Need help with, if condition

[DamasGate]

Hello,

In the postbit template.

I need to show code at the end of every user post but only once per page of thread.

Its like "show an user's signature only once per page hack"



How to do that ?

Thank you

[Guest190829]

This is going to take a little more than a simple if conditional; you'll need to create some cache array that stores whether or not a specific user has displayed a signature already.

Oh, i do not know how to do that.

Any one can help with this ?

Thank you

You know thought this too but how does this mod do it?

It's just template conditionals and manages to show the sig only once per page???

I read the code but can't figure it out- it doesn't even look like it should work.

Explanation:

I install a hack, "show user last 5 threads above his signature".

If user has more than post on the same thread, Show only one time his last 5 threads above his signature.

Like this:
<if condition=" THIS IS THE FIRST USER REPLY ON THE THREAD

show user last 5 threads above his signature

<if condition=" THIS IS THE The second, third, or fourth REPLY ON THE THREAD

DO NOT show user last 5 threads above his signature



I hope that is Clare :(

Good find by BirdOfPrey, I wouldn't have thought to do that but it works because an assignment has a value and can be put in a conditional, so you can create an array like Danny mentioned without needing a plugin.

Modifying the mod that BirdOfPrey found, I think something like this should work:


<if condition="!$vboptions['shownlinks'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownlinks'][$post[userid]] = true">

// Show user's links

</if>

kh99 - could you walk be through the logic of this- I just don't get it :confused:

$post[userid] is just a number, right? so it's like

!$vboptions['shownlinks'][999] AND $vboptions['shownlinks'][999] = true

Maybe I'm not getting how $vboptions['shownlinks'] works?

WOW, Thats work greatttttttttttttttt

But only one thing now

If the user did not have any threads its show empty links box.

Is there any way to hide the box when user did not have any threads ?

Like this:
<if condition="USER DID NOT HAVE ANY THREADS"
DO NOT SHOW ANYTHING
</if>


I really very appreciate your patience and cooperation.
Many many many Thanks

What code are you using to show the links?

[DamasGate]

Helo,

I use this code

<form method="POST">
<fieldset style="padding: 2">
<legend>
My Last 5 Threads

</legend>
<font face="tahoma" size="1">$favo
</font>
</fieldset>
</form>

Thanks for help

'shownlinks' is just an arbitrary string, it could be anything as long as other code isn't trying to use the same variable. In fact you probably don't even need to use $vboptions. In any case, $vboptions['shownlinks'] is an array used to store whether or not a user's links have been shown. When the code starts generating the page, $vboptions['shownlinks'] doesn't exist so it works just like an array where every value is false, so the first time the code checks user 999 it will be false and !$vboptions['shownlinks'][999] will be true. The part after the AND assigns "true" to a user's slot in the array, and since an assignment has a value (the value being assigned), it will always be "true". So it doesn't affect the logic if the if statement, it just gets the assignment done.

Does that make any sense? I'm not so good with the explaining.

ETA: Oh, well...I just noticed that the above code was missing "condition=" because I messed up when editing. Maybe that's what was confusing. :D

Helo,

I use this code



So you know where "$favo" comes from? I don't know what that is.

You could try surrounding the above with:


<if condition="$favo">


</if>

I think I got it now, thanks!

<if condition="$favo">


</endif>


I think the last line is :"</if>" not "</endif>"

Heh...yeah, thanks.
