Help - Hide my join date

[BlackJacket]

Hello all,

How do i hide only my join date?

Thank you for all your help!

:)

Hide it (like from certain usergroups?), or delete it? And from where?

From being visable to anyone. :) Profile and posts.

Thanks :)

That's on several templates. Do a Search in Templates for "joindate" > go to edit the template > hit find (joindate should already be prewritten in there) and then remove, or comment out to test first, that line.

This will take away all user's join date.

I just want mine (admin, userid 1) to be hidden.

Thanks again Lynne for your help.

Put a condition around all those instances of the join date:
<if conditon="$whatever[userid] != '1'">
The line that $whatever[joindate] is on
</if>I say $whatever, cuz if it is $post[joindate], then you want to put $post[userid]. If $prepared[joindate], then $prepared[userid], etc.

It's going to be a bit of effort just to hide a joindate. Why not just set it to whatever you want in the usercp?

ok so i searched for joindate and this is what i got -

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

This is in postbit and postbit legacy.

What would i need to do to that code?

Thank you for your help. :)


As I recall, you're fascinated by the number 1320...

So, you could fake your joindate. Try something like:

<if conditon="$whatever[userid] != '1'">
The line that $whatever[joindate] is on
<else>Join date: Jan. 1, 1320
</if>


My 'else' code may be slightly off but I'm sure Lynne can correct me if need be.

lol thanks. I will try this now.

Is this correct?

<if conditon="$post[userid] != '1'">
<div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div>
<else>Join date: Jan. 1, 1320
</if>

Im getting an error -

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

The conditional on line 50 appears to be missing its beginning tag (<if>). This may cause unexpected behavior.

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

This should work:

<if conditon="$post[userid] != '1'">
<div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div>
<else />
<div>$vbphrase[join_date]: Jan. 1, 1320 </div>
</if>

And when I did a quick search for "joindate" in my templates, I ended up with more than just the postbit templates.

I got that error again. :(

Very strange. I'm not sure why it wouldn't take it. I got it to work by combining it with the <if> statement around it also like this:

<if condition="$post['joindate'] AND $post[userid] != '1'"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div><else />
<div>$vbphrase[join_date]: Jan. 1, 1320 </div></if>

That worked!

:D

Thank you...
