If that's not the case, are you talking about no image being available like a shop product where the template requires an image for the product. If that's the case, how do you store the image name in the db. If you store the actual image name in the db, then you could do a: [if ("[imagename]"="")] [then][/then] [else][/else] [/if] Or if the imagename is based on an SKU, you could add an extra field like "HAS_IMAGE" then: [if ("[HAS_IMAGE]"="T")] [then][/then] [else][/else] [/if] Regards, Tim > From: "Jesse Crofoot" > Reply-To: (WebDNA Talk) > Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2003 11:33:22 -0600 > To: (WebDNA Talk) > Subject: Re: Replace Missing Images > > Thanks again for the help on this.
