That would be part of what you would have to add to the mod. You'd probably set a variable which would then turn 'on' the code in the template to make the pop-up. Or something like that.

Lynne, This will probably sound like a really stupid question, but im sure it will help me on the right track!

Why would I need to create a template? I thought templates were only used for showing something - SHOWTHREAD, FORUMHOME etc

If you put some code in the SHOWTHREAD, it only works when you visit the SHOWTHREAD page, likewise for other templates. I would have thought the code would need to go in the header/footer or template which show on every page?

Im probably wrong in my logic, but this is a great time to get these mistaken thoughts sorted!

HTML
XML
Javascript
PHP
SQL

You don't really need XML knowledge unless you're dealing with vBulletin's AJAX, but yes, that's the stuff you'd want to learn.

Thank you everyone. :)

Lynne, I think we must have had our wires crossed as I now know what you mean! originally I was talking more along the lines of an alert box, however now you mentioned templates Im presuming your talking about an actual pop up window!

Ive just started to have a little play and come across a problem. Ive put the following code into the headinclude template

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$post['postcount'] = '5'">

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

window.open("win1.html","Window1",

"menubar=no,width=430,height=360,toolbar=no");

</script></if>

However it seems to disregard the =5. Ive got a post count on my test forum of 2000+ and it still shows the pop up.

Ive also tried <5 (less then 5) and yet it still shows, but if I change it to >5 (greater then) it dosent show :confused:

Im going to get some sleep as just come off a night shift, then a trip down to the library to get some books out! Ive tried once before to learn, but gave up because I started to get confused, but Im more determined then anything now! I think im going to struggle when it comes to adding fields in the admincp to control the mod, but one step at a time!

Change the = to ==.

= is for setting a value to something,
== is for comparison

"menubar=no,width=430,height=360,toolbar=no");
</script></if>

You'll need to use $post[posts]

If you want the current users info and not what ever user posted use this:

Code:

$bbuserinfo[posts]

You can't do that - "posts" is (most of the time) an already formatted value (i.e. "1,000" instead of "1000"), and therefore, number comparisons will fail.

All times are GMT. The time now is 03:59 AM.
