Conditional to check for socialImage

[lesliekirk]

Store has some products that don't have images (yet) so the &mvt:global:socialImage; is producing a link that causes a 404 error https://www.domain.com/mm5/ - is there a way to test/check to see if the image is available?

Why not do this:

<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL g.socialimage">
   <img src="&mvte:global:socialimage;" alt="my awesome product"?
</mvt:if>

<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL g.socialimage">
<img src="&mvte:global:socialimage;" alt="my awesome product"?
</mvt:if>

Thank but it's still showing a broken link but I may see why

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.success" value="ImageType_Load_Code('main', l.settings:imagetype)" />
<mvt:do name="l.success" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="ProductImage_Load_Type(l.settings:product:i d, 1, l.settings:imagetype)" />
<mvt:do name="l.success" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Image_Load_ID(l.settings:imagetype:image_id , l.settings:imagedata)" />
<mvt:assign name="g.socialImage" value="g.baseurl $ l.settings:imagedata:image" />

Maybe I need to be checking to see if there is a "main" image?

yes, use
l.settings:imagedata:image
in the mvt:if statement.
g.socialimage will always be true

btw: don't know if i'd rely on g.baseurl all the time. i've seen some sites not have that always available. instead use https://&mvt:domain:name;/mm5/etc

I got it figured out. Now I'm not sure how happy Google is going to be but I've told the store owner he needs to get images with these products.

Hmmm...don't know if this will make google 'happier', but maybe do an elseif and use say the company logo when a product image is not found.
