Hi,
Is it possible to test ,if an image exists, from a template?
To explain:
Let's suppose in my template I use
<img src="/Media/Uploaded/Thumbnail/{{ImageName}}">

and {{ImageName}} is a picture that can exists but it needn't.
But if it does not exist, then I will receive an ugly picture in my
view (HTML)result.
So, I test that in my view but it would be better if I could test that
directly from my template
Thank you for help
L.

You can always write a custom template filter that could check that
pretty easily.
