On a list of movies, I want to display their name as <originaltitle>, unless <title> is present, in which case it should display <title> instead. How do I do that?

xml:
                            <control type="label">

                                <aligny>center</aligny>

                                <left>250</left>

                                <width>580</width>

                                <font>Bold42</font>

                                <textcolor>FFFFFFFF</textcolor>

                                <selectedcolor>FFFFFFFF</selectedcolor>

                                <label>$INFO[ListItem.OriginalTitle]</label>

                                <textwidth>580</textwidth>

                                <scroll>false</scroll>

                            </control>

Is what I have, halfway there. It displays all the names as <originaltitle>, but those that only have a <title> return nothing, obviously.

Using a variable replace <label>$INFO[ListItem.OriginalTitle]</label> with <label>$VAR[Title]</label> and then add this to your includes.xml.

xml:
<variable name="Title">

    <value condition="!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.OriginalTitle)">$INFO[ListItem.OriginalTitle]</value>

    <value>$INFO[ListItem.Title]</value>

</variable>

Perfect! Thank you so much.
