Inline Graphic with a Switch Rule

[AngelBenitez]

Hello,

Can someone walkthrough me through including an inline graphic but also create a rule within that inline graphic to do the following:

If the value of a field is yes, then show the graphic; however, if the value of the graphic is no, then don't show the graphic.

 

If someone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

if (Trim(ToLower(Field("YourFieldName"))) != "yes")
    return "";
// else something that returns a graphic, such as:
return Resource("ResourceName");
// or:
return CreateResource("somefile.jpg", "graphic");
// or:
return '<graphic file="somefile.jpg">';

Hello @Dan Korn; thank you for your response. I'm unsure if you are familiar with using MarcomCentral, but which one of these rules would I use to pull in the image based on an image collection? If so, do I need to take any additional steps to achieve this outcome?

A graphic in an image collection in MarcomPortal is referenced by the graphic's file name.  So you would need this variation:

 

if (Trim(ToLower(Field("YourFieldName"))) != "yes")
    return "";
// else something that returns a graphic, such as:
return CreateResource("somefile.jpg", "graphic");

Note that since this is going to be an inline graphic, that is, a graphic that flows inline with text, you need to do this in a Text rule.
