minor or equal / greater or equal operators in template

[White_Snake]

hello!

im looking foward to create a mod for my forum

i want people to have custom ranks based on their gender, and the custom ranks to grow from their postcount like the default ranking system works

so im aware i need the post variable and lots of if/else cases but, to be honest im not sure where to begin, so far i have tried to write the code on a hook in postbit_complete and imput the variable in the postbit template but it doesnt seems to work, thanks for your help!

You can use them in the same way you do in PHP.

<if condition="$var1 < 2">
<if condition="$var1 =< 2">
<if condition="$var1 == 2">

nevermind, disregard my last post, i tried to make it work and its not working

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post[posts] < 2">
my rank is 1 </if>

<if condition="$post[posts] =< 20">
my rank is 2 </if>

<if condition="$post[posts] =< 30">
my rank is 3 </if>

I'm assuming you want to add something to postbit - you can just use the user ranks feature for that.

Also, the "posts" number is formatted (e.g. 1,000 instead of 1000) and will fail in number comparisons.

how do i get the number raw instead? without format to use them in the template, and what im trying to do, is to generate the ranks based on the members gender, for example, when the male users reaches 500 posts their rank becomes "prince" and when the female users reaches 500 posts their rank become "princess" and on untill they reach king/queen, emperor/emperess

You can't get the number raw without using plugins. What you can do is setup a rank, and use conditionals on that rank's content.

alright, thanks for your patience so far <: i appreciate it!

now i been trying to add the plugin as requested, i suppose i need to find the variable vbulletin uses to extract the userposts from the table and make a new variable with the stripped commas from the userposts, what i have tried so far is this:

plugin: showthread_postbit_create
$rawpost = str_replace(",", "", $bbuserinfo[posts]);

im not sure if i have to se $bbuserinfo[post] or the variable $post that appears in showthread.php

as well i suppose i need to find a way to fit $rawpost in either the global vbulletin array or in the $post[] array that the template uses

thanks again for your time and patience

postbit_display_start

PHP Code:

if (!empty($this->post['userid']))
{
    $rawposts = $this->post['posts'];
}
else
{
    $rawposts = 0;
}
