This light-weight plugin allows you to check if a category has child categories and then use the result in a conditional. You could for example show some content when a category has child categories and some other content when it doesn't.
First, make sure you call the plugin to check if a category has child categories.
You only have to do this once in the template, somewhere at the top for example:
{exp:gwcode_haschildren:check group_id="1" cat_url_title="{segment_3}"}
Then, you can use conditionals like this in your template:
{if gwcode_haschildren}
The currently viewed category has child categories! Show something.
{if:else}
No child categories! Show something else.
{/if}More information can be found here.

Great little add-on. In the past I’ve had to use the query module in a template to achieve this sort of thing. Have always been meaning to create a plugin to do this and share it with the world but I’m positive Leon’s will always be a million times better than mine ;-) Great work again Leon.

Have to say this is a fantastic little add on that solves the problem of only showing child categories of a parent or if not showing something else.. used to great effect on a photography site i did recently.. great support too
