IF CONDITION problem

I have 2 folders for images. The 1st folder is for admin upload. And 2nd folder is for users. I would like to make a condition for first check the 1st folder, if not available then check 2nd folder and if not available there too then display the noimage file.

Something like this :

Code:

<if condition="image_ID.jpg">

<img src="1stfolder/image_ID.jpg">

<else />

<img src="2ndfolder/image_ID.jpg">

<else />

<img src="noimage.jpg">

</if>

But i couldn't make it work.

Any idea about how to do that ?

Thanks in advance...

I don't think there's any way to do that in a template conditional. You'd have to use code in a plugin, or maybe there's some way to insert javascript to make the browser load alternate images if one's not available.

thank you kh99.

actually what i wrote above was just an example. the thing i would like to do is little bit different. but main idea is like above mentioned example.

let me be more clear with what i would like to do.

Code:

<if condition="$castinfo[photo] != ''">

<a href='info/person.php?id=$castinfo[id]'><img src="./cache/person/$castinfo[id].jpg" alt="$castinfo[name]" /></a>

<else />

<a href=''info/person.php?id=$castinfo[id]'><img src="./cache/person/noimage.jpg" alt="$castinfo[name]" /></a></if>

as you can see through example, its first checking if there is any image for the person or not. if image/photo is available, then its showing it. if not, then it displays the "noimage.jpg" file.

but since i do not want to display "noimage.jpg" on pages that much, i upload the pictures myself. and due to script do the logging, it's not working if i upload the picture to the "person" folder (thats where the files are stored).

so i've created a "custom" folder under "person" folder. before displaying the "noimage.jpg" file if file do not exists, i would like to make it check the "person/custom" folder too...

thanks again kh99.

let me see if i will find a solution or not...

oops (admin, you can remove this maybe?)

Code:

    $postbit_movieinfo_cast = '';

    

    $i = 1;

    

    foreach ($movieinfo['cast'] AS $castinfo)

    {

        $filename = './cache/person/' . $castinfo['id'] . '.jpg';

        

        if ($castinfo['photo'] AND $castinfo['id'] AND !file_exists($filename))

        {

            require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_image.php');

            

            $content = file_get_contents($castinfo['photo']);

            

            $handler = @fopen($filename, 'w');

            @fwrite($handler, $content);

            @fclose($handler);

            

            $thmbnail_class = vB_Image::fetch_library($vbulletin);

            

            $thumbnail = $thmbnail_class->fetch_thumbnail($castinfo['id'] . '.jpg', $filename, 100, 140);

            

            unlink($filename);

            

            $filename = './cache/cast/' . $castinfo['id'] . '.jpg';

            

            $handler = @fopen($filename, 'w');

            @fwrite($handler, $thumbnail['filedata']);

            @fclose($handler);

        }

Above is the code in appropriate hook for the plugin... And frankly speaking i still couldn't solve it...

But i did something much easier. (maybe we can not call it a solution)

Instead of noimage.jpg file, i forced <else /> condition to show the image in "person/custom" folder... If there is no image in that folder too, its not showing anything. So when i see that kind of empty columns (no picture in the table), i upload the image manually. And its showing...

I know its not a proper way to display the image but since am not a coder, thats the most practical/easiest way for me :)

and once again i would like to thank you for your kind answers and help kh99

OK - sorry I deleted my answer above, I misunderstood and thought you wanted to see if anyone else knew of an answer.

(nvm - that code was wrong...need to understnd it better).

I did your advise but nothing changed... Thank you.

If you would like to see the live example of what i would like to do here it is :

Since the website is still under construction, some posts/threads are still not showing due to the data loss during the database move...

Looks nice.

Sorry, I keep posting before thinking. It would probably be necessary to see more of the code to be able to post a solution.
