I created a simple news website. I store both videos and images in IMAGES table. Videos added have videos and images added have images stored in a column called ImagesType. Images and Videos attached to a news is stored in ImagesID column of the NEWS table. My problem occurs when I need to display the first image of a news.
i.e.
IMAGES table:
ImagesID ImagesLgURL ImagesType
1 /FLPM/media/videos/0H7T9C0F.flv videos
2 /FLPM/media/images/8R5D7M8O.jpg images
3 /FLPM/media/images/0E7Q9Z0C.jpg images
NEWS table
NewsID ImagesID NewsTitle
1 1;2; Street Chic: Paris ERROR
2 3; Paris Runway NO ERROR
The following code give me an error with the 2nd news item because the first ImageID stored in the list is not an image but a video. I need to figure out a way to skip the video item and display the next image.
I hope I made sense.
SQL = "SELECT
NEWSID, CATEGORIESID, IMAGESID, NEWSTITLE, NEWSSHORTDESC, NEWSACTIVE, NEWSDATEENTERED"
SQL = SQL & " FROM NEWS N"
SQL = SQL & " WHERE NEWSACTIVE = 1"
SQL = SQL & " ORDER BY NEWSDATEENTERED DESC"
Set objNews = objConn.Execute(SQL)
Do While intLooper1 <= 3 And Not objNews.EOF
IMAGES = Split(Left(objNews("IMAGESID"),Len(objNews("IMAGESID"))-1), ";")
SQL = "SELECT ImagesID, ImagesName, ImagesLgURL, ImagesSmURL, ImagesType"
SQL = SQL & " FROM IMAGES I"
SQL = SQL & " WHERE ImagesID = " & IMAGES(0) & " AND ImagesType = 'images'"
Set objLgImage = objConn.Execute(SQL)
<div>
<a href="?Section=news&SubSection=redirect&NEWSID=<%=objNews("
NEWSID")%>">
<img src="<%=objLgImage("ImagesLgURL")%>" alt="<%=objLgImage("ImagesName")%>" />
</a>
</div>
<%
objLgImage.Close
Set objLgImage = Nothing
intLooper1 = intLooper1 + 1
objNews.MoveNext
Loop
%>
