I'm notreferring to any filenames in a database, per se, because the whole purposeof this technique is to eliminate the need for those filenames to be storedin a database.Instead, I want my users to send a file with the name [username].jpg to thephotos folder. Then when the listfiles context is used with the [showif] asin the example below, it *should* display the proper image for that user.I chose the convention [username].jpg for the names of the image filesbecause everyone has a unique username, and each user can have only oneimage in the photos folder. Therefore, the following should actually resultin displaying exactly one image from the photos folder - the image with thename that begins with that user's username:

[listfiles photos/][showif [filename]=[lookup the username in the users.db].jpg]

[/showif][/listfiles]

I haven't tested it without the [showif] stuff, but I think I found a bugin the showif/hideif stuff yesterday (in another template) so I will try itwithout - to see if that's what's breaking it ... :)Sincerely, Ken GromeWebDNA Solutions Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
