I have a form that I am creating, which creates a post and allows users to upload images. My problem is the I wont know how many images the user will upload, so is there a way to hide the output of any blank spots that are not uploaded? Right now the blank posts look like this

How are you currently coding the output to work? Can you check for null values using PHP before you output the values?

I am using the "file upload" and I have about 5 of them only because I want to make sure there are sufficient files for the user to upload. Don't want to sound like an idiot, (too late ;D) How do I check null values?

Gravity Forms doesn't display images in posts by default. So I would have to know how you are displaying them in your post. If you are just using the Content Template option for the Post Body, then there is no way of testing for null values.

"If you are just using the Content Template option for the Post Body,".....
I am using using the post body option. I've been told in a previous forum post that that's the only way to create posts from the user content.Posted 12 years ago on Tuesday November 20, 2012 | Permalink -
While it is the main way, for images, custom fields could have been used, then I could have pointed you to some tutorials for PHP and custom fields where you could have tested for values, and then shown the image only if there was a value in the field. Unfortunately, with how it is currently set-up, I don't know of any way to hide the images that don't have values.
I'll check with the development team to see if they have any ideas.

The photos are the last items I have listed, I can probably use custom fields if you let me know how I can do that?

Andrea, I got a 404 response for the link in your first post. Do you have an updated link? Actually, do you have a link to your form online, and a post which is created from that form? Thank you.

I see the post which was created, but I did not see the form. I see the problem. Right now, the content template will have spaces for all the images, and when there is no image uploaded, the space is still taken up in the post as if an image were uploaded.
You won't be able to use the content template like this, if you want to avoid outputting empty image. You might want to use the content template for everything except the images, then loop through the images in a function using the gform_after_submission hook. If the image upload is empty, then don't output the image tag.

You could also add a [gallery] shortcode, which will output all attached images based on however you have configured the shortcode, with no blank images being output.
