Following instructions under url topic I have the following code instructions:<?php
if
(file_exists(JPATH_SITE.'/components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/uploads/' . $row['{var:name_list.row.Model.fieldname}'])
AND !empty($row['{var:Model.fieldname}']))
{
echo "Yes file";
} else {
echo "no file";
}
?>

But, I'm still getting "no file" on files that do exist. Where am I going wrong?

You can't use shortcodes in PHP.
​

$this->get("name_list.row.Model.fieldname");

Since I am not a PHP programmer, would you mind letting me know where to place this in my code listed earlier:

Where is this PHP code, where are you getting $row from? Is this in Chronoforms, or Chronoconnectivity?

I tried to duplicate the code example in the url reference above.I'm sorry this is so confusing to me.

OK no wonder it's not working. Again what are you trying to do exactly?

I have a cf6 form to upload photo image. I want to use cc6 to view the data submitted with the form and have a link on the photo column to link to photo to allow viewing the image in another image (which may be larger than the one appearing in the cc6 table list view. But if the photo field is empty I want the photo column to show "no Photo"; right now is a missing icon.

Here's the page I'm working on
https://seekingadoptees.alanaheng.com/families-seeking-adoptees-report.html

here's my code (the link works for now) but I want "no Photo" to appear if no photo is uploaded.

<a href="root/components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/uploads/{var:table_view_list.Model.photo_upload}" target="_blank"><img src="root/components/com_chronoforms6/chronoforms/uploads/{var:table_view_list.row.Model.photo_upload}" /></a>

Here's the code use to try to accomplish my goal using HTML view:

<?php
if (file_exists(JPATH_SITE.'/components/com_chronoforms/uploads/'.$row['Model_photo_upload']))
{
echo "<a href='".JURI::root()."components/com_chronoforms/uploads/{$row['photo_upload']}' >Photo</a>";
}
if (empty($photo_upload))
{ echo "no Photo";}
?>

Hope this makes sense.

OK use a switch (under logic) instead. In the column view in your table setup, use

columnname:{fn:switch}

​
For the switch data source use

{var.empty:table_view_name.row.model.field}

And in the switch put

true:No Photo
false: <a href="{path:}/{var:table_view_name.row.model.field}">blahblah</a>

​
If that doesn't work properly, use

if (file_exists(JPATH_SITE.'/components/com_chronoforms/uploads/'.$this->get('table_view_name.row.model.field')) {
    echo "<a href='" . JURI::root() . "components/com_chronoforms/uploads/" . $this->get('table_view_name.row.model.field') . "' >Photo</a>";
}
else
  echo "No Photo";

Ok I'll give it go on your suggestions. and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks

Replace table_view_name with the name of your table view, replace model with your data read model, and field with the name of your field. Leave 'row' as is.
