Why does this code produce a blank screen?

{if segment_3 == "media-coverage")
{embed="events/_media_coverage"}
{if:else}
{embed="events/_main_page"}
{/if}

ExpressionEngine 1.6.6/Build: 20081212

The template works fine without the conditional logic, and the templates I’m trying to embed work if I embed them on their own.

Try to reduce the complexity of your code so we see where it breaks, exactly. Don’t use an emebed but simple text markers. You can also try simple conditionals as opposed to advanced ones. Have you turned on error reporting?

In closing, I recommend to upgrade to the current version of EE 1.6.7. It’s a security update.

Is that code above exactly as you have it in your template? If so then you have an error on line 1 at the very end.

You have a normal bracket instead of a curly bracket. Code should be this :

{if segment_3 == "media-coverage"}
{embed="events/_media_coverage"}
{if:else}
{embed="events/_main_page"}
{/if}

Should work with the above code.

Hope that helps a bit.
