# Plugin WP Types – display default value if empty

 * Hey there,
 * Just switched from magic fields to WP Types and to get things bulletproof I want
   to make sure if a field is empty, that there’s still some content being displayed.
   In my case it’s about defining an image…
 * The code I’ve previously been using to achieve this is:
    ` <?php $values = get_post_custom_values("
   fieldname"); if (isset($values[0])) { ?> <img src="<?php echo get('fieldname');?
   >" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>"/> <?php }
 *  else { ?>
    <img src=""/> <?php } ?>
 * Any idea how to achieve this with “types_render_field”? Can’t get it to work 
   with WP Types…
 * Thanks in advance!

 * This is working for me:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $url=(types_render_field("url", array("raw"=>"true")));
       if ($url== '')
       { ?>
       <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
       <?php } else { ?>
       <a href="<?php echo (types_render_field("url", array("raw"=>"true"))); ?>" target="_blank" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
       <?php } ?>
       ```
