Calling profile field in template question

[Boofo]

I am trying to called a profile field that is a setting and I can't for the life of me get it to work in a template. This works in PHP:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo["field{$vbulletin->options['boofo_link_1_name']}"])


But how do I do the same thing in a template? The option setting is set to the profile field number. I have tried the following and all I get are template errors:

<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['field[$vboptions[boofo_link_1_name]']">

<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo["field{$vbulletin->options['boofo_link_1_name']}"]">

You are missing brackets in the first one:
<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['field[$vboptions[boofo_link_1_name]']">
should be:
<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['field[$vboptions[boofo_link_1_name]']']">

[Boofo]

Duh on me. Thank you, Lynne. ;)

EDIT: That doesn't work either Lynne, I get the compilation error.

[Lynne]

Hmmm, I don't know off the top of my head what it is, but I'm pretty sure I have struggled through something like that before. I did notice you are using $vbulletin->userinfo and you should be using $bbuserinfo instead. So maybe that will help.

[Boofo]

I tried bbuserinfo before and was getting the same errors.

What is the template?

[Boofo]

It would be the header template, in this scenario. But the compilation error wouldn't have anything to do with $$bbuserinfo or $vbulletin->userinfo, anyway, would it?

[Boofo]

No one has any idea on this?

[Zachery]

What happens if you just try to print the varible in the template, does it show anything?

[Boofo]

I never get that far as I get a template compilation error.

[Zachery]

{vb:raw bbuserinfo.field$vboptions[boofo_link_1_name]}

Give that a try..

[Boofo]

That showed up fine in the header. Well, actually this did, but it is also a profile field. I'm not using boofo_link_1_name anymore.

{vb:raw bbuserinfo.field$vboptions[boofo_uhg_field]}


So, how do we use this in a conditional in the template?

[kh99]

How about:

<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['field[' . $vboptions['boofo_uhg_field'] . ']']">

[Boofo]

Almost got it. But it only seems to work if I do a NOT condition, like this:

<vb:if condition="!$vbulletin->userinfo['field[' . $vboptions['boofoboofo_uhg_field'] . ']']">
<li>{vb:rawphrase no_new_messages}</li>
</vb:if>


Then the phrase shows. But since there is a viable field for that, it should work the other way around, shouldn't it?

No more template error, though, so thank you for that.

EDIT: I see what it is. You added and extra boofo in the filed name.

[kh99]

EDIT: I see what it is. You added and extra boofo in the filed name.

Oh yeah sorry. I took it out a minute later but I guess you had seen it already.

[Boofo]

Nope, still not picking it up unless I do the NOT condition.

[kh99]

Yeah, I guess that means it's not coming out to the right variable name. OK, maybe this?

<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['field' . $vboptions['boofo_uhg_field']]">


ETA: or this

<vb:if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['field' . $vbulletin->options['boofo_uhg_field']]">

[Boofo]

Bingo! We have a winner! ;)

You are the man!

Thank you, Kevin, for the fix. Your first one worked in post #17. I haven't tried the second one yet. But I would think it would work, also.

And kudos to you, too, Zach, for the code to test in the template.
