if conditionals php

[CoffeeLovesYou]

Hi..
I have a question.

When using PHP and global.php, we can use conditionals like:

PHP Code:

<?php
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == '6' )
    {
    echo "Hello";
             } else {
             echo "You do not have permission for this page"; }
    ?>

However..
Is it possible to do this with user fields?
E.g.

PHP Code:

<?php
if ($vbulletin->userfield['field8'] == 'Yes' )
    {
    echo "Hello";
             } else {
             echo "You do not have permission for this page"; }
    ?>

So basically, if their userfield field8 value is 'Yes', they can see whatever..

That should work, but you'd want to check $vbulletin->userinfo['field8'] (I don't believe there is a userfield array).

Also, if you have existing users and you add a userfield 8, it will have no value for existing users until they edit their profile (even if you set a default value when you create the field).

Oh, alright, thanks!
And yes, I am aware. I would run a query to set it to 'Yes' for all users and they can go in and set it to No if they'd like to..
Thanks for the help!

Hey kh99,
Are you aware of how to get the notification count?
Like, if their notifications are >= 1, show "x Notifications Waiting"
if it's 0, don't show..
Not sure if this is already a conditional. Thanks

There are the fields pmunread, vmunreadcount, friendrequestcount, socgroupinvitecount, etc that should be available in the $vbulletin->userinfo array (you can see all these fields in the user table).
