If condition

[ARP]

Hello all,

I'm trying to use some text in the first post so in vb3 was

<if condition="(($post[postcount] == 1))">

And now what's the new code with vb4 ?

Thanks.

[Lynne]

Have you tried that condition? (except replace <if with <vb:if and </if> with </vb:if> )

[wolfe]

try this m8



<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] = 1"> text </vb:if>

and for <else /> its now <vb:else />

[ARP]

Lynne, Tried it now but it doesn't work.

wolfe, the code appear in all posts

You need to use == , not =

When saying something doesn't work, you need to post exactly what you are trying AND tell us exactly where in what template you are putting it.

Yes, I know to use ==

That's the code :
<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
{vb:raw thread.title}
</vb:if>
And using template hook postbit end and the plugin postbit_display_complete

[Lynne]

I don't see anything in there about a template_hook. And, how is this related to using the postbit_display_complete hook location? I thought you were just editing one of the postbit templates. That code will not work in a plugin - it isn't proper php.

<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
{vb:raw thread.title}
</vb:if>

That's why you need to be specific as to what your doing. Template conditionals never worked in plugins on any version of vB.

[ARP]

Yes Guys, I know all of that. What I had posted above that's my template and the plugin is that.
$templater = vB_Template::create('ARP_TEMPLATE');

$template_hook["postbit_end"] .= $templater->render();

[Lynne]

So it's a custom template and you are using both the $post and $thread variables in it.... Did you register them for use in that template? If not, then you won't be able to use them in there. Read this article on registering variables - [vB4] Rendering templates and registering variables - a short guide (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228078)

OK Lynne, It's registered now, However the first post condition doesn't work and If I remove the If tag it's working and rendering the template.
<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
{vb:raw arp_var}
</vb:if>
Plug-in :
$arp_var = "{vb:raw thread.title}";

$templater = vB_Template::create('ARP_TEMPLATE');
$templater->register('arp_var', $arp_var);
$template_hook["postbit_end"] .= $templater->render();

I Sure the plug-in is correct and it's render the template and working fine If I remove the if tags. So the problem now what's the first post if condition ?

[Lynne]

To see if it's the first post, use this condition:
<vb:if condition="$post['postid'] == $thread['firstpostid']">
{vb:raw arp_var}
</vb:if>

(You are the second person in less than 12 hours to bring up that the postcount condition doesn't work. I'm not sure why and haven't had a chance to look into it - sleep got in the way. :) )

[James Birkett]

Could it be that you are using 1, the boolean value for true?

Have you tried:
<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] == '1'">{vb:raw arp_var}</vb:if>

[derfelix]

shouldnt you also register post variable in your template?

$arp_var = "{vb:raw thread.title}";

$templater = vB_Template::create('ARP_TEMPLATE');
$templater->register('arp_var', $arp_var);
$templater->register('post', $post);
$template_hook["postbit_end"] .= $templater->render();

just a thought..

It's doesn't work :(, Maybe It's a vbulletin bug ? Please check vbulletin files again lynne. Thanks for your time.

Also all other suggests doesn't work.

There is no bug, you must register any variables used in the template, including those in the conditionals (certain ones like $show are auto available).

In you case, you must register both $post and $thread (in blue).

$arp_var = "{vb:raw thread.title}";

$templater = vB_Template::create('ARP_TEMPLATE');
$templater->register('arp_var', $arp_var);
$templater->register('post', $post);
$templater->register('thread', $thread);
$template_hook["postbit_end"] .= $templater->render();


Also, I dont know what the line is red is for, but all you will output is the text {vb:raw thread.title}

[Lynne]

You haven't registered the $thread variable for use in your template, so it's not going to work.

Any variable array you want to use in a template must be registered.

Thanks Lynne for your help and your great support.
