Display image if field is not empty

Good morning!

I'm new to FlexiContent and I'm finding it's an absolute great component.

I'm developing a template, and I would like to now if there is a way to find out if a field is empty. something like:

Can anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance

Hello

In short use:

// Item view (item layout)
$fvals = $item->fieldvalues[$field_id];

// in category view you may need to use $items[$i]->
$fvals = $items[$i]->fieldvalues[$field_id];


if ( !empty($fvals) ) ...


NOTE: our image/ image gallery field has a parameter for default image

---

In more details
the variable
...->display

exists only if you try to create the display HTML of the field, in your case it would be better to check the war field value which:
- is always available for checking
- is a lot faster that created field's HTML via ... putting in a template position or via ... getFieldDisplay()

Using the raw value of a field inside a template file

Regards

Thank you! I will give it a try

I have added a new field named facebook, and made sure it was added to the template too. The new id for this field is 32.

Then, I have written the following code in the template file:

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

I should think it should be:
$item->fields->display

Ops! Yes, thank you. But it's still not working...
