conditional needed - remove reputation icon on forum

[GoTTi]

ok im trying to understand conditionals and how they work.

i need a conditional to remove the reputation icon on a certain forum so users dont give out rep points on threads in that forum. how would i do that?

i was told on vbulletin.com that its a conditional, and thats all i was told. no more info. please help. thanks.

Based on what condition you want to remove the icon?

[Tony G]

I think he/she means if a certain forum number is this, remove the reputation icon from this forum. Maybe like that?

[Guest190829]

<if condition="$forum['forumid'] == X">

The above should be the conditional your looking for. X being the forum id.

danny, that code will remove the reputation icon from showing in the forum i specify?

danny, that code will remove the reputation icon from showing in the forum i specify?No, that code will SHOW the reputation icon in the forum you specify.

If you want it the other way around, you'd use this code instead:
<if condition="$forum['forumid'] != X">

[GoTTi]

where would i put this code??

[Tony G]

The postbit, where the reputation variable is defined. Around it.

tony:

should it go here:

<if condition="$show['reputationlink']"><a href="#" onclick="return reputation($post[postid])"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reputation.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_to_xs_reputation]</phrase>" border="0" /></a> &nbsp;</if>

??

how should it look?i dont know???i tried with it infront of that <if and after the </if>, nothing happend.

i also got

<if condition="$show['reputation']">$post[reputationdisplay]</if>

in the postbit. where/how do i put the code?

[Oblivion Knight]

Change this:
<if condition="$show['reputationlink']">To this:
<if condition="$show['reputationlink'] AND $forum['forumid'] != X">Replacing X with the forumid where you don't want the reputation icon to be displayed.

I think that should work..

[GoTTi]

its showing the reputaiton icon and letting me post after that Oblivion..

[Tony G]

Doing the if condition that way, I think it's defining the forum in X as wanting to show the reputation icon, not taking it away. Because you're saying, if reputation is on and forum = this forum, show the repuation icon, not, don't show the reputation icon.

[GoTTi]

<if condition="$show['reputationlink'] AND $forum['forumid'] == X">

and

<if condition="$show['reputationlink'] AND $forum['forumid'] != X">


are not working. any other ideas?

[Oblivion Knight]

I'm guessing that perhaps the $forum variable can't be used on the postbit without a plugin or code modification.? I'm not 100% sure to be honest with you.. :speechless:

[GoTTi]

can someone else give me some input on this please. thanks.

ggrr its works actually. i had to do this to my postbit_legavy template. not my postbit. i just figured that out. i had no idea the 2 were different or that it mattered. that sucks;/ so many things ives tried and never figured out why the didnt work unless it was told to edit the legacy template...

what a fool.

thanks guys ;)

There really should be an easier way to do this....allowing certain forums to have reputation......can someone figure out a way to add this in forum manager?

[zappan]

this is just what i'm looking for too, the 'allow reputation for this forum' as a forum option among the other forum options. this should be a plugin/hack/mod request! actually, a standard feature request :)
