I need a way to determine if a directory exists (seems this would be useful for files too) using template tags. something like ... any ideas?

(long version...

Basically I am using the plugin with custom directories and I want to be able to display an alternate header if there is no photo dir for a given album.
But- it seems like this would be useful for a lot of things. This is a very easy thing to do in php, but the MT tags are obviously processed before the PHP, so I still get an error from when I try to build w/o the appropriate dir.

Maybe you could adapt your script to use PHP to store the alternatives within MT and then test for the directory afterwards. I suppose it depends on how complex your MT code is that you are outputting is.

sorry - i forot to mention which plugin i am using. it is the mtphotogallery plugin, so i that method won't work...

Maybe that's something Brandon could code into that plugin... or maybe there's a feature already in it that could help if you ask him.
