vBulletin Template Conditionals

[HMBeaty]

Just a little something I got permission from Brandon here (http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f18/vbulletin-template-conditionals-list-2185.html) to post here on vB.org. I figured that it would come in handy to quite a few people especially those of us who code so much. I've had to refer back to this several times myself.

I'll be adding more periodically but if you have any of your own, please feel free to add them to this thread. Thank you!

Display Information To Members Only
--------------------------
If you want to show a link only to registered members you would use this conditional.
<if condition="$show['member']"></if>
Display Information To Guests Only
--------------------------
The following conditional will display information only to guests and no one else. This is helpful in displaying a welcome message that you only wish for guests to see.
<if condition="$show['guest']"></if>
If Viewer is in the Following Usergroups Array. Enter the Usergroup Number(s) Seperated by a Comma
--------------------------
If you want to show an advertisement to viewers that are unregistered, registered members and awaiting email confirmation you would use the usergroup ids 1,2,3 within the array.
<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2, 3)"></if>
If This Script Is or Is Not XXX
--------------------------
If this script is index (as used in the example below) then it will show the code within the conditional. You can use it to show a piece of code only on Forumhome if you have to put it in a template that is global such as the header. To find out what the script is per page open up the php file that loads the page like for instance showthread.php and look for.
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'showthread');
And the showthread part is what you would use.
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'"></if>
And here you can show information on every page but the index page by using this conditional.
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'index'"></if>
If this user equals or does not equal XXX
--------------------------
What this conditional will do is only show certain information if the person viewing the page has the same userid as defined within the conditional. So if you put userid 667 inside the conditional below and put a link inside the conditional tags only the user that has the userid 667 will see that link.
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == 667"></if>
And it works the opposite way as well if you do not want information to show for 667 but you want it to show for everyone else you would use.
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] != 667"></if>
Display Information On a Per Forum Basis
--------------------------
This conditional allows you to display information on a per forum basis. This can be helpful if you wish to display different advertisements depending on what forum that the user is in. You would simply replace X with the forum id that you wish the information to appear in.
<if condition="$forum[forumid] == X"></if>
And on the other hand you can use the ! to do the opposite and display the information in every forum but the id you list.
<if condition="$forum[forumid] != X"></if>
Or if you have multiple forums you wish to include something with you can use an array such as this.
<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(1,2,3,6))"></if>
If Usergroup Is or Is Not X
--------------------------
If the user is a member of the x usergroup then show the code.
<if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 6"></if>
And then you can use the ! to tell it to not show it to the x usergroup but show it to everyone else.
<if condition="$post['usergroupid'] != 6"></if>
If Users Birthday is Less Than or Greater Than XXXX-XX-XX Do Something
--------------------------
Just to show the power of vBulletin here is a cool conditional that will show information based on the birthday of the user. The one below will show "Too Young" if they were born after 01-01-1980.
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['birthday_search'] > '1980-01-01'">Too Young</if>
And this one will show you "Too Young" if the user was born before 01-01-1980.
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['birthday_search'] < '1980-01-01'">Too Young</if>
If Thread is or is not in X Forum Execute Code
--------------------------
For instance if you want a piece of code to appear within thread in a particular forum you can do so with this conditional.
<if condition="$thread['forumid'] == X"></if>
If you want to show the piece of code on every new reply on every thread but 1 forum you can use this which says if thread is in forum x do not show the code but show it for all the other threads out side of forum x.
<if condition="$thread['forumid'] != X"></if>
And of course you can define multiple forum ids with the array.
<if condition="in_array($thread['forumid'], array(1,2,3,6))"></if>
Is user moderator of any forum?
--------------------------
If the user is a moderator execute code.
<if condition="can_moderate()"></if>
Is user moderator of current forum?
--------------------------
If the user is a moderator of the current forum execute code.
<if condition="can_moderate($forum['forumid'])"></if>
Is user moderator of X Forum?
--------------------------
If the user is a moderator of x forum execute code.
<if condition="can_moderate($forum['x'])"></if>
Is user the thread starter?
--------------------------
Is the user the thread creator? If so execute code.
<if condition="$threadinfo['postuserid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid']"></if>
Thread is closed?
--------------------------
If the thread is closed execute code.
<if condition="!$show['closethread']"></if>
Place Information After First Post
--------------------------
Useful for adding a advertisement or other information after the first post on every page.
<if condition="!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID']"></if>
Place Information After x Post On Every Page
--------------------------
This will add your code directly after the post number you define on each page. If you put 2 in place of x the code will appear on every page after the second post.
<if condition="$post['postcount'] % $vboptions['maxposts'] == x"></if>
Using If Else in Templates
--------------------------
You can also use If Else conditionals within your templates. The below shows you how to correctly do this.
<if condition="$show['guest']">
Show Guest This Message
<else />
Show Everyone but guests this message
</if>

