vB4 Template Conditionals List

[BirdOPrey5]

How can I insert a banner in the first post of the every pages of the thread ?

Open postbit template...

find {vb:raw post.message}

Either directly above it or below it add this code:


<vb:if condition="$post['isfirstshown']">
BANNER CODE HERE
</vb:if>

thanks alot

it is worked perfectly:D

is there any way to put the banner between the content of thread?

ie: among words of post not before nor after


thanks again

[BirdOPrey5]

Not with a template conditional... that would require some custom coding beyond the realm of this article.

Hi,

I created a profile field that I'd like each usergroup to view but only want 3 usergroups to use. How do I go about that in postbit legacy? Here's what I have so far:

<vb:if condition="$post[field27] != ''"><img src="images/favthings/{vb:raw post.field27}.png" title="Favorite Things" align="left" border="0" /></vb:if>

And change "1,2,3" to the 3 usergroup id's you wish to show the code to

[flbutterflyz]

Thank you SO much!! :)

[HMBeaty]

Thank you SO much!! :)
No problem :)

[flbutterflyz]

^^Regarding the same code above, is there a way to let the image show to everyone but only usable for certain usergroups? Meaning the image will only be active in 4 usergroups' postbit but everyone can view the image.

Not sure if I'm explaining it well...

[mrderanged]

I'm trying to make the tab to collapse the sidebar only visible to paid members, I want everyone else to be unable to collapse it.

Would this be the correct edit to the forumhome template?


<a id="sidebar_button_link" href="#">
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 9,10,11)">
<vb:if condition="$show['sidebarposition'] == 'left'">
<img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed-left.png" alt="" />
<vb:else />
<img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed.png" alt="" />
</vb:if>
</vb:if>
</a>



thanks in advance

Hello guys,

Maybe someone can help me...

I have this code:
$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= '<div style="clear:both;" class="left"><a target="_blank" href="'.$mylink.''.$usernumber.'">'.$mylinktitle.'</a></div>';

That shows a link at postbit with all topics from the user at a two specific forums.

I need that:
- the link only shows when the user have threads at least in one of that two forums.
- If not, the link doesn't appear.

Is there any syntax for this?

Or else, I had another idea...
The links only appear If the user belongs to a specific group.

You're posting PHP code- that has nothing to do with template conditionals. I suggest asking in the VB4 Programming forum, it's not part of this discussion.

[8thos]

How do you use conditionals to hide a thread by use of it's thread id or a combination of thread ids?

Say for instance, I have a thread in a forum that I don't want guests to view but I want guests to be able to view the whole subforum and it's other threads.

Is this the most efficient way to do a multi-THIS_SCRIPT if conditional?

<vb:if condition="in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('search' , 'calendar' , 'usercp' , 'online' , 'faq' , 'album' , 'profile' , 'member' , 'misc' , 'subscription' , 'private' , 'showgroups'))">
Show on the above pages/scripts
<vb:else />
Show on all other pages/scripts
</vb:if>

[BirdOPrey5]

^yes, that is how I would do it.

It might not be a bad idea to have that added to the article, it took me awhile to figure out how to do. :mad:

[VinavB]

any condition for article in CMS ???

[Budget101]

What is the correct syntax for a conditional that is a member with at least 'X' posts/threads made in the last 30 days?

Any ideas? TIA!

[BirdOPrey5]

You cannot use a template conditional for posts within x days, you would need a plugin to calculate this value.

Hi,
thanks for the great posts so far, they helped me a lot with integrating different advertising-codes for different pages (IVW) into the header template. I still need 2 conditions:

1. a conditional for announcements
to render something into the header template in all announcements
2. a conditional that effects all sub-forum of a parent forum or category
as I don`t want to use an array with all the forum IDs because the list of IDs is very long and
might change from time to time

would be great if someone has a solution for those 2.

thank you - all the best,
Sacha

[stuartn]

In user profile options I want to make and option only viewable to be accessed by a certain usergroup. How would you achieve this ?

This still works for me

Then in the html box insert what you need per forum.

Another conditional in my case I'm using to make improvements in the sharing of urls in topics:

<vb:if condition="$bookmarksites"> show only if showing bookmarks </vb:if>

[Yogesh Sarkar]

If there a conditional that can be used for CMS home page, which would not have an bearing on rest of the CMS pages?

[Gripi]

hi..

i try to put this in the forumdisplay template, but no luck, anyone could help:

<vb:if condition="!in_array($forum['forumid'], array(1, 2))">not show to forumid 1 and 2</vb:if>

still showing to all forum ID, and i read from the 1st page this thread, lots of people got the same problem with me.

