values entered. Here's what I've tried so far:

<?php if ($field_author) : ?>
  <p class="item"><b>Author:</b>
    <?php foreach ((array)$field_author as $item) { ?>
      <?php print $item['view']  ?>
    <?php } ?>
  </p>
<?php endif;?>

Just to clarify, I don't want to <b>Author:</b> displayed if there's no data entered in the $field_author field.

Thanks!

Perhaps try checking if your $field_author has any data with the count function.

if (count($field_author) > 0)

Tried it, but the field is still showing up. Perhaps I inserted your code wrong? Take a look:

<?php if (count($field_author) > 0) : ?>
  <p class="item"><b>Author:</b>
    <?php foreach ((array)$field_author as $item) { ?>
      <?php print $item['view']  ?>
    <?php } ?>
  </p>
<?php endif;?>

If $field_author is an object, perhaps you have to cast it to an array first like you do in the foreach statement before you run count.
