Simple question.

I want to limit popup ads to just guests. What do I put before and after the popup code so that it will only show to a certain usergroup like guest or maybe even banned? Thanks in advance, this will help me.

You can use template conditionals to do this:

Aaahhh!


Thank you :)

OK it seems to work great when I use

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0">
<p>Welcome to the forum!<br />
If this is your first visit, we hope you enjoy your stay!</p>
</if>


But if I change the usergroup to 8 or 16 then it doesn't work for those groups. Is there a switch somewhere that enables it?

to use usergroup you'd have to have something like this


<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 8">
<p>Hey usergroup 8</p>
</if>

THAT's what I was looking for!! Thanks you so much!

Can I do it for only a certain IP address so that if the person is a guest I can still single them out?

[rinkrat]

if IPadress=111.11.111.11 then

That kind of thing.

hmm... not sure if it'll parse $_SERVER in a template, but hey it's worth a try


<if condition="$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '156.156.156.165'">
<p>Hey usergroup 156.156.156.165</p>
</if>


Try that :)

[rinkrat]

I will, thanks :)

or try IPADDRESS which is vb's ip defined variable;)
