tried that and it didnt work.

tried it again and seems to work now- must have missed something

<if condition="in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(110,149,150))">images/evid_blue/gradients/SXS411.PNG<else />

He he. It also happens often to me: Try, try, try... ask... then it works and I never get, what went wrong before :).

Nice it works now!

Glad I found this thread as it should get me part of the way there.

How can I show a different logo based on the date? (kind of like what Google does on holidays). So if the date = July 4th show one banner, else if the month = October show another banner, etc. I don't want to hardcode the years, though, since I'd like this code to work year after year. Is this too resource intensive?

Also a general php question for those who also know C/C++/C#... does php have Case statements?

Thanks

I don't think an 'if' on the date would be resource-intensive. But I don't believe there's a variable that includes just the date, and you are limited in which php functions you can call in a condition (https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/...n_conditionals), so you'd probably need a plugin.

Yes, it's called switch. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/control...res.switch.php

Thank you, I will go do some research on writing plugins. Would you know what hook location I might need to use? I'm sure having that as a keyword will help me get better search results.


Awesome... It's nice to see something familiar (as I struggle to learn php). Could switch/case have been used for some of the earlier examples in this thread (if they wanted more if/else conditions) or can it not be used in templates?

If the logo is in the header template then you probably want to use the parse_templates hook. The best thing to do when deciding on a hook is to look in the code. It helps to have the code on your location computer and set it up so that you can search across all files. Then you can search for a hook location, for instance, and look to see what can be dome at that location and which variables are available.


You pretty much only have 'if' available in a template.
