Question

I'm try to create a master document that will include other sub documents if they exists, or have a button to create them if they don't.

(I'm doing this because I can't create the whole trree of documents in one go.)

The point I started off from was based on PeterThoeny's answer to LynnwoodBrown's question at ConditionalDisplayInTemplate

%CALC{"$IF($EXISTS(%TOPIC%Consequences),$NOP(%)INCLUDE{%TOPIC%Consequences}$NOP(%),$NOP(%)TOPIC$NOP(%)Consequences does not exist)"}%

Which doesn't seem to work as I expect. It says the topic dons't exist but it does. Am I short a few NOP's? Support/ConditionalDisplayInTemplate The next jump would be to a form with a button that created the relevant topic:

%CALC{"$IF($EXISTS(%TOPIC%Consequences),$NOP(%)INCLUDE{%TOPIC%Consequences}$NOP(%), <div style='float:right'> <form name='new' action='$NOP(%)SCRIPTURL$NOP(%)/edit$NOP(%)SCRIPTSUFFIX$NOP(%)/$NOP(%)WEB$NOP(%)/> <table> <tr> <td align='right'> <INPUT type='submit' value='Create Consequences'> <INPUT type='hidden' name='TopicType' value='Consequences'> <INPUT type='hidden' name='templatetopic' value='ConsequencesTemplate'> <INPUT type='hidden' name='parent' value='$NOP(%)TOPIC$NOP(%)'> </td> </tr> </table> <form> </div>)"}%

However this produces a file called > <td...
