 * Hi,
 * I want to check if a variable is null or not. Eg: if variable {date} is not null,
   I want to display date. Both ifNotEmptyAddLeft and ifNotEmptyAddRight doesnt 
   work as there should be a text next to the variable.
 * I want to show just the variable{date}, no text should be before or after it.
 * Can you please help?

 * Hi,
 * I’m not sure what is your challenge.
    If {..} is empty, nothing is displayed.
 * Try this:
    [jsoncontentimporter url=http://wptest.kux.de/extra/celin007.php] 
   date1: {date1} – {date1:ifNotEmptyAddRight:extratext1}<br> date2: {date2} – {
   date2:ifNotEmptyAddRight:extratext2}<br> date3: {date3} – {date3:ifNotEmptyAddRight:
   extratext3}<br> date4: {date4} – {date4:ifNotEmptyAddRight:extratext4}<br> [/
   jsoncontentimporter]

 * Hi Bernhard,
 * Thanks for the quick response.
 * Imagine the variable date has value 2/3/2020
    The variable {date} will have value
   for a time period (for example from 1/3/2020 to 20/3/2020). All other times the
   value will be null.
 * Input – {date:ifNotEmptyAddRight} **output **is empty
    Input – {date:ifNotEmptyAddRight:{
   date}} **output **shows 2/3/2020 2/3/2020 (displays twice)
 * I want to display just the date not any text in front or after it.
 * Is it possible to display just the date if not null?
 * Thanks for all your help.
 * Kind Regards
    Celin

 * Hi Celin,
 * why is just using {date} not enough?
