Showing backup images when none are available for a given channel entry

Hello, long time noobie, first time poster,

I am trying to create a conditional statement based on the following code:
```
{exp:channel:entries channel="galleries" url_title="{embed:product_id}"}
<div class="products_view_image">
    {gallery}
    <a href="http://{path=%27galleries/view/{url_title}/{row_id}}" rel="cb" title="{image_title}">_        {exp:ed_imageresizer image="{image}" maxWidth="100" maxHeight="100" alt="{image_title}"}_    </a>
    {/gallery}
</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}
```
I would like to display a default image in case there are not any specified for the given product id. It’s probably a simple answer, but struggling to find anything in the forum or documentation.

Many thanks.

Hi Greebo

You can use the {if no_results} tag to render something else if no entries are present for a given entries tag.
See here: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/channel/conditional_variables.html#cond_if_no_results

or, another approach is to check to see if a specific Field within an Entry has been used:
```
{if gallery != ""}
<a href="http://{path=%27galleries/view/{url_title}/{row_id}}" rel="cb" title="{image_title}">_        {exp:ed_imageresizer image="{image}" maxWidth="100" maxHeight="100" alt="{image_title}"}_</a>
{/if}
```
...at the top of this page of the documentation…

Hi greebo,

Welcome to forums 😊

To further expand on Matt’s example

{exp:channel:entries channel="galleries" url_title="{embed:product_id}"}
<div class="products_view_image">
{if gallery != ""}
{gallery}
    <a href="http://{path=%27galleries/view/{url_title}/{row_id}}" rel="cb" title="{image_title}">_        {exp:ed_imageresizer image="{image}" maxWidth="100" maxHeight="100" alt="{image_title}"}_    </a>
    {/gallery}
{if:else}
/images/default-image.jpg
{/if}  
    
</div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Let us know if that helps