[Brandon Sheley]

hope it's helpful for everyone :)

[Audax666]

Oh yes it is! Thanks a lot.
If I knew yesterday that you publish that list today I would have saved a lot of time.
But for the next time it's a great effort.:up:

[EidolonAH]

Display Information To Guests Only
--------------------------
The following conditional will display information only to guests and no one else. This is helpful in displaying a welcome message that you only wish for guests to see.
<if condition="$show['guest']"></if>
If Viewer is in the Following Usergroups Array. Enter the Usergroup Number(s) Seperated by a Comma

You wouldn't believe it, I have spent over 4 hours searching the net for ways to hide javascript from logged in users, all the time the answer was right here, and a simple solution too.
Many thanks for this, it has helped immensely.

Hello

Is there a condition for members first post within a thread, I would like to set sigs so they only show up once for each member in a thread

Hello

You can do the same thing with this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=139689). I'm using 3.8.3 and works fine

[steveneff]

perfect, thanks

[HMBeaty]

No problem :)

[DinarMet]

With template conditionals, is there a way to create an IF statement based on the URL?

For example, I have

http://..../forums/portal.php?pageid=books

http:/..../forums/portal.php?pageid=art

I would like to put a different images and links in the header for each page and thought that an IF statement would work based on the URL.

Is there a way to do this in the vBulletin header?

Thanks for you help

--------------- Added 01 Sep 2009 at 17:38 ---------------

I was able to figure it out. :)

I am using vBadvanced and found that all I have to do is substitute $forum and forumid with $pages and pageid

So instead of this:
<if condition="$forum[forumid] == X"></if>

I used:
<if condition="$pages[pageid] == X"></if>

The page id's are available in the Admin Panel ->> vBa CMPS similarly the way forum id's are in the Forum Manager.

I posted it here in case anyone need to know. If you need to move it elsewhere then please do so.

Have a great day! :up:

[ilrglen]

This is very helpful. Thanks.

Can these conditionals be inserted directly into the header template to have a message appear to one usergroup in the header of every page they try to enter (eg. I want to tell them their temporary access has expired and they will have to purchase a membership to continue)?

[HMBeaty]

Yes they can :)

[ilrglen]

So something like this
<if condition="$post['usergroupid'] != 20">
Your temporary trial access has expired. You must <a href="Membership-Individual.php">purchase a membership</a> to continue.
</if>
would work in the header?

[HMBeaty]

Not in the header, for the header, you would use

<if condition="!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 20)">
Your temporary trial access has expired. You must <a href="Membership-Individual.php">purchase a membership</a> to continue.
</if>

[ilrglen]

Not in the header, for the header, you would use

<if condition="!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 20)">
Your temporary trial access has expired. You must <a href="Membership-Individual.php">purchase a membership</a> to continue.
</if>


I tried this out using usergroup 6 hoping that nobody else would see if but myself. It worked when I did it the way that I suggested in the header but not the way you did. Then when I changed it to usergroup #20 I was still able to see it. Are administrators able to see everything other usergroups see also?

[HMBeaty]

the "!" means if they are not it "usergroup id 20" they will see that message

[ilrglen]

the "!" means if they are not it "usergroup id 20" they will see that message

Okay, so if I only want usergroup 20 to see it then take out the !, right? I'll try it again.

[HMBeaty]

Thats correct

[ilrglen]

Thats correct

It worked. Thanks. These will be useful now that I am slowing figuring this stuff out. Thanks.

[ilrglen]

Is it possible to set up a conditional that would display ads or information to people based on their geographic location? Would might that be done?

[HMBeaty]

Can you be more specific?

--------------- Added 1252496167 at 1252496167 ---------------

You could also possibly use this
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'"></if>

[ilrglen]

I have some ads that I want to place on my site that would be displayed according to the location of the visiting members. For example, a member from Germany would see mostly ads from German sponsors while someone from England would see mostly ads from British sponsors. But I don't know how the software could detect there location.

Can you be more specific?

[Favourtism]

Is it possible to insert an advert on forum_home under the second forum category using this?

