   If "optional excerpt" has typed something, show the_excerpt. (don't show the_content()), otherwise show the_content();

   Is that doable?

   <?php
   if( $post->post_excerpt ) {
       the_excerpt();
   } else {
       the_content();
   }
   ?>

   Thanks Kafkaesqui ... that helped me with another issue. I wanted to use the permalink only if a post actually contained content ... otherwise just write the title.
   

   <ul>
   <?php global $post;
   $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=20&'."category=$category->id");
   foreach($myposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post);
   	if( $post->post_content ) { ?>
   		<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> <span class="datetime">(<?php the_time('j. F Y'); ?>)</span></li>
   	<?php } else { ?>
   		<li><?php the_title(); ?> <span class="datetime">(<?php the_time('j. F Y'); ?>)</span></li>
   	<?php } ?>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   </ul>

   I'm posting it here just in case someone else is looking for something similar.
