I have some code to get the vataware gif onto the roster, but it shows for every pilot even if they dont have a vatsim id, what code do i need to put in to stop that from happening?

See if that field is empty

no what is happening it shows the button even if it is empty and when it isn’t empty. I need it to show nothing when it is empty and the button when it isn’t empty.

Check your code, paste it in, you have an extra > , that’s all

It still doesn’t work. I have tried different combos, and it still doesn’t want to work, it now shows the gif, but it doesn’t link to vataware.

Post the code

12 
<?php
$fieldvalue = 0;
if($fieldvalue != '')
//<a href="http://www.vataware.com/pilot.cfm?cid=<?php echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID'); target="_blank"?><img src="<?php echo SITE_URL ?>/lib/skins/global/images/vatsim.gif" alt="Vatsim ID" /></a>

That is the code.

13

why is it commented out?

14

$fieldvalue should be equal to the getfieldvalue() function, I don’t remember exactly what it is off the top of my head atm

15

flyzen it said to comment it out.

I have equaled the fliedvalue to the getfieldvalue and it still doesn’t want to be a good little boy.

if($fieldvalue != '')
{
echo '<a href="http://www.vataware.com/pilot.cfm?cid='.$fieldvalue.'  target="_blank"<img src="'.SITE_URL.'/lib/skins/global/images/vatsim.gif" alt="Vatsim ID" /></a>';
}

<?php
$fieldvalue = "PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID');
if($fieldvalue != '')
{
  echo '<a href="http://www.vataware.com/pilot.cfm?cid='.$fieldvalue.'  target="_blank"<img src="'.SITE_URL.'/lib/skins/global/images/vatsim.gif" alt="Vatsim ID" /></a>'";
