Conditional in memberlist_resultsbit

[Bill Thebert]

I've tweaked the member profile template on one of my sites to support LARGE photos (640 pixels) displayed at the center-bottom, below all of the other profile information. My users find these images much more useful than the tiny 100px profile pics supported by vB3.0.1 as a default. And larger images aren't aesthetically pleasing in the default location. So far, so good. This part is working well, as pictured below:



What I want to NOW do is display a small icon on the "Member List" page, if and only if a profile pic is present. (Obviously a 640px image is too large to simply include in a column.)

So, with the background info out of the way, here's the part of the memberlist_resultsbit template code I want to tweak:

Original code:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['profilepiccol'] AND exec_switch_bg()"><td class="$bgclass">$userinfo[profilepic]</td></if> 


Here's my first try at what I think I want instead:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['profilepiccol'] AND exec_switch_bg() AND $userinfo[profilepic]<>NULL"><td class="$bgclass"><img src="/forums/images/misc/pic.gif"></td></if> 


As you can see, I'm attempting to add a third condition (*if* a profile pic is present), and if so, to display a small icon. Otherwise, I'd like to just echo an empty column ("<td></td>").

I'm a rank beginner at this stuff (but I'm trying to learn), and my problems at the moment are two:

1) My third condition isn't working. The icon is appearing in ALL cases, regardless of whether a profile pic is present or not; and

2) I don't know how to put the "else" part in there. The syntax of these conditionals isn't anything like the if/then/else syntax shown in the PHP4 reference book that I have at my disposal.

Can anyone give this rookie some guidance? I think I've explained what I'm trying to achieve here.

Bill
