I'm trying to have a container field display it's self if there is an image file stored in it or if there isn't

Tried this:

[FMP-if: Child_Photo .ncn.] [/FMP-if]

Didn't work Can someone help? Thanks !!

P.s. "Child_Photo" is the name of the container field.

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't that what a container field is suppose to do by default? If there is content inserted into the container, it'll show what it is (like a picture in this case).

Is there something you wanted to 'show' if the container is empty? If so, then -

If [ isEmpty(Child_Photo) ]

Display some text in a text field like "No Picture Available"

EndIf

My approach was to create a calculated field, cn_photo_exists_fl, which is defined as:

If(IsEmpty(ec_photo_container), 0, 1)

Then in the CDML, I can test on the flag field, like so:

[FMP-If: cn_photo_exists_fl .eq. 1] 

    (HTML and CDML code to display image)

[/FMP-If]

Works well for me, though if you have a lot of container fields, you need a corresponding lot of calculated fields...
