sexists for multiple file extensions

[mstella1]

Hi,

I am currently using the sexists function below to check to see if we have a customer photo on file. The only problem I am having is I need it to check for several file extensions instead of just ".jpg". I wanted to have it check for .bmp, .png, .tif as well.

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="sassign|filename|/images/customers/photo/%photo_name%_photo.jpg" />
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vglosub|filename,%photo_name%,g.basket:cust _id" />
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="sexists|vpath|filename" />
<mvt:if expr="vpath GT 0">
Use my photo on file from my previous order.
<input type="hidden" name="Product_Attributes[ 43 ]:code" value="BCG" />
<input type="hidden" name="Product_Attributes[ 43 ]:template_code" value="Phonfile" />
<input type="hidden" name="Product_Attributes[43]:value" value="&mvt:global:basket:cust_id;_photo.jpg">
<mvt:else>
We currently do not have a photo on file for you.
</mvt:if>


Thanks,
Mike

Re: sexists for multiple file extensions

I haven't tested this code, but something along these lines should work. You can create an array with the extensions and loop though them.

Also, your code uses toolkit functions, but all this can be done with built in functions and mvt:assign (assuming your store is on the latest engine)

<mvt:assign name="g.imagetype[1]" value=" '.jpg' " />
<mvt:assign name="g.imagetype[2]" value=" '.bmp' " />
<mvt:assign name="g.imagetype[3]" value=" '.png' " />
<mvt:assign name="g.imagetype[4]" value=" '.tif' " />


<mvt:assign name="g.filepath" value="'/images/customers/photo/' $ g.basket:cust_id $ '_photo'" />


<mvt:foreach iterator="extention" array="global:imagetype">
    
    <mvt:assign name="g.image_exists" value="sexists(g.filepath $ l.settings:extention)" />


    <mvt:if expr="g.image_exists EQ 1">
        <mvt:assign name="g.image_name" value="g.basket:cust_id $ '_photo' $ l.settings:extention" />
    </mvt:if>


</mvt:if>




<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL g.image_name">
    The Image Name is: &mvt:global:image_name;
<mvt:else>
    No Image Exists
</mvt:if>

Hi Brennan,

Thanks for getting back to me. I've been playing with the code but still learning so bare with me. When I use that I get:
syntax error, unexpected IF, expecting FOREACH

Change
</mvt:if>
to
</mvt:foreach>
to close the foreach loop.

Thanks Bill, that fixed it for me.

Re: sexists for multiple file extensions

The extensions portion in the array is working perfect, but when the file does not exist I'm still getting "The Image Name is:" with a crashed image. I assume I don't have the conditional correct below?


<mvt:assign name="g.imagetype[1]" value=" '.jpg' " />
<mvt:assign name="g.imagetype[2]" value=" '.bmp' " />
<mvt:assign name="g.imagetype[3]" value=" '.png' " />
<mvt:assign name="g.imagetype[4]" value=" '.tif' " />

<mvt:assign name="g.filepath" value="'/images/customers/photo/' $ g.basket:cust_id $ '_photo'" />
<mvt:foreach iterator="extention" array="global:imagetype">
<mvt:assign name="g.image_exists" value="sexists(g.filepath $ l.settings:extention)" />
<mvt:if expr="g.image_exists EQ 1">
<mvt:assign name="g.image_name" value="g.basket:cust_id $ '_photo' $ l.settings:extention" />
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL g.image_exists">
The Image Name is: &mvt:global:image_name;
<img src="/images/customers/photo/&mvt:global:image_name;" width="200" border="0" />
<mvt:else>
No Image Exists
</mvt:if>

Re: sexists for multiple file extensions

Not sure where this data is coming from, but I note that "extension" is misspelled.

Re: sexists for multiple file extensions

Thanks Kent, I corrected that. Still having an issue with this part not working for me:

<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL g.image_exists">
The Image Name is: &mvt:global:image_name;
<img src="/images/customers/photo/&mvt:global:image_name;" width="200" border="0" />
<mvt:else>
No Image Exists
</mvt:if>
