Hello,

I want to display images inside a div tag. I want to check if there is a image assigned to a weblog field and if not to display a default image.

I’ve written this code but it doesn’t work. If there is a image assigned it displays it but it doesn’t display the default image. The path to the image is correct.

<div id="left_clmn">

  
  {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{embed:currentweblog}"}

       {if left_image}

           {left_image}

       {if:elseif left_image == ""}

            <img src="{site_url}images/interface/synthesi.jpg" alt="">

       {/if}

  {/exp:weblog:entries}
    

</div>

Thank you in advance

{if:elseif left_image == ""}
with
{if:else}

If I’m seeing correctly you are saying that the code works if there is an image but not if there isn’t, right?

In that case I’m pretty sure I can see what your problem is wink, hopefully! grin

You have this code here :

<div id="left_clmn">

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{embed:currentweblog}"}
{if left_image}
{left_image}
{if:elseif left_image == ""}
<img src="{site_url}images/interface/synthesi.jpg" alt="">
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

</div>

What you actually need is this :

<div id="left_clmn">

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{embed:currentweblog}"}
{if left_image != ""}
{left_image}
{if:else}
<img src="{site_url}images/interface/synthesi.jpg" alt="">
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

</div>

Give that a try and see if it works, should do hopefully?

Best wishes,

Mark

Thanks Mark it worked! The !=”” did the trick. I suppose the shorthand way it doesn’t work.

Not with advanced conditionals, no.

As Ingmar said no they won’t work like that in this case. More information on Conditional variables and usage here if you’d like a light read wink.

Glad it worked for you though grin

Best wishes,

Mark
