In vb templates you can do this:

<if condition="$choice == 1">
Choice 1
<else /><if condition="$choice == 2">
Choice 2
<else /><if condition="$choice == 3">
Choice 3
</if></if></if>

But what you can't really do is assign a value to $choice. Well, OK, you can but it's cheating. If you do this:

<if condition="$choice = 2"></if>

It has no effect on the template output but has a side effect of assigning the value.


As far as getting around the logging in an searching - maybe the easiest thing to do would be to create an admincp option for it. If you put your forum in debug mode (if you're not familiar with that, this article might be useful: www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=265999), then some links will appear on the admincp options pages that let you add new option groups and options (the link actually says "Add Setting"). If you create a new option with varname "my_choice" for example, then your template code can check the value by using $vboptions['my_choice'].
