Scenario:
A menu with a "News" link to news.php.
This link is wrapped in some HTML.
What I'd like is: to not print the HTML/News-link if there is are no news-tems or only unpublished news-items.

Any tips ?

If using the official menus, no way without modifiying. If a custom (static) menu try getNumNews(). It uses the class method getArticles/getCombiNews internally so it should not return unpublished items unless - as alway - loggedin with the appropiate rights.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Works great!
if(getNumNews(true) > 0) {....}

I guess, If not you would have had found a bug..;-)

Hi
btw, in zpArdoise, I only use
if (getNumNews() > 0) {...}
