I have a similar need...with a twist. I was going to just wrap the whole thing in a dtml-try block but thought I would ask. I have a folder of images called 'images'. I have a database field called LOGO and a form field called LOGO in an update form that is loaded with values retrieved from the DB. When submitting the form, in my ZSQL method, I check to see if there is an image name (text) in the DB field LOGO. If there is, see if it matches an image object with the same name in the 'images' folder. If it matches, and there is a NEW image (selected from the file system with a 'type=file') that needs to replace the image object of the name in the LOGO form field. If there is a value in the LOGO database field, but no image object exists with that name, then use the selected image filename chosen to create a new image object with that name as the object ID.

Hello,

I am trying to make some dtml code that tests if a string contains text (because if the string is empty it must be set to contain 'Clipname').

Right now the code looks like this: <dtml-if expr="mc_name == ''"> <dtml-let mc_name="'Clipname'"> <dtml-call sqlAddClip> </dtml-let> </dtml-if>

How do you do it - because the above doesn't work.
