Conditionals

[Wunderlust]

Hi,

i have searched but cannot find the conditional to do the following:-

Show an ad after the last post AND also only if there is more than one reply to the thread. Could anyone help me with this?

Thanks

What template are you putting the condition in? If the postbit/_legacy, then I think the variables are $post['postid'] (you want that to not be 1) and $post['islastshown']. So, something like:

<vb:if condition="$post['islastshown'] AND $post['postcount'] != 1">stuff</vb:if>I've not tested it, but I think it's something like that.

Thx Lynne, I did try that but alas it does not seem to have an affect! I also tried maxposts but to no avail :-(

I tried it on my site and it worked just fine. Exactly where are you putting it and can we have a link to a page where it should show up.

Hi Lynne, I am putting the code right at the bottom of the postbit legacy template.

An example of a thread with no posts is here.. http://www.tacklebox.com.au/forums/fishing-general-chat/623-rods-air-travel.html

I also have another conditional to show the ads after the first post which uses the following:

<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1">
Google Code
</vb:if>


This is just before the conditional that I want to only show one ad if no posts made.

Whoops, I'm sorry. I had first written $post['postid'] before doing it on my site and figuring out it was actually $post['postcount']

<vb:if condition="$post['islastshown'] AND $post['postcount'] != 1">stuff</vb:if>
