filter using {if} statement. depends on the coding, you may want to share us the part that you show image on your site. code on your link_summary.tpl file.

it depends if you are using the image upload module or a WYSIWIG editor to upload pictures. This might work if you're using the image upload module:
link_summary.tpl replace:

 {php}
               // START: Image Upload Module
               check_actions('image_upload_preview', $vars);
               // END: Image Upload Module
               {/php}

with

{if $link_field1 neq ''}
                        
               {php}
               // START: Image Upload Module
               check_actions('image_upload_preview', $vars);
               // END: Image Upload Module
               {/php}
                       
                       
		       {else}
		               
					   <a href = "urlpathtolargepic"><img src="urlpathtothumbnail" /></a>>
					   
					   {/if}

Hi thanks very much for responding .... i tried that code but it didn't seem to work... the pictures wern't showing up at all on the site... I'm using the image uploader... any other suggestions?


My code to show images is the following


{php}
// START: Image Upload Module
check_actions('image_upload_preview', $vars);
// END: Image Upload Module
{/php}

Find this code in your image_upload_main.php

PHP Code:

         if ($main_smarty->get_template_vars(module_imageupload_filename_field) == "")
        {
                $imageFile = module_imageupload_fullsize_prefix.$storyID.".jpg";
        } else {
                $imageFile = $main_smarty->get_template_vars(module_imageupload_filename_field);
        } 


change it to

PHP Code:

        if ($link->link_field1 == "")
        {
                $imageFile = "MyDefaultImage.jpg";
        } else {
                $imageFile = $link->link_field1;
        } 


You should have MyDefaultImage.jpg in your images directory.