[BirdOPrey5]

Try using-

<vb:if condition="!in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(1, 2))">not show to forumid 1 and 2</vb:if>

Also, I've never seen a VB forum with a usable forumid 1. Usually 2 is the first usable forumid. 1 is the main category which doesn't work in such a conditional.

[Gripi]

ok..

one more thing..

how to make condition "show only to member that already had >= 50 post count" ?

<vb:if condition="$post['postcount'] >= 50"> now show to under 50 postcount</vb:if>

the command above wont work.

thanks

hi..

not working too.. the command not show to all member.. not just member with under 50 post count

[BirdOPrey5]

The variable would be $bbuserinfo['posts'], not $userinfo['postcount'] in forumdisplay.

[Gripi]

The variable would be $bbuserinfo['postcount'], not $userinfo['postcount'] in forumdisplay.

i want to put the command inside the "postbit_legacy", and the above command wont work too.

Your syntax is incorrect. Please reread the first post.

[fanhockeycoach]

i did reread and still not sure why I can't have this show up only in a certain forum

[kh99]

I know you need a double '=', like:

<vb:if condition="$forum==59">{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance3}</vb:if>


but I'm not sure if $forum is what you should be using or not.

it was forum info

Ok now I think I got it to work

<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid']==X">{vb:raw show.vbshout_instanceY}</vb:if>

X - forum ID #
Y - instance #

[ddshosting]

Has anyone used a template conditional statement in the header for the URL or a regexpression of using the URL? I need to spit out differnent elements of the header depending on what section visitors are viewing.

Thanks.

[BirdOPrey5]

I don't see how you can use a regex in a template conditional, there are no regex functions allowed in templates...

The very short list of allowed functions is here:
https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/functions_in_conditionals

So you're going to need a plugin to do the back end of whatever it is you need to do.

In a plugin this should give you the current http path (minus the bburl):
$vbulletin->input->fetch_relpath();

[stuartn]

using this in forum display and it doesn't appear to work any longer in 4.2 pl2 - any ideas and yes it has a closing if statement...
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3,4)">

[qpurser]

Hope somebody can help me with the following:

I have a forum called classifieds (forum id10)
This forum has 2 prefixes (only members and open to all)
Now I only want to show in this forum the ones with the prefix "only members" to the user group called "members" (user group id 9)

I guess I can do this with a conditional but not sure how to.
Also where would I put the conditional?

Thanks

How can restrict signature on certain forum ID?

Example:
In forumID 2, How can I make only admin and mod's signature will be enabled, other usergroup's signature wont display?

Thanks

[BirdOPrey5]

Look in the postbit or postbit_legacy template for the signature code:

There is already a conditional you can edit:


<vb:if condition="$post['signature']">



To allow the signatures on all forums except forum 2


<vb:if condition="$post['signature'] AND $thread['forumid'] != 2">



To allow the signatures on all forums except forum 2, but OK in forum 2 is staff


<vb:if condition="$post['signature'] AND ($thread['forumid'] != 2 OR is_member_of($post, 5,6,7))">



I haven't tested this but try it. If not it may need to be:


<vb:if condition="$post['signature'] AND ($thread['forumid'] != 2 OR in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7)))">

[chikuru]

thanks, its working now...

[BirdOPrey5]

Well you basically have


condition="XXX"


Where XXX is something like:


$post['signature'] == 'Value'


or such.

You just need to add additional statements with AND or OR depending on what you want.

Use parentheses to keep the logic correct/easy to follow


condition="(XXX) OR ((YYY) AND (ZZZ))"


For example... if XXX is true OR if YYY and ZZZ are true regardless of the value of XXX.

SHOW NOT abc if board is closed, ELSE show def...
What do you mean the "forum is closed"? Do you mean closed for posting or what? If the whole board is closed (as you state in your next line), nobody will be able to see the forum pages anyway.

[TheSupportForum]

How does the template conditional need to look like if I want a text to appear if the forum is closed?

SHOW NOT abc if board is closed, ELSE show def...

there is a way to turn of a created page and have a custom message show if you turn the page off

you will need to do this in the php file

example would be...



// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####

if (!$vbulletin->options['mymod_active'])
{
eval(standard_error($vbulletin->options['mymod_closedreason']));
}


as Lynne said, if the board is off then they will see the off message from

I tried using this in a CMS widget and it would not work. Any ideas?

