Conditional Template Variable#

Hello-

I have TV that is setup for an image. What I want to do is write a conditional statement that checks to see if an image path is present and if it is it displays the image, but if not it doesn't display anything.

I am not a PHP developer, so I basically made up this code and put it in a snippet called CondImage, although I know it is wrong:




Then I would just call the snippet from within my template. Any help straightening me out would be appreciated.

Thanks

One way I've used is have a TV for your image link say named "ImageLink"
Create your snippet:

Assign the the TV to your template, add the tag [*ImageLink*] wherever you want the image to appear.
Add the call to your new snippet in the template.
If you add a path to an image in the "ImageLink" TV it should appear, if the TV is empty then nothing will.
EDIT - changed to a snippet

Thanks for the help! but, I haven't gotten it to work yet.

I have a TV for the image path called: [*sidebarimage*]

Then I created a snippet and added your code to it called:

then in my template I have something like:



Can you help/explain to me what I did wrong here.

Thanks

Sorry for the confusion the snippet looks for content in the TV.
If you have
in the TV and in the template/page then if there is a path it will display the image.
If not then the <div> would be empty.

Yep, that did it. Thanks a ton

Glad you got it working.
