Good Day,

I am trying to display a different Header logo in a single forum. Could this be done using the conditionals commands? Would this be done in the forums Display Template?

I tryed using the entry below but it failed to work..

<if condition="($forumid,== 32))"><scr="images/Mustanglogo.jpg"
</if>

any help would be great

Regards,

Try

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT = 'forumdisplay' AND $forumid == 32">
<image scr="images/Mustanglogo.jpg" />
<else />
<image src="linktosecondimage" />
</if>

Thanks for the reply... after using the entry I am getting the folowing error

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in /vb/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3716) : eval()'d code on line 15

<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 32"><img scr="images/Mustanglogo.jpg" border="0" /></if>

Thanks for the reply.. After using the above code I can see the image block above the default header logo graphic. I am thinking that maybe I need to do something in the header template to cancel the default logo when this fourm is called on.

any ideas?

thanks for your help

The missing graphics box means its a problem with your HTML not the condition or anything like that. Check the image is there e.t.c.

You have the condition now, so just look into the HTML code and see why it is not working. ;)

I checked the graphics and even re-uploaded them to be sure. The are there and working..

when i click properties there is no information avilable regarding an image path

thank you

Ok... This is working great. Now the next question is how can I have a different graphic for all of my forums by to this command listed below but keep the origional forum home logo in place.

<img src="<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 32">images/mustanglogo.gif<else />images/storm/misc/stormlogo.gif</if>" border="0" />

OK, can I break in here too?

I want to do the same thing but I can't figure out how to leave the default header/logo in place because I don't know where to find that information.

(I'm not a programmer, I had someone install and load banners etc....)

But, I need to display a different header/logo for one of my forums.

Dismounted

08-28-2008, 07:37 AM

The code caters for that.

scoyote

08-28-2008, 01:08 PM

I'm not sure what you mean?

What code would I need to display a separate logo/header on forum ID=11 and leave the default logo/header on the rest of the forums?

Sorry if I'm not understanding, you're gonna need to dumb it down for me ;-)

--------------- Added 1219985639 at 1219985639 ---------------

How do I make it display a different logo on one page and leave the default on the rest of the pages?

<img src="<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 11">images/misc/muskiecentral.png

(here is where I get goofed up, if I put the following in there it shows two logos because one is hard coded in there.)

<else />images/misc/headerlogo.png</if>" border="0" />

Since the default is hard coded somewhere.....I can't seem to make this work.

This doesn't work:

<img src="<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 11">images/misc/muskiecentral.png</if>"

That shows the muskiecentral.png and the headerlogo.png at the same time.

I'm sorry for the delayed response, I was out of town for a week.

That is the problem, I don't know where that is.

I had a programmer do it for me and he has not returned my emails so I'm guessing he's not available so I am trying to figure this out.

Where do you think he MIGHT have put that so it displays on every page?

Just found this thread and figured it a good place to get additional help...

I'm using the following code in template postbit_attachmentthumbnail

<if condition="$forumid != 103">

<img src="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&stc=1&d=$attachment[dateline]" border="0" alt="" style="display:none;"/>

</div>

<else />

<div align="center"><img src="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&stc=1&d=$attachment[dateline]" border="0" alt=""/>
</div>

</if>

You can see a post from forum 103 here: http://www.fatboymagazine.com/showthread.php?t=33215 as you can see its not working - its still showing the thumb. I'd like to show thumbnails for attached images on most forums, but on a specific forum (id 103) I'd like to show the full attached image.

I tried both <if condition="$forumid != 103"> and <if condition="!in_array($forumid, array(103))"> and neither worked.

Anyone have any ideas?

The main logo is no problem, I don't need it to go anywhere since that is already where they are.

But, I want to click the on the Muskie Central logo (images/misc/muskiecentral.png) to go to the Muskie Central website and click the Fishing The Midwest logo (images/misc/ftm.png) so it goes to that website.

Thanks for this thread here!

Is there a possibility to check an array of forum IDs? e.g.
<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] IN (4,7,9)">It would be a great help too, if I could check not the forumid but the first breadcrumb (since I want different logos not for every subforum).

Possible?

Glad I found this thread as it should get me part of the way there.

How can I show a different logo based on the date? (kind of like what Google does on holidays). So if the date = July 4th show one banner, else if the month = October show another banner, etc. I don't want to hardcode the years, though, since I'd like this code to work year after year. Is this too resource intensive?

I don't think an 'if' on the date would be resource-intensive. But I don't believe there's a variable that includes just the date, and you are limited in which php functions you can call in a condition (https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/functions_in_conditionals), so you'd probably need a plugin.

Also a general php question for those who also know C/C++/C#... does php have Case statements?

Yes, it's called switch. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php

Thank you, I will go do some research on writing plugins. Would you know what hook location I might need to use? I'm sure having that as a keyword will help me get better search results.

Awesome... It's nice to see something familiar (as I struggle to learn php). Could switch/case have been used for some of the earlier examples in this thread (if they wanted more if/else conditions) or can it not be used in templates?

If the logo is in the header template then you probably want to use the parse_templates hook. The best thing to do when deciding on a hook is to look in the code. It helps to have the code on your location computer and set it up so that you can search across all files. Then you can search for a hook location, for instance, and look to see what can be dome at that location and which variables are available.

You pretty much only have 'if' available in a template.