[BirdOPrey5]

Do you mean a widget template? Because template conditionals won't work in widget PHP code.

My guess is regardless, $post is a variable only available inside posts (the postbit template) and would not be available in any CMS template, so it would always return FALSE.

Hi All,
I would want to plugin an optimizer code only in this forum page
- http://www.indusladies.com/forums/married-life/

the code will go only in this forumdisplay page and not even in the showthread pages of htis forum - threads in this forum.

Can anyone let me know the template conditional to do the same?
Thanks.

[K4GAP]

This is a must have for folks like me that are trying to learn so that they can be self sufficient in taking care of their site.

Thanks !

You use the Show in one forum example, using that forum's ID number in place of X.

Hello, I'm looking for a conditional that will highlight a reported post (in report thread), but not yet replied in the report thread.

The following code works to show a reported post
<vb:if condition="$post['reportthreadid'] > 0"></vb:if>

The problem is how to add the conditional that this is the ONLY post on that thread I tried replacing ">1" with "=1", but that does not work.

I'm afraid I don't understand what you are trying to do and what template you are trying to do it in.

[Big-K]

Lynne,

I'm in postbit legacy.

What I'm trying to do is to highlight posts to let users know that the post has been reported and waiting moderators review. This will prevent users from quoting or replying to such post until someone has taken a look.

We have a dedicated forum for reported posts. So What I want to do is create a conditional in postbit that will
1) highlight the reported post (the code I posted earlier does that)
<vb:if condition="$post['reportthreadid'] > 0">THIS POST IS REPORTED</vb:if>
2) remove the highlight once there is a reply to the report in reported post forum (I was hoping the ">1" will do that, but that's not the case)

Does this explanation help please?

[Lynne]

2) remove the highlight once there is a reply to the report in reported post forum (I was hoping the ">1" will do that, but that's not the case)

Does this explanation help please?
That is going to require a plugin to find the reported post thread and see how many replies there are to it. You cannot use just a simple template condition to check it.

Thank you Lynne. Grateful if you can help with the plugin, but I understand if you cant.

[Digital Jedi]

Thank you Lynne. Grateful if you can help with the plugin, but I understand if you cant.
If you haven't already, you can try and start a new thread in the modification request section, just so we don't go off track in this thread. It probably depends on how difficult this is before you'll get a reply. I'm not certain myself.

I don't think it will be a simple template condition. You will need a plugin first to get the day and then you may assign it to a variable to use in your template.

How can I get registration on/of condition.
Is it like <vb:if condition="$vboptions== 1"> ?
I want to use registration on/off condition. Please help.

[Lynne]

that would be the variable $vboptions['bbactive']

[tareqbd]

that would be the variable $vboptions['bbactive']

But it's regarding registration active/inactive. Is it the same please?
Is it like <vb:if condition="$vboptions>registration['active']">

[Lynne]

But it's regarding registration active/inactive. Is it the same please?
Is it like <vb:if condition="$vboptions>registration['active']">
I thought that was what you were asking about. That is the option that determines whether registration is turned on or off, or active or inactive.

[Hilary]

Hello Lynne and everyone,

The smiliebox is causing havoc for me, so there are a couple of pages where I'd like it not to appear. I've worked out how to make it disappear for one of them, but I don't know how to make this happen for both.

Editing the template editor_ckeditor, every time it says 'if smiliebox' I add an extra condition:
<vb:if condition="$smiliebox" AND condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'profile'">
That fixes it for the edit signature box. Smiliebox gone, editor full width.

But how can I make it so that the condition applies if there is a smiliebox and if I'm not on either the profile page or the showwiki page?

