Swap for generic image if no upload

Hi all,

I thought that this one would be simple but I’m stuck again...

I’ve set up a listing page for a series of publicity articles.

http://janstein.com/publicity2.php

In the code below, if the publicity article is only an external link, then that article’s listing is formatted as a link. If the article’s contents is stored in the record, then that article’s listing links to the detail page for that record. So far this works fine.

The listings also show a thumbnail if a listing_page_image is uploaded for that record.

I’m trying to get a generic image to show if there’s no listing_page_image uploaded (as in article 2 on the sample page).

No matter what I’ve tried, this part won’t work. No errors, but the generic image doesn’t even show in the page’s source code.

Anybody see what I’ve missed?

Thanks

Jerry Kornbluth

It seems the learning curve is filled with hairpin turns...

After beating on it with my big programming hammer for a while based on your direction, It's now working fine.

Thanks Dave for all your help
