Template Syntax Questions

[James]

I assume Kier/Mike have a reasoning for this:

<xen:if hascontent="true">
    <div class="section staffOnline avatarList">
        <div class="secondaryContent">
            <h3>Staff Online Now</h3>
            <ul>
                <xen:contentcheck>
                    <xen:foreach loop="$onlineUsers.records" value="$user">
                        <xen:if is="{$user.is_moderator} OR {$user.is_admin}">
                            <li>
                                <xen:avatar user="$user" size="s" img="true" />
                                <a href="{xen:link members, $user}" class="username">{$user.username}</a>
                                <div class="muted">{xen:helper userTitle, $user}</div>
                            </li>
                        </xen:if>
                    </xen:foreach>
                </xen:contentcheck>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</xen:if>

I'm just wondering why the 'is' is used here:

<xen:if is="{$user.is_moderator} OR {$user.is_admin}">

I don't think it does.

It does disappear when there's no staff online... interesting!
