conditional test of the post content in my custom field

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I am having an issue trying to output a phrase instead of empty content when the body (content) of my custom post is empty.

Solution:

To check whether the content is empty and output the desired phrase, refer to the following documentation:

Tell us what you are trying to do?
Trying to output a phrase instead of empty content when the body (content) of my custom post is empty

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Just trying to use the wpv-conditional in legacy views:

Here is what I am trying and it is displaying nothing:

 [wpv-conditional if="([wpv-post-body view_template="None"] ne '')"]
     [wpv-post-body view_template="None"][/wpv-conditional]
       [wpv-conditional if="([wpv-post-body view_template="None"] = '')"]
      No abstract available but the full text is online at the title link below.[/wpv-conditional]

The shortcode:

[wpv-post-body view_template="None"]

on its own seems to work fine and displays the content ok. Just want to output the phrase "No abstract available but the full text is online at the title link below." when the body is empty.
