Hi, I suggest to format your template in a different way. First you need to use the http:// in the URL, because its possible that pictures, videos, etc. are stored in a different way - ie. an ftp:// or https:// site. Thus, you can't assume the http:// Prefix.
The template you want to have can get built using if-statements. This imitates a case-loop. <Template rel="example"> ;{{{title}}} {{ifeq:{{{format}}}|image|<img alt="{{{notes}}}" ... src="{{mainurl}}" />| {{ifeq:{{{format}}}|audio|<embed alt="{{{notes}}}" ... src="{{mainurl}}" />| {{ifeq:{{{format}}}|video|<embed alt="{{{notes}}}" ... src="{{mainurl}}" />| <div style="color:red">'''Error:''' the given mediatype is invalid. Please use either "image", "audio". Or "video".</div> }}}}}} :{{{notes}}} </Template> The format is: {{ifeq:{{{variable}}}|template|then|else}} And means: If "variable" is equal "template" then write "then" else write "else". Hopefully that helps. Ys, MovGP0 Thierry Kennes wrote: > Hello all, > I'm new here. I need some help that I didn't figure out yet.