You would have to use a custom profile field to accomplish this. You may discuss this with me over instant messenger if you like.

[Big-K]

I want to have a particular style for posts which have been reported (i.e. reportthreadid <> 0). However, I do NOT want this style to be implemented if the thread that has been created as a result of the report has more than 1 post (i.e. if a moderator has responded to the reported thread, I want the style to be switched off).

I figure that this should be something like <if condition="get_thread_post_count($post['reportthreadid']) > 1)">...</if>, but I don't know what function to have instead of get_thread_post_count.

[adamenty]

<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(24,25))">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="100%">
<center>
SSsdfsdfsdffg
</center>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
Will above one work ?

[ilrglen]

How about if I want to display an image to people from a particular country only or a group of countries? Is such a thing possible?

[HMBeaty]

Best thing I can think of for this is to create a custom profile field and base your conditional off of that. For example, if you want to show something to someone who is only in the United States, you would use:
<if condition="$userinfo['fieldxx'] == 'United States'">
More code here
</if>

That's what I thought. Thanks. I was just hoping there might be a better way than the custom profile field because there is a limit to the number of countries a person can list. I suppose if I just list those that would make up the largest audience to my site would be the best way to go about this and then just have a selection for other. Thanks.

[LuisMontemayor]

This code help me to put a different Title for the first post only:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
<else />
</if>

[cmeinck]

I'm currently using the following code in Postbit Legacy to show ads flush right within the first post content to guests only. How do I add or modify the conditional, so that ads flush right appear on each new page of a thread. Let's say every 10 posts, it displays the ad to guests.

<!-- message -->
<if condition="$show['guest']">
<if condition="(($post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1))">
<div class="postbit_adcode">
<span style="float: right; width: 300px; height: 250px;">

MY AD CODE
</span>
</div>
</if>
</if>
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]"class="vb_postbit">$post[message]


</div>
<!-- / message -->

[Dunhamzzz]

I was unable to get the $forum[forumid] one to work, the variable I had to use is $foruminfo[forumid]

[Dax IX]

Is there a variable for what style a user is viewing?

[HMBeaty]

Is there a variable for what style a user is viewing?

Try this...
<if condition="$post['styleid'] == '0'">
YOUR CODE HERE
</if>
This, for example, would be used in the postbit. You may have to modify it to fit your needs

[Dax IX]

Thanks! :)

Someone also gave me this code:


<if condition="$bbuserinfo[styleid] == X">

Is it possible use conditionals in signatures? I tried turning on HTML in signatures for my administrators group but still could not get them to work. I'd like to have one signature for guests and a different signature that is seen by registered members.

This wouldn't be possible without some kind of mod... if there was only 1 or two sigs you wanted to show to guests you could hard code them into the template... edit your postbit (or _legacy) template and find $post[signature]... put that in an if statement and hard code the sig you want to show to guests... basically-
if (user is a guest)
show hard coded sig
else
$post[signature]

Is there a variable for which member create thread??

[azn_romeo_4u]

How do you do this for arrays?

<if condition="$forum[forumid] != X"></if>

Like more than one forums.

[popowich]

Multiple usergroups, forums, etc syntax looks like :

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5,6,8)">

Actually that is_member_of is a function specific to usergroups...

In general to do this for arrays it would be:


<if condition="in_array($forum[forumid], array(2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ))">


and for !=


<if condition="!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ))">

I'm trying to find the conditional to include "in every forum except (several forums). I wasn't sure what the "!=" meant but I thought that might be it so I tried this but it was a no-go.

<vb:if condition="!in_array($foruminfo[forumid], array(26, 46 )">MyScript</vb:if>

That may not be a valid variable to use in that template. What template are you trying to put it in (take a look at the template itself and see what variable is being used there).

(Also, this is a vB3 article, although most of the conditions are valid, but in vB4 it does matter what template you use a variable in.)

[AlexisMedia]

I was using it in the same FORUM DISPLAY template that we changed that variable to fix. Sorry I posted in the vB3 article. I didn't realize it till after I had done it but then figured it was still my best chance because the post just before seemed to relate.

I tried posting in my other thread but it did that auto-merge again : (

(but I see you found it anyways...LOL.)

[BirdOPrey5]

The VB4 version of this thread is here. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231525) I don't want to talk about VB4 in a VB3 thread. If you're still having issues please post in the VB4 thread for help.

[AlexisMedia]

Yes, I apologize. I didn't realize it when I first typed my post... Then I left it.

Moving on...

