checking for file existance in a template

[jim6763nva]

Can this be done? I'm putting images in front of my forum topics and I was wonder if there was a template conditional to check for the existance of a file? My images are named according to forum ID and for any given forum id I wanted to check if it was on the server before rendering a piece of html code.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

It is possible to do in a plugin, but not in a template (not without another plugin).
