Django CMS - check if placeholder is empty

Question

I use:

• DjangoCMS 2.4
• Django 1.5.1
• Python 2.7.3

I would like to check if my placeholder is empty.

    {         


        
      

Answer 1

If you want additional content to be displayed in case the placeholder is empty, use the or argument and an additional {% endplaceholder %} closing tag. Everything between {% placeholder "..." or %} and {% endplaceholder %} is rendered in the event that the placeholder has no plugins or the plugins do not generate any output.

Example:

{% placeholder "content" or %}

There is no content.

{% endplaceholder %}