[nikki712]

I want to exclude the forums listed below. But when I use this conditional, I get an error. What am I doing wrong? I'm running 3.8.6 PL1

<if condition="$forum[forumid] != 1,2,3,4">google ad code here</if>


It's not working.

I get the error:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3950) : eval()'d code on line 1

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.

How can I fix this? Is the fact that I run vbseo a problem?

I'd also like to exclude certain usergroups from seeing ads. How do I accomplish both of these things?

[BirdOPrey5]

What's wrong is your condition is wrong... it should look like this:

<if condition="!in_array($forum['forumid'], array(1,2,3,4))"></if>

[nikki712]

Thanks! Is there a way to use two conditionals? I don't want ads showing up in certain forums, and there's on particular usergroup that I want to block ads from. Is this possible?

[BirdOPrey5]

<if condition="!in_array($forum['forumid'], array(1,2,3,4)) AND !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5,6)">


That won't show it in forums 1, 2, 3, or 4 and won't show it to anyone in usergroups 5 or 6.

[nikki712]

I'm sorry to be a pain, but this is what I used and the ads are still showing up on every forum. I have one particular forum where sponsors answer questions. This forum as an "Ask the Expert" forum with several child forums dedicated to each individual expert. I don't want ads for competitors showing up there. What is wrong with my code now? I have included the "Ask the Expert" forum ID, along with the IDs for all the child forums. Ads cannot show up in these forums, and I don't want the "experts" usergroup to see any at ads at all...on any forum.

Where are you putting this code?

Some places user different variables, instead of $forum['forumid'] try $thread['forumid'] or $foruminfo['forumdid'] or $threadinfo['forumid'] (if you're in a thread).

[nikki712]

I've tested it on ad_navbar_below.

--------------- Added 1296756776 at 1296756776 ---------------

When I try the $foruminfo['forumdid'] code, the ad shows up as "page cannot be displayed". I'm gonna try the other two suggestions and see if they work.

It's $foruminfo then... if there's a problem the ad can't be shown that's an unrelated issue - a problem with your ad code.

[nikki712]

None of these seem to work. I'm so frustrated b/c I've had a server load problem and have narrowed it down to the Adsense hack I have installed. I'm hoping to find a workaround for this by using these conditionals, but they don't want to cooperate with me. :(

--------------- Added 1296759302 at 1296759302 ---------------

The problem is that even though it said "page cannot be displayed", it was still showing up in a forum that it shouldn't be in. I made a test user and put it in the "experts" usergroup, and could see all ads.

--------------- Added 1296759410 at 1296759410 ---------------

I'm just going to try to get it to not show up in the experts forum, and forget about blocking ads throughout the entire forum for my experts group.

[BirdOPrey5]

I just tested this on my forum, it's definitely $foruminfo['forumid'] to show the ad code in specific forums (forumdisplay) and threads in that forum (showthread.)

If you get the page can't be displayed message in the ad box you have an error in the code you copied from google to show the ad. The fact that the box shows means the conditional is working.

[nikki712]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but if you don't mind, can you please take a look at my code and see if anything looks wrong? I'm copying the code directly from Google. My hack works fine, but I disable it to test out the conditionals.

<if condition="!in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(32,48,34,44,41,49,53,58,61,79,82,81,80,46,52 ,36,40))"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Also, could my PHP version be the problem? I'm running 5.2.16.

--------------- Added 1296771156 at 1296771156 ---------------

The answer is to use $GLOBALS instead of $foruminfo. Works like a charm!

[BirdOPrey5]

I copied your code into my forum and the condition works perfectly fine for me (in the ad_navbar_below template) which is shown in the navbar template...

What exactly isn't working? I can't test the google code obviously but it looks like it should work if you had numbers in place of the x's.

DO you have a kink to a forum this is running on?

[nikki712]

Nope, no kinks. This code works:

<if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS['forumid'], array(32,48,34,44,41,49,53,58,61,79,82,81,80,46,52 ,36,40))"> AND <if condition="!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1,2)">

Zachary at vb.com helped me out. He said to make them two separate conditionals like this:


<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 14)>
<if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(32,48,34,44,41,49,53,58,61,79,82,81,80,46,52 ,36,40))">

--------------- Added 1296779481 at 1296779481 ---------------

Oh, the problem was that the ads were showing up in the forums I didn't want them to show up in. They were also showing up to the usergroups I didn't want them showing up to. The "page cannot be displayed" was just a glitch with one of the image ads. That's all that was.

