Block if

[ldkemp]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to remove all the "block if" references

Regards Liam

Well only a man 3 hours before death row would consider such a crazy thing, but if you want to get rid of them, just highlight them in the design pane and click delete.

Make sure you snapshot before you do anything though as you can be guaranteed to want them back in very quickly after this escapade.

What exactly are you wanting to achieve? Deleting them all is a mightily brave thing to be doing.

if you want Actinic not to work then go ahead.... but there are other ways of committing professional suicide than this one

Maybe you should rephrase your question to ask what you really want to do

Answering other questions

By remove the "block if" i mean, is there any way to remove these references as they add even more code which isn't needed.

Blocking the code together is a good idea but without giving comment before each block people are going to spend a lot of time opening and closing the "Blocks" to find the code they want to edit, especially with all the new templates that need to be enter.

So is there any way to remove the "Block if" from every template in one go or is this something I will need to live with.

Yes - but deleting all the Block if's will give you a bigger surprise of killing your site. No questions.

If there is something that is adding additional code you don't need then best to delete on an item by item basis and not a global deletion (you could try a find in code search and replace with a space if you really want to go that route)

The block ifs do not work that way - I think you are talking about the way they are collapsing to save space on the screen.

The block ifs are actual test conditions that work along the lines of

block if
does the add to cart button need showing
/block if

if the condition is true then the cart button is shown

Thank you for your help

Sounds a bit like taking your parachute off just before jumping out of the plane!

if you hover over the blockif it tells you the underlying condition

Your code is not bloated online where it counts, the conditions are processed on your desktop before upload.
