Add tag txp:if_article_image
There are a lot of core tags if_article_something but very important if_article_image is absent. It makes to use different way to achieve such logic…

Although I also think it should be a built-in tag, in the meanwhile, you can find it on upm_image plugin.

chh_if_data should do what you need

Re: Add tag txp:if_article_image
yep. Forgot about using chh_if_data for this.
That’s probably the cleanest solution, as it it can be used in a variety of other ways too.

Or if you already have it loaded on your site for other things, there’s:
<txp:smd_if field="article_image" operator="isused">
// Yay, there's an article image
</txp:smd_if>:-)

Take home message:
There’s a bunch of ways to do this already – probably no need to add to the core.

Bloke, nice – I never knew about that.

Re: Add tag txp:if_article_image
What about the ‘native’ way? – well, almost… ;)
<txp:variable name="article_img" value='<txp:article_image />' />
<txp:if_variable name="article_img" value="">
// No article image
<txp:else />
// Yay, there's an article image
</txp:if_variable>Offline
Re: Add tag txp:if_article_image
I even didn’t think that community will found so many variants. But I know how to make such conditional check, or with the help of smd_if, or with the help of txp:variable. But I think, this tag should be in the core. I think it’s rather important tag. For me it’s even more important than txp:if_keywords :)

Victor,
I suspect there would be resistance to adding it to the core – since there are so many other ways to achieve the exact same thing with plugins.
Especially if the example Els posted above works…then you really already have the functionality built-in (it’s just not a single tag).
Any ‘ole how…this has been interesting…I definitely learned a few ways to approach this.

Re: Add tag txp:if_article_image
Okay, okay. But i worry about more newbies than me. Thay could be confused by absent of if_article_image ‘cos it’s quite a logic and “simple” tag to be “built-in” without using rather long-codes of txp:variables and others ways.
Just worry about newbies :)
