Re: No Images in a Category
Sorry for taking so long but I had a slight problem which required the purchase of a new PC. :(
Anyway, the reason I asked is because if it is only used for that purpose, as you say, I presume that if an artist has no images then you can leave the field blank. If that is the case then there is an attribute for txp:custom_field called “default” which allows you to output a message if the field is empty. Does that help at all?

Jeez, Stuart, how do you know these things? You must have memorized TextBook ;)
But seriously, thanks for the tip, I hadn’t found that one yet.

Ha haa. No. I haven’t memorized it yet Els. Still working on that. :)
Actually, the reason I know about this one is that I have recently worked on 2 new sites that make extensive use of custom fields and it’s a handy way of outputting an “error message” if a custom field that needs to be filled in hasn’t been. Particularly useful for clients new to TXP. Eventually they get used to the idea that a particular custom field needs to be filled in or the site won’t work the way it is meant to. :)
