No Image Uploaded - default image req'd

[ronwill]

HI, I would like some help regarding the following, I don't know if the solution is via hooks or using js!

Required: I would like to automatically have a default image load onto my DV template (+tv but not imperative) when a member does not upload a profile picture. The image field is not mandatory its member choice, however rather that having no image or a default small gif when they don't upload an image I'd like to show a standard default image.
It needs to apply to just one group (member) for my senario and the default image would apply to all/any user that decides not to upload/save an image to their record.

I'm sure there must be a simple way to achieve this (I even think I did it before years ago!) but my memory is not what it once was, so I've forgotten how - pls help, thank you.

Hi
you could add an image to the images folder and use sql to add this image in the after insert hook.

Hi,

Not having much luck - lattest effort was

Code: Select all

	function your_horse_after_update(&$data, $memberInfo, &$args) {

    if($data['horse_pic'] == "null") {
		$j('#horse_pic-image').attr('src', './images/no_image.png');        
		
        return false;
    }		
		return TRUE;
	}

my table = your_horse
my field = horse_pic
my image to be shown if the user does not upload an image when creating or updating their file/record is = no_image.png (in images folder)

Hope you can guide me, thanks

$data['horse_pic'] == "null"

Are you sure this is a string ?

Try null instead of "null"

If you want to be sure, dump out the current value:

Code: Select all

var_dump($data);
exit;

Don't forget to remove those two lines later on.

Hi Ron,

try in the function your_horse_after_insert and function your_horse_after_update

Code: Select all

if (empty($data['horse_pic'])) {
	$eo=[];
	$sql="UPDATE your_horse set horse_pic='no_image.png' where id={$data['selectedID']}";
	sql($sql,$eo);
}

Hi pböttcher,
Placed code as you advised in your_horse_after_insert and function your_horse_after_update.
It worked perfectly - thank you so much, I'd never have found that solution myself.
Cheers,
Ron