Huge thanks for any help.

~~~~~

Update:

I was using 'AND' because an earlier post on this thread said it was possible. Well... at least for me, it didn't work. I tried it both with and without the 'condition=' following. The result's always the same: only the final condition before the > is applied, none of the others. The example I gave above did indeed remove the smiliebox from the profile, but it had removed the first condition (which meant the smiliebox was appearing in all other editors eg quickreply). Didn't notice that until later...

The only way I found to apply three conditions was to create three nested 'ifs'. Not pretty, but it works.

Thanks to BBR-APBT for the original post!

[GameOverViper]

I'm wanting to hide some coding for my advertisements for a specific usergroup. How do I do this?

I originally used the show for usergroup code, but apparently that's no longer working right.

[Hilary]

What happens with
<vb:if condition!="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1)">ad code here</vb:if>
? (Where '1' is the number of the usergroup you don't want to see the ads, of course.) Not that I've tried this, but I have the positive version (showing certain links only to a given usergroup) and that's working fine in vB 4.

Thanks a lot Lynne! It worked. I appreciate it! :)

[Kirk93]

This is driving me up the f*cking wall. Can someone help me?

I've created a custom forum block template that I want to use for advertisements only. Basically, I want the advertisements to display to everyone EXCEPT for our subscribers. I've tried variations of code but either the advertisements appear to all usergroups or to none.

<vb if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,15,16,17)">
<li>
<div class="block smaller">
<div class="blocksubhead">
<a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" id="collapseimg_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}"/></a>
<span class="blocktitle">{vb:raw blockinfo.title}</span>
</div>
<div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer">
<div id="block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" class="blockrow">
{vb:raw content}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="underblock"></div>
</li>
</vb:if>

Can someone tell me EXACTLY how to do this? The usergroup ID for subscribed members is "11". :)

I can't seem to add an ELSE statement of any kind because all I get is an "Invalid Nesting" error.

[kh99]

I think the problem might be caching. Try setting "Cache Time" to 0 and see if that works.

You should be able to use <vb:else /> to have an else section (but it needs the closing slash).

ETA: also, your first line is missing a colon. It should start with <vb:if condition=....

[Kirk93]

What should I add after <vb:else />? :)

[kh99]

What should I add after <vb:else />? :)

Well, I was just answering where you said you couldn't get any "else" to work. But I guess you'd do something like:
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1, 2, 3)">
Stuff to show to groups 1, 2, 3
<vb:else />
Stuff to show everyone else
</vb:if>

so if there's nothing that you want the other groups to see, you don't need an "else".

Do you have it working at all yet?

[Kirk93]

I've got it how I described in the original post, except now with the colon. All groups can see the advert.

I'm trying to get it so that subscribers (11) don't see the advert, or the forum block for that matter.

[kh99]

So how did you create it exactly? Did you choose "Custom HTML/PHP" block? And how did you fill in the rest of the form?

[Kirk93]

I copied the original block_html template and then made a new one named "adblock_html" with the same coding. I then added the conditionals (see above) and adjusted the settings for my Amazon advert block to use the "adblock_html" template.

[kh99]

That sounds good. Did you set the cache time to 0?

As Scanu posted in the other thread, something like this should work and it's a little shorter:

<vb:if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 11)">
<li>
<div class="block smaller">
<div class="blocksubhead">
<a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" id="collapseimg_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}"/></a>
<span class="blocktitle">{vb:raw blockinfo.title}</span>
</div>
<div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer">
<div id="block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" class="blockrow">
{vb:raw content}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="underblock"></div>
</li>
</vb:if>

[Kirk93]

What the...

I swear I did that yesterday. xD Ah well, that seems to have done the trick! Thank you very much mate!

Gosh, all this stuff isn't very noob friendly haha.

[dougdirac]

What's the conditional to check if a user is a member of a particular social group?

[tbworld]

What's the conditional to check if a user is a member of a particular social group?

What template are you going to use this conditional on? A variable for the conditional may not exist for a particular template.

[dougdirac]

Hmm... Which templates can it work on?

[ozzy47]

Something like this.

<vb:if condition="$group[groupid] == 106 OR $group[groupid] == 28">
HTML
</vb:if>

Change the groupid to what you want.

[GameOverViper]

It would actually be like this:

<vb:if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1)">ad code here</vb:if>

This doesn't work in the sidebar. How could I hide an ad in the sidebar?

[BirdOPrey5]

Are you making it in a sidebar template? It's not going to work in static HTML.

[GameOverViper]

Are you making it in a sidebar template? It's not going to work in static HTML.

I'm not sure on how to do that. Any guide on how I can do that without messing anything up in the process?

[CAG CheechDogg]

I'm not sure on how to do that. Any guide on how I can do that without messing anything up in the process?

Just copy everything from the (block_html) in your templates and create a new template and rename it to something like (block_html_user).

Then you wrap it in the conditional like this:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, x,x,x)">
<li>
<div class="block smaller">
<div class="blocksubhead">
<a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" width="16" height="16" id="collapseimg_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}"/></a>
