Re: [mv] Image if "really" exists

******    message to minivend-users from Victor Nolton <ven@pragakhan.com>     ******

I use..

[if file /usr/home/winter/webpage/images/products/[item-field pictureone]]
<img src="products/[item-field pictureone]" border=0 alt="Image - [item-code]">
[else]
<img src="missingimage.gif" border=0 width=240 height=60 alt"Image Missing">
[/else][/if]

  this customer puts his own images in and of course has multiple pictures.
