if conditionals php

[CoffeeLovesYou]

Hi..
I have a question.

When using PHP and global.php, we can use conditionals like:

<?php
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '6' )
{
echo "Hello";
} else {
echo "You do not have permission for this page"; }
?>

However..
Is it possible to do this with user fields?
E.g.
<?php
if ($vbulletin->userfield['field8'] == 'Yes' )
{
echo "Hello";
} else {
echo "You do not have permission for this page"; }
?>

So basically, if their userfield field8 value is 'Yes', they can see whatever..

That should work, but you'd want to check $vbulletin->userinfo['field8'] (I don't believe there is a userfield array).

Also, if you have existing users and you add a userfield 8, it will have no value for existing users until they edit their profile (even if you set a default value when you create the field).

Oh, alright, thanks!
And yes, I am aware. I would run a query to set it to 'Yes' for all users and they can go in and set it to No if they'd like to..
Thanks for the help! :)

Hey kh99,
Are you aware of how to get the notification count?
Like, if their notifications are >= 1, show "x Notifications Waiting"
if it's 0, don't show..
Not sure if this is already a conditional. Thanks

There are the fields pmunread, vmunreadcount, friendrequestcount, socgroupinvitecount, etc that should be available in the $vbulletin->userinfo array (you can see all these fields in the user table).
