    Hi there,
    I have the following 2 statments working, but I want to make it so that it can use either (a gallery, or a featured image) and I have no idea how to do that..

    I would like it to work as follows;

    If a value for “galleryID” exists, then display:

    <?php $galleryID="galleryID"; echo do_shortcode('[jj-ngg-jquery-cycle gallery="'.get_post_meta($post->ID, $galleryID, true).'" width="220" height="150"]'); ?>

    else, if a ‘Featured Image’ exists, display;

    <a href="<?php $PageURL="PageURL"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $PageURL, true); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
				<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail( 'home-feature', array( 'title' => '', 'alt' => '' ) ); }
else {
	echo '<img src="' . get_bloginfo( 'stylesheet_directory' ) . '/images/no-img.gif" width="220" height="150" alt="' . the_title() .'" />';
	}?>  </a>

    can anyone please help me achieve this?

    Something like

    if ($galleryID > 0) {
    // Show gallery
}
else {
    // Show featured image
}

    That should be all that you need to do for that.

    Sorry, unfortunately I’m pretty clueless with this,

    that gives me the following (which breaks the site);

    <?php
					 if ($galleryID > 0) {
      <?php $galleryID="galleryID"; echo do_shortcode('[jj-ngg-jquery-cycle html_id="gallery'.get_post_meta($post->ID, $galleryID, true).'" gallery="'.get_post_meta($post->ID, $galleryID, true).'"  width="220" height="150"]'); ?>
}
else {
   	<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { the_post_thumbnail( 'home-feature', array( 'title' => '', 'alt' => '' ) ); }
else {
	echo '<img src="' . get_bloginfo( 'stylesheet_directory' ) . '/images/no-img.gif" width="220" height="150" alt="' . the_title() .'" />';
				}?>
}?>

    any anyone help further?

    If you’re going to get into doing stuff like this, you sould take a bit more time to learn PHP. You’ll find in invaluable when you come to these sort of questions.

    <?php
if ($galleryID > 0) {
    echo do_shortcode('[jj-ngg-jquery-cycle html_id="gallery'.get_post_meta($post->ID, $galleryID, true).'" gallery="'.get_post_meta($post->ID, $galleryID, true).'"  width="220" height="150"]');
}
else {
    if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
        the_post_thumbnail( 'home-feature', array( 'title' => '', 'alt' => '' ) );
    }
    else {
        echo '<img src="' . get_bloginfo( 'stylesheet_directory' ) . '/images/no-img.gif" width="220" height="150" alt="' . the_title() .'" />';
    }
}
?>

    That’s just the markup fixed up, I don’t know if that works or not, but the actual code won’t break anything now.

    oh great, almost works, its just not showing the gallery, rather reverting to the no-img.gif when in fact there is a gallery, but i will give it a crack and see why its not working

    thanks heaps for your help
