Browsing a DB and displaying images

[Futurama56]

I can browse my database and view images online using the [FMP-Image:Picture] tag, but the problem is not all of the records have pictures. When they dont have pictures i get nothing but a space where the pic is suppost to be and an x on top, ie picture not found. This is understandable but I would like a way to put a generic image that says something like "No Picture" rather than having this nasty looking box with an x on top of it. Any ideas?

You can use IF and check for field if is empty or not.

Much faster is to server pictures *not* from FM but from picture directory by normal web server.

Can I convert all my pics that are already in FM to a picture directory, and then link them? this sounds kind of complicated I know. And can I have ure aim name so I talk to u when I have problems? mine is gotroot382

Look in the Sample Files forum for the example of images on the web.

something like this to represent image "existance" with a little icons and then link the "Results" to the Deatils.html where you could have the actual image along with the rest of the info:

----------------------

[FMP-record]

[FMP-If: image_field.eq.]

<img src="/images/imageNO.gif" width="18" height="18" border="0">

[FMP-Else]

<img src="/images/imageOK.gif" width="18" height="18" border="0">

[/FMP-If]

<a href="[FMP-LinkRecID: format=Details.html, layout=WEB]">

[FMP-field: Some_record_field]

</a>

[/FMP-record]

--------------------

this way I get the results and know that record has an image or not but you do not have to load all the images (of various sizes) to get your resluts to show not create the "thumbs" of them.....it also speeds up the load of "Results.html" page!

All the best!
