   I need some help here.. I'm using a theme called 'moneyzine' on moneysinternet.com.

   The theme displays images next to posts. These images are linked via a custom field called 'screen' that you add to your posts.

   The problem comes up with you don't add that custom field to the post, a black image shows up. I'd like a default image to show up.

   The coding that displays the image is in the index.php file under the theme.. It goes like this:

   <div class="entry">
   <?php $screen = get_post_meta($post->ID,'screen', true); ?>
   <?php $screen = get_post_meta($post->ID,'screen', false); ?>
   <img src="<?php echo ($screen); ?>" width="160" height="100" alt="" />
   <?php the_content_limit(600, ""); ?>
   <div class="clear"></div>
   </div>

   what would i change to get this display a default image if no custom image is defined?

   Pretty easy fix, just add a bit of logic:
   

   <div class="entry">
   	<?php
   	$screen = get_post_meta($post->ID,'screen', true);
   	$screen = ( !empty( $screen ) ) ? $screen : 'path/to/default-image.jpg';
   	print '<img src="' . $screen . '" width="160" height="100" alt="" />';
   	the_content_limit(600, "");
   	?>
   	<div class="clear"></div>
   </div>

   Please let me know if you have trouble with this code - it works in theory, but was not tested.
