if listing has no image(s), then do not display placeholder image – possible ?

i understand

hmmmm, what if i made the default image for the listing page a small thin image, like 400×10 (or whatever)

is this default image used anywhere else, like hompage sliders? (i don’t think so)

perhaps this could work to collapse the listing detail page, but hmmmmm, wonder if google would look at this as spam, like a 1×1 image(?)

thanks

what about some css to hide things if no image(s)?

for example, i used ff firebug a bit and found that if i removed the geo flex container div, the detail page still looked okay:

might there be a way to put in a conditional like “if no image(s), then hide flex container div”

<div class="geodir_flex-container">
            <div class="geodir_flex-loader" style="display: none;"><i class="fa fa-refresh fa-spin"></i></div>
            <div class="geodir_flexslider  flexslider-ltr" id="geodir_slider" style="visibility: visible;">
                
            <div class="geodir-viewport" style="overflow: hidden; position: relative;"><ul class="geodir-slides clearfix" style="width: 2600%; transition-duration: 0.6s; transform: translate3d(-2700px, 0px, 0px);"><li class="clone" aria-hidden="true" style="width: 675px;

thanks paolo

i won’t beat a dead horse but i found the following javascript just now too, a jquery solution is provided too:

https://www.sitepoint.com/community/t/if-empty-hide-divs/4190/3

The traditional javascript way is as follows:

var els = document.getElementsByTagName('div'),
    el,
    i;
for (i = 0; i < els.length; i += 1) {
    if (el.className === 'more') {
        if (!el.firstChild) {
            el.style.display = 'none';
        }
    }
}

In jquery that would be something like

$('#div.more:empty').hide();

i haven’t had a chance to try, switching hosts, but would love to know if anyone can get something like this to work
