In my templete i have the following code:

{if image}{image}{/if}

Its works on all templates, except one :-(

In that template it only doesn’t work in a certain spot.

The error is that: if the image doesn’t exists, the whole
template stops from rendering, no errors what so ever.

Hiya,

As you haven’t mentioned what you have exactly on the template where this doesn’t work then without some code example then this might be hard to fathom.

Saying that however you should really be doing this instead :

{if image !=""}
{image}
{/if}

This is the more widely documented method for testing to see if a field has any content or not.

Perhaps try changing the conditional to that first and see if it clears up the problem. I’m guessing however that it may not but we would need to see what code you are using on the page where it doesn’t work to be able to help any more. At a guess though you may have nested tags and something is a little funny somewhere.

Hope that helps a bit though.

Best wishes,

Mark

spingh, how does the template that works differ from the one that doesn’t?

Which version and build of ExpressionEngine are you using? You can find that out at the bottom of any control panel page.

<h2 class="hl"><a href="http://{title_permalink={embed:my_template_group}/index}">{title}</a></h2>

{if image !=""}{image}{/if}

{if youtube !=""}

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:600px; height:337px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{youtube}">

</object>
{if:elseif videocode !=""}{videocode}{/if}
<b>{summary}</b>

{body}

The only spot where “{if image !=""}{image}{/if}” works
is after the “{videocode}{/if}”.

EE Version 2.1.1 (20081028)

The only difference is the video/youtube code

if i replace:

{if image !=""}{image}{/if}

with

{if image !=""}test{if:else}test2{/if}

The page renders fine, remember, there is NO image

The field called image, what is default formatting of the file set to?

If you remove the if test, and just put in {image}—what shows?

The field is: File, by Mark Huot (v.3.1.1) set to images only

{if image !=""}test{if:else}test2{/if}

works

{if image !=""}{image}{if:else}{/if}

doesn’t work

{if image !=""}{image}{if:else}test2{/if}

doesn’t work

Remember, after the “video” code stuff, it does work.

<b>{summary}</b>
{if youtube !=""}

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:600px; height:337px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{youtube}">

</object>
{if:elseif videocode !=""}{videocode}{/if}{image}

Works

{image}<b>{summary}</b>
{if youtube !=""}

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:600px; height:337px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{youtube}">

</object>
{if:elseif videocode !=""}{videocode}{/if}

Doesn’t work

I’m not sure what all that extension is doing (and the vid one may be interacting as well).  If you try disabling all extensions via ‘Admin- Utilities- Extension Manager’- big green button on the top right- what happens?  Still an error?  (Or rather, a white screen.)

Also- the white screen suggests a php error.  Make certain you have php errors showing to superadmin in ‘Admin- System Prefs- Output and debug’ and make sure you are logged in on the frontend when viewing.  An error would give us a hint.

No error when i disable the file-extension, but i kinda expected that.

Its not a white screen, just the main content doesn’t render:
So its only part of the included template that stops rendering without php error’s, mysql en template log show nothing different.

header
main (blank)
footer

Guess this post must be moved to the extension forum?

It definitely looks like an issue with the “File” extension, yes. We don’t have to move the whole thread, though, perhaps it’d be easier to simply start a new thread there.
