Articles Field

Check if articlesLinked Field is empty

Husi

CustomField Id 29 is a RegularLabs field type "articleslinked"

At Template-Override I want to check, if this article is linked or not.
For this I use the VALUE like

$this->item->jcfields[29]->value

For checking, if there is a value, in Joomla! 4.x I used

$check 	= $this->item->jcfields[29]->value;
if ($check 	== "") {
	...
}

After updating to Joomla!5.0.0 this doesn´t work anymore.

Doing a

var_dump($this->item->jcfields[29]);

in Joomla4 without a linkedArticle, it was this:

["value"]=> string(0) "" ["rawvalue"]=> string(1) "1" }

in joomla5 it is this:

["value"]=> string(43) " " ["rawvalue"]=> string(1) "1" }

But whatever I try now ... I am not able to check any more with an if

Can you please help me?

Thanks
Carsten
