Code: Select all

    </cms:fieldset>
    </cms:if>
    </cms:pages>
    </div>

I've been trying to hide the whole fieldset if there is not value in the reapetable desc_item... This code works but fieldset still shows even when the desc_item value is empty in some cloned pages.

products.php has cloned pages. each page has a repeatable field which has desc_heading and desc_item. I dont want to show the fieldset if there is no value added to the input desc_item.

What am I doing wrong here?

At simplest, you are using the same name for variable that holds checkbox options and a variable that flags if desc_item is set. Both different in meaning variables have the same name 'my_buffer' and essentially code rewrites the value of this variable, which is not correct.
Please try following piece, completely replacing posted code.

Code: Select all

<cms:set desc_item_exists = '0' scope='global' />
<cms:capture into='checkbox_values' >
    <cms:show_repeatable 'customize' startcount='0'>
        | <cms:show desc_heading />:&nbsp;
          <cms:show desc_item />
          <cms:if desc_item >
              <cms:set desc_item_exists = '1' scope='global' />
          </cms:if>
    </cms:show_repeatable>
</cms:capture>

<cms:if desc_item_exists >
    <div class="col-md-12 tff-cuzt-col">
        <cms:fieldset label='Customization' class='tff-checkbox'>
             <cms:input type="checkbox" 
                               name="customize_items"
                               label='Select the items you wish'
                               opt_values=checkbox_values />
                               
        </cms:fieldset>
    </div>
</cms:if>    

P.S. I used 'desc_heading' instead of 'desc_headin'. Please make sure you use the correct name of editable field, if I fixed it erroneously.

Thanks a lot @trendoman, this worked, and thanks for the explanation.!
