Hello guys,

I´m looking for a solution to have a default image when this custom field (wordpress) it is not in use.

	<img src='<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'imagen', true); ?> '/>

Any idea?
Many thanks.
Rai.

<?php
    $img = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'imagen', true); 

         if ($img) {
            echo '<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'imagen', true); ?>" />';
         } else {
	    echo '<img src="path/to/default/image.jpg" />';
	 }
?>

Thanks Doc,

But it show me this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/content/57/6689957/html/azahararomaterapia/wp-content/themes/azahar/pagina-producto.php on line 19

Oops! Terrible copy/pasting!

<?php
    $img = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'imagen', true); 

         if ($img) {
            echo '<img src="'. $img . '" />';
         } else {
            echo '<img src="path/to/default/image.jpg" />';
         }
?>

Give that a go!

Excellent Doc!,

Can you recommend something to read to learn the code at that level?.

Thanks.

That was actually just a modified version of a snippet from this very site! http://css-tricks.com/snippets/wordpress/using-custom-fields/

As far as suggestions on where to learn, I don't really have any. It's just repetition, practice practice practice.

Try to not take on too much at once or else none of it will stick. Focus on a few features at a time and really try to master them before you move on to something else.

Thanks Doc!.
