{$vbulletin->userinfo[variable]} STUFF

[evenmonkeys]

Okay... I've got a few questions...

Question 1
How can I use {$vbulletin->userinfo[variable]} in <if condition> statements? When I put that in there, I get an error saying I can't do that. So how would I do it?

Question 2
Why doesn't {$vbulletin->userinfo[signature]} let bb code work? I'm making a custom page without using an actual php file and I was told that {$vbulletin->userinfo[variable]} should pull everything. However, when I use {$vbulletin->userinfo[signature]}, it pulls exactly what's there. ie: sadfsad[[i]/img]

Question 3
Why doesn't <img src="{$vbulletin->userinfo[avatarurl]}"> work? Is there something else I can use to make it work?

HELP ME!!!

1) Use $vbulletin->userinfo['variable'] in conditions, you dont need {}.

2) You need to initialise a bbcode parser class and parse the signature field.

3) You need to use fetch_userinfo with a specific option to join the avatar table before having it available.

You should use $bbuserinfo['whatever'] in templates - $vbulletin is not within the scope everywhere.

I can't use that. I tried using that and it didn't work. When I showed it all to Marco, he told me to use {$vbulletin->userinfo[variable]}. >_> Then it all started working for the most part.

Are number 2 and 3 possible without creating a php file?

You could possibly do 2/3 in hooks.

Andreas: I wasnt aware you could use $bbuserinfo inside the conditional statements. Are you saying that the template code converts $bbuserinfo into the proper "variable" for different scopes? (for both variables in templates and conditionals?)

[evenmonkeys]

I'm almost 100% positive it doesn't. Marco and I worked with it before.

$$bbuserinfo should always work in templates.

[evenmonkeys]

I was messing with the usercp template. When I tried using $bbuserinfo, it wouldn't work for me.

@merk
replace_template_variables() ;)
Basically it does $bbuserinfo => $GLOBALS['vbulletin']->userinfo, etc.

How would I make hooks for these? I know how to make hooks... but what would I put in the hooks to make it work in the template?

I mean... there are several things not showing up... but at least this would give me an idea. Join date, referrals, messenger icons, etc are all not showing up. It hates me.

[merk]

Depends where you want to put it.

[evenmonkeys]

In the usercp template.

[merk]

There should be a hook usercp_start, it could go in there.

[evenmonkeys]

I don't know what to put in the hooks though. =\
