Instead of:


<if condition="$userinfo[field15]">


Try:


<if condition="$show['field15']">

or

<if condition="$post['field15']">


Also, if the <if> tag is on the outside of the <td> tags keep the closing </if> tag outside the <td> tags to maintain consistency.

Hello

thankyou for that thread it was very usefull.. but it seem to me i dont understand it

here what i try

<if condition="$comma = ''"></if>
<if condition="$userinfo[field15] & 1">
<TD width="133" valign="top" class="alt1"><strong>I am here for:</strong></TD>
<TD width="205" valign="top" class="alt1">$post[field15]$comma<if condition="$comma = ', '"></if></if></TD>
</tr>
<tr>

and

<if condition="$comma = ''"></if>
<if condition="$userinfo[field15] & 1">
<TD width="133" valign="top" class="alt1"><strong>I am here for:</strong></TD>
<TD width="205" valign="top" class="alt1">$post[field15]<if condition="$comma = ', '"></if></if></TD>
</tr>
<tr>


i try to do this way and it dont work .. any idea :surprised:

[Freesteyelz]

From what I've gathered you'll have to manually translate each option accordingly. Placing $post[field15] will only show the "binary" number. So there will be a bit of work if you have a lot of selections.

If for example you want to show the 4 options, "Serious Relationships", "Friends", "Networking" and "Dating" you'll need to set a conditional for each. Such as:


<if condition="$post['field15'] & 1">
Serious Relationships
</if>
<if condition="$post['field15'] & 2">
Friends
</if>
<if condition="$post['field15'] & 4">
Networking
</if>
<if condition="$post['field15'] & 8">
Dating
</if>

And so forth...


Check the numbers correctly. Notice that:

1 = Option 1 (Serious Relationships)
2 = Option 2 (Friends)
4 = Option 3 (Networking)
8 = Option 4 (Dating)

So options 5 would be "16" and option 6 would be "32". In post #3 the $comma is only if you want a comma placed after each selection when you allow multiple selections.

I hope that I've explained it properly. :)

Thanks alot that work fine :)

there is just a small error know when i try to add the code like this..

<if condition="$userinfo[field15]">
<TD width="133" valign="top" class="alt1"><strong>I am here for:</strong></TD>
<TD width="205" valign="top" class="alt1"><if condition="$post['field15'] & 8">Dating </if><if condition="$post['field15'] & 4">Networking</if><if condition="$post['field15'] & 2">Friends</if><if condition="$post['field15'] & 1">Serious Relationships</if></if></TD>
</tr>
<tr>

know you can see if i select more then one options it give me like this way

Serious RelationshipsNetworkingDatingFriends


i was think maybe there is anther better way where i can do comma for each options ? any seggestion about this..

thanks alot for help :)

[Freesteyelz]

Yeah. You'll need to add the $comma to separate each selection. It's not that much of an edit but you'll probably want to replace what you have with:


<if condition="$comma = ''"></if>

<if condition="$post['field15'] & 1">
$comma Serious Relationships
<if condition="$comma = ', '"></if>
</if>
<if condition="$post['field15'] & 2">
$comma Friends
<if condition="$comma = ', '"></if>
</if>
<if condition="$post['field15'] & 4">
$comma Networking
<if condition="$comma = ', '"></if>
</if>
<if condition="$post['field15'] & 8">
$comma Dating
<if condition="$comma = ', '"></if>
</if>


See if that helps. :)