<span class="blocktitle">{vb:raw blockinfo.title}</span>
</div>
<div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer">
<div id="block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" class="blockrow">
{vb:raw content}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="underblock"></div>
</li>
</vb:if>

Once you do that, create a new forum block and in the "Template To Use" option add the new template you cloned, in this case "block_html_user"

And you are good to go! Make sure you replace the red "x" with the usergroups you which to only show it to.

[GameOverViper]

Appreciate the help CheechDogg! I believe it worked for me :)

[CAG CheechDogg]

Good stuff Game glad it worked buddy...

If you want to show something to somebody with less than 10 posts, what's the conditional for that?

If you want to show something to somebody with less than 10 posts, what's the conditional for that?

This should do it.

<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 10">
YOUR CODE HERE
</vb:if>

[biftek]

<vb:if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 11)"><strong><bold><font color="#FF6600"> Supporter</font color></bold>
</strong></vb:if>


does that code look right?

[TheLastSuperman]

<vb:if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 11)"><strong><bold><font color="#FF6600"> Supporter</font color></bold>
</strong></vb:if>


does that code look right?

Try:
<vb:if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 11)"><span style="color:#FF6600;font-weight:bold;"> Supporter</span></vb:if>

The !is means that it this condition is read as "If the user is not a member of usergroup #11 allow them to see this".

[furnival]

This works and should replace the non-working code given in the first post. Thank you Alp Ozdemir!

Need a vBulletin 5 version on page manager

[RisingGlow]

Where would I find the ''THIS_SCRIPT'' names for files? Is there any easy way? I'm trying to find some mod additions.

[Alan_SP]

You should look in php files of vB installation.

For example, take a look in index.php, you'll find there (in the beginning) this:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'index');

[RisingGlow]

You should look in php files of vB installation.

For example, take a look in index.php, you'll find there (in the beginning) this:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'index');

Would there be some sort of debug option to show it? Some mods have intricate designing that it's not as simple as looking in the given php file.

[Lynne]

If it isn't in the file, then you can't use that condition; you would need to use another condition. Your best bet is to ask in the modification thread if there is a condition you may use.

[Rich]

This thread is from 2010 and no one has updated the original post to reflect that $forum['forumid'] should actually read $foruminfo['forumid']. The list is technically inaccurate for noobs since the first variable doesn't work. It's been 4 years; could someone update it please? I sent a user over to fetch the conditional and he was telling me it wouldn't work. guess what, he was right!

[tommyxv]

This conditional doesn't work anymore. Suggestions to fix it?

Show is every forum but one: Remember to change x

[HM666]

I have a conditionals question. I need to use two else statements within one area like this:

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['forumid'] == 2"><h1>This is my header</h1></vb:else>
<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['forumid'] == 3"><h1>This is my other possible header</h1></vb:else><h1>{vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</h1></vb:if>

Obviously its wrong, but how do I only have a particular title in only one forum and another different title in just one other forum and then have the standard vb headers for all the rest using conditionals? Or am I'm doomed to have to figure out a plugin for this little feat? Any help would be great, thanks.

[kh99]

I think this should work:

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['forumid'] == 2"><h1>This is my header</h1>
<vb:elseif condition="$GLOBALS['forumid'] == 3" /><h1>This is my other possible header</h1><vb:else /><h1>{vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</h1></vb:if>

Thanks for the help you provide in this post. I am looking for one conditional I haven't found in this topic.

But i don't know the variable to use in: "blog user id = 3954"

I want to put this in the sidebar to show special logo for the blog of each user.

I'm re-coding my forum leaders page and I need a conditional to call the avatar & username of a staff member. How do I go about doing this exactly? I'm creating 3 columns and putting a user in each column coding it myself in the template but I want the ability for the avatars & usernames to change automatically if the staff member changes it in their profile. This is a custom coded page so I'm not planning on using the default vB 4 group id codes that are found in the showgroups template.

For my knowledge and may be in use, how to put more than one Script I need


Lets say 'register' and "login"


Thanks

[MarkFL]

Try:

!in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('register', 'login'))

within your template conditional, replacing:

THIS_SCRIPT != 'register'

[Alan_SP]

I have a problem with this

THIS_SCRIPT != 'tags'

In default mobile style, which Google needs to have site mobile compatible, it causes problems. I need to disable showing ads in tags, it works in default style, but doesn't work in default mobile style and it also generates http 500 error, not showing thread pages and there's other problems with showing pages when I use tags within template.

Anyway, is there a way to block showing ads for tags within default mobile style? Which template is used in default mobile style to show /tags/some_tag/ link, which shows all threads with that tag?

[rbc]

What do i wrong here ? :eek:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1) AND THIS_SCRIPT == 'commerce_cart'">

BlaBla

thanx :)

[MarkFL]

I would use the condition:

$show['guest']

to check if a user isn't a logged in registered member. It doesn't require an additional query. ;)
