I am trying to accommodate a template that uses infobox fields but one problem if the infobox has a gallery set as image template won't work for those articles. So I was wondering how to format that if another image source field  is filled, is hidden in the infobox (but can still be filled in / I can't have the field empty I need it for my template).

I usually use transformers (meta templates that trasclude infoboxes) so I can use switch templates using infobox's fields.

Example of a transformer template 1 (note my example is not the actual template/wiki the real one is not written yet/implemented yet).

The current way I band aide it is making additional fields hidden on the article's infobox (in view mode/ but is on source, example above using image2 and image3) but my senario is there will be far less infoboxes with galleries and changing all non-gallery infoboxes with a hidden field would be a lot of work. Or making a second template for the few artcicles that do have galleries but I just really would like 1, plus I don't want to confuse other contributors why 20 use one template and 90 use another.

Portable Infobox Gurus can you help me?
