I’m trying to get the following code to work but to no avail:

{if article_photo}
         {exp:imgsizer:size src="{article_photo}" width="450" height="300" alt="{title}" base_path="******" class="load" base_cache="******"}{/exp:imgsizer:size}
         <cite>{article_photo_caption} {if article_photo_credits}({article_photo_credits}){/if}</cite>
      {if:elseif article_gallery}
          <div id="slider">
          {article_gallery}
            {exp:imgsizer:size src="{cell_1}" width="450" height="300" alt="{cell_2}" base_path="*******" base_cache="*******"}{/exp:imgsizer:size}      
          {/article_gallery}
           </div>
     {if:elseif article_gallery && article_photo}
           <div id="slider">
          {article_gallery}
            {exp:imgsizer:size src="{cell_1}" width="450" height="300" alt="{cell_2}" base_path="*******" base_cache="*******"}{/exp:imgsizer:size}      
          {/article_gallery}
           </div>
     {if:else}        
      {/if}

Everything works accept the {if:elseif article_gallery && article_photo} part. I’m thinking something might be wrong with my logic but I’m not seeing it. Need a fresh pair of eyes.

Thanks!

I’m not following your logic to be honest or at least not quite sure what it is you are hoping to do though, would this work:

{if article_photo}
    {exp:imgsizer:size src="{article_photo}" width="450" height="300" alt="{title}" base_path="******" class="load" base_cache="******"}{/exp:imgsizer:size}
    <cite>{article_photo_caption} {if article_photo_credits}({article_photo_credits}){/if}</cite>
{if:else} 
    <div id="slider">
        {article_gallery}
            {exp:imgsizer:size src="{cell_1}" width="450" height="300" alt="{cell_2}" base_path="*******" base_cache="*******"}{/exp:imgsizer:size}      
        {/article_gallery}
    </div>            
{/if}

That unfortunately doesn’t work. article_photo (nGEN) and article_gallery (Matrix) are two custom fields. I’m trying to get the condition where when both are true that the gallery of photos shows instead of just the photo.

So when article_photo is true I see just the one photo, when article_gallery is true I see the photo gallery, but when I try the condition where both are true together, I see the just the one photo.

NNWebmaster,

try this

{if article_photo != "" AND article_gallery == ""}
         {exp:imgsizer:size src="{article_photo}" width="450" height="300" alt="{title}" base_path="******" class="load" base_cache="******"}{/exp:imgsizer:size}
         <cite>{article_photo_caption} {if article_photo_credits}({article_photo_credits}){/if}</cite>
 {/if}

{if article_photo == "" AND article_gallery != ""}
          <div id="slider">
          {article_gallery}
            {exp:imgsizer:size src="{cell_1}" width="450" height="300" alt="{cell_2}" base_path="*******" base_cache="*******"}{/exp:imgsizer:size}      
          {/article_gallery}
           </div>
{/if}
{if article_photo != "" AND article_gallery != ""}
           <div id="slider">
          {article_gallery}
            {exp:imgsizer:size src="{cell_1}" width="450" height="300" alt="{cell_2}" base_path="*******" base_cache="*******"}{/exp:imgsizer:size}      
          {/article_gallery}
           </div>      
   {/if}
