Page list Custom template - test if there are blocks in area/layouts

Permalink
Hi gang,

I am trying to create a custom template for the page list block but I am stuck on how I can access both areas and area-layouts for the list of pages inside view.php.

I get an error Call to undefined method Concrete\Core\Area\Area::getAreaLayouts() 

<?php foreach ($pages as $page):
// Either of the two ways below fail
   $area = new Area('Main');
   $layouts = $area->getAreaLayouts($page);
// Method 2
   $alayouts = $page->getArea('Main')->getAreaLayouts($page);
?>


Using Concrete5 5.7.5.6

Hi everyone,

With the recent updates to 5.7 is there an elegant solution to test if there are any blocks in an area or within area layouts.

I require this to conditionally include or exclude markup thus avoiding unwanted div's and empty markup in the generated html.
