Code conditional on member post count

I want to run some code but only if a member has >X number of posts and is logged in. Is that possible?

Thanks,

Jon

What do you mean by "run some code"? Do you want to check for that condition in a plugin? I think it would be:

Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != 0 AND $vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] > X)

{

  // run code

}

I'm not sure if you even need to check both, it may be that posts is always 0 or undefined for guests.

Essentially, I want it for the thread view so that members who have 1,000 posts or more see less adds. I will try that code thanks. I knew there must be some way to do it but had no idea how. :)

I've just had a brainwave. :)

Is it possible to have some multiconditional stuff, like a Select Case used in some programming languages?

i.e. if over 5,000 posts show no ads, if over 1,000 show 1 ad, if under 1,000 show 2 ads?

Yes, in a plugin you could use switch: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/control...res.switch.php.

Another way would be to use usergroups - you can add "promotions" that will change a user's group (or add a secondary group) based on post count, and you could then decide on ads based on group. Don't know if that would be easier or not, but it's there.

How about something like this?

Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != 0 AND $vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] > 1000 and $vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 2000)

{

  // run code A

}

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != 0 AND $vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] >= 2000 and $vbulletin->userinfo['posts']<5000)

{

  // run code B

}

Would that work? Are you allowed to use >= next to one another?

That looks OK to me. I suppose you might want "else if" for all but the first, that way you could have an "else" at the end if you wanted (although I suppose a last > test would do the same thing).

Great, I will try the above code then. Thanks for the guidance. :)

I have just realised that I think the above code is if I am doing a plugin. But i want to just edit the template. To translate this into something that would work in a template, would my code attempt below be a fair translation?

Code:

<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] > 1000 and $vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 2000">



  // run code A



</if>
