How to make a simple 'option'

Hey all.

Say I make a really simply template change that I want to be optional.

( the case in question, I want users to be able to choose to have the forum catergory icons on or off )

Currently I've done this in a rather messy way, having one skin set with the forum catergory icons, each skin set with a child skin with the mod to remove those icons.

Now surely I should be able to stick a yes/no choice in somewhere, say on the user optionsm say in the visible post elements section of the usercp:

/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions

Quote:

You have the option to show or hide various elements of messages, which may be of use to users on slow internet connections, or who want to remove extraneous clutter from posts.
Show Signatures
Show Avatars
Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)
Show forum catergory icons

How can I make a choice there effect my code? I know it's simple but I'm still new at this kind of coding...

In your template, use a conditional:

HTML Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldn']">

    <!-- code if "Show forum category icons" is checked -->

</if>

Change the "n" in "fieldn" to match the ID of the new field. Also note your typo for category in case you made it for the actual field as well.

^ ^
okay, that makes sense, thanks.

But how do I then add the necessary line of code to allow user selection of that choice?

It does it automaticly when adding a new field ;)

Sorry, I'm still not following. I do understand you stick the if statement around the code in question.

Where do the options for user selection then become avalible? :(

Sorry for bumping this up, but this seems such an easy thing to do... yet I'm lost :(

Really sorry for bumping my thread yet again, but I wrapped a conditional around my statement and did -not- find an option suddenly appear? What on earth am I doing wrong?

You must add a profile field (via the admin cp) so the user can have the option to select. That's the fieldn that filburt referred to.

Is this valid code then?

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['field15']">

    <!-- code if "Show forum category icons" is checked -->

</if>



<if condition!="$bbuserinfo['field15']">

    <!-- code if "Show forum category icons" isn't checked -->

</if>

:/

Cause I'm getting a parse error :(
