biblatex - custom citation with conditional clause
up vote

favorite
I have a custom footnote citation command defined by modifying this answer in the following way:
DeclareCiteCommand{citejournal} % to get the journal entry
{usebibmacro{prenote}}
{usebibmacro{citeindex}%
usebibmacro{journal}}
{multicitedelim}
{usebibmacro{postnote}}
newcommand{cfootcite}[1]{
tiny{citeauthor{#1}, citetitle{#1}, citejournal{#1}, citeyear{#1}}} % to get author, title, journal, year
which works perfectly for .bib entries that have all those fields.
But now I have a .bib file consisting of many articles, but also some books (ergo without a journal entry) that I want to cite using this command.
How can I make a conditional that checks whether there is a journal entry in the .bib file, and changes the output accordingly?
I have tried playing around with the answers presented in this question, but apparently I am too unfamiliar with conditionals in LaTeX to make it work.
Any help is appreciated.
(I am aware that the simplest solution would be to define two separate commands for articles and books.)
MWI:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{filecontents}
begin{filecontents}{bib.bib}
@article{article,
author = {Vimes, Samuel},
title = {The Influence of Species Diversity in the City Watch},
journal = {Unseen University Non-Magical Journal},
date = {1988}
}
@book{book,
author = {Vimes, Samuel},
title = {How To Be A Good Copper},
date = {2002}
}
end{filecontents}
usepackage[backend=biber,maxcitenames=1,maxbibnames=2,
giveninits=true]{biblatex}
bibliography{bib.bib}
% usepackage{xstring} % for if clause
DeclareCiteCommand{citejournal}
{usebibmacro{prenote}}
{usebibmacro{citeindex}%
usebibmacro{journal}}
{multicitedelim}
{usebibmacro{postnote}}
newcommand{cfootcite}[1]{
{tiny{citeauthor{#1}, citetitle{#1}, citejournal{#1}, citeyear{#1}}}} % to get author, title, journal, year

I strongly recommend not to build upcitecommands from othercite...commands. Commands defined likecfootciteusually can't deal with multiple citations (cfootcite{sigfridsson,nussbaum}) properly and need extra work to process pre- and postnote arguments. Additionally it can get increasingly complicated to get citation tracking and other context-senstive stuff right when you execute severalcite...-like macros at once. Commands like these are better defined withDeclareCiteCommand. The additional advantage ofDeclareCiteCommandfor your case is that ...

... additional information about the entry is available directly (such as the entry type), which can be used to deal with conditional formatting for entry types directly. Note how Audrey's answer to tex.stackexchange.com/a/29931/35864 uses just oneDeclareCiteCommandand declares everything within that one command.

You can use the biblatex command
ifentrytypes{article}{usebibmacro{journal}addcommaaddspace}{}
in the definition of you auxiliary citejournal cite command, and remove the comma after citejournal{#1}.
Thus having
DeclareCiteCommand{citejournal}
{usebibmacro{prenote}}
{usebibmacro{citeindex}%
ifentrytype{article}{usebibmacro{journal}addcommaaddspace}{}}
{multicitedelim}
{usebibmacro{postnote}}
newcommand{cfootcite}[1]{
{tiny{citeauthor{#1}, citetitle{#1}, citejournal{#1}citeyear{#1}}}}