[genxstan]

Can somebody tell me how to hide code tags with something else for unregistered users using if conditional statement?

[BirdOPrey5]

You need to edit your bbcode templates, such as the template: bbcode_code

Put the entire template in a template conditional- something like:


<if condition="$show[member]">

original template code here

<else />
You must be logged in to view this code.
</if>



Do this for all the code templates you want (CODE, PHP, HTML) and their associated "print" templates as well otherwise people can see them if they go to print the page.

$group[groupid] is what is used throughout the groups.php script. If that isn't working it probably isn't available in the template you are trying to use it on- where are you trying these conditionals?

The only other possibility would be to try
$vbulletin->GPC[groupid]
so
<if condition="$vbulletin->GPC[groupid] == x">

[Curious Too]

I'm trying to use it in the ad location template ad_navbar_below. This didn't work either:

<if condition="$vbulletin->GPC[groupid] == x">

[BirdOPrey5]

Yeah I looked through the code, this just isn't going to be possible with a template conditional. For who knows what reason the people who programmed social groups did not make them behave like forums and threads which would have been logical.

Thank you for trying to help.

I'm trying to make a conditional that will display in all forums except 8 forums,

<if condition="$show['newthreadlink'] && $forum['forumid'] != 6,7,8,9,22,23,24,25">

Is this syntax right?

Close. It should be....
<if condition="$show['newthreadlink'] && !in_array($forum['forumid'], array(6,7,8,9,22,23,24,25))">

Thanks for the fix, but it doesnt work :( I changed the code to make testing have less variables

<if condition="$show['newthreadlink'] && $forum['forumid'] == 8"><a href="complaints-suggestions.php" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else /><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a></if>

I applied it to forumdisplay and the new thread button still displays with the default newthread url even in the forum i dont want it to display in.

Try this: (sometimes && doesn't doesn't play well in templates)
<if condition="$show['newthreadlink'] AND $forum['forumid'] == 8">
<a href="complaints-suggestions.php" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>
<else />
<a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>
</if>

<else />
<a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>
</if>

OR

<if condition="$show['newthreadlink'] AND $thread['forumid'] == 8">
<a href="complaints-suggestions.php" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>
<else />
<a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>
</if>

Replacing $forum with $thread but I believe either should work fine it's vB4 that does not get along with $forum being used within showthread and other if I'm remembering correctly so why we use thread in that situation.

</if>

That didnt work either :(

@TheLastSuperman, this is for VB3.

[BirdOPrey5]

If you search the template you are putting the custom code in, look at what variable names are already being used.

In showthread $forum is never used... Nor is $thread, the actual one used is $threadinfo.

In forumdisplay it's $foruminfo....

So for the forumdisplay template this would be the code:


<if condition="$show['newthreadlink'] AND $foruminfo['forumid'] == 8">
<a href="complaints-suggestions.php" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>
<else />
<a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>
</if>

OMG THAT WORKED!

Thank you Thank you! THANK YOU!

Is there a variable for which member create thread??

Late reply, but had the same question myself. (At least I think it's the same question.)
Looked in the db, read some docs, and got it right on the first try. :)

<if condition="$thread[postuserid] == 15">
CODE
</if>
Where "15" is the user in the code example.

Code added to the template could show a message to members/guests (unless further limited by more conditionals), in posts created by this specific thread starter. For example, to add a unique secondary signature by an admin in new threads. You can hard code the message, or add a new phrase variable.

thanks.

Actually that is_member_of is a function specific to usergroups...

In general to do this for arrays it would be:


<if condition="in_array($forum[forumid], array(2, 3, 4, 5, 6 )">
and for !=


<if condition="!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2, 3, 4, 5, 6 )">


Your missing an extra closing bracket there.


<if condition="in_array($forum[forumid], array(2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ))">
and for !=


<if condition="!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ))">

Thanks. Updated original post. :up:

You don't repeat "condition="

It would just be:


<if condition="!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2, 3, 4, 5, 6 )) AND $show['guest']">

[m2006]

Ok.. worked thank you BirdOPrey5 for advice

[Superorb]

I'd like to display a link only to people who have posted in that thread. So for example, I'd like to show the "Rate Member" link only to members who have posted in that specific thread. What conditional would I use to surround that link?

[JamesAB]

In a PHP script, I'm already using:

TIMENOW - $vbulletin->userinfo['joindate'] > 31104000

Is joindate avaialable to use as a template conditional?

I want to put this in a template header
