Checking for notice being shown

I have about 4 different notices that display according to certain conditions. e.g. Guest Message, Never Posted etc.

Is it possible to test that a particular notice is being shown on a page the user is on, so I can then run some code in the header?

pseudo code:

Code:

if noticeshown=Guest Message then 



\\ run this code



end if

Thanks,

Jon

If the notices you want to check are not marked "persistent" then you can check for the id in the array $vbulletin->np_notices_displayed like:

Code:

<if condition="!empty($vbulletin->np_notices_displayed[3])">

Notice 3 displayed<br />

</if>

That doesn't work for persistent notices. Also, the ids aren't really displayed anywhere but you can see them in the url (if your browser displays it when you hover over a link) by going to the Notice manage and hovering over the notice name.

It might be a better idea (depending on exactly what you want to do of course) to check the conditions yourself. For instance, if a notice is guests only you could check for <if condition="!$show['member']">.

Alas, they are persistent notices, so maybe your alternative idea might be the better option. What does $show['member'] actually mean?

$show['member'] gets set to true if a member is logged in, and it'll be false if it's a guest viewing the page. So you can use it in a template condition to change what guests see vs. members.

That probably is a better way to go in general, unless you actually wanted to know if the notice was displayed or not (as opposed to whether or not the user is a guest). But I think if the notice is persistent it amounts to the same thing (oh..ah, unless it's dismissible).
