How do I...

[Mythotical]

How do I call usergroup permissions and forum permissions in an if condition within a template? I can't figure that out but I need to do that for a mod. I searched through here but didn't find anything so maybe I missed something.

Thanks in advance

Personally, I wouldn't put all that logic in templates, do the logic in the php file (or plugin) and then use the $show array to communicate to the templates.

Can't do that for this mod. Need to call the usergroup permissions and forum permissions.

Do what Danny said. PHP for logic, templates (wait, CSS! lol) for presentation.

Well if I do that then I would know what I'm doing as I have no clue what Danny is talking about.

Examples,

PHP Code:

$show['deleteposts'] = can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'candeleteposts'); 


PHP Code:

$show['something_cool'] = (
    is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6) or
    $forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canmove']
);

Ahhh see I learned something new. Thanks, I will do it that way then since it seems easier.

Adrian, is there a specific code for using forum perms, such as the above that you used for usergroups but instead forum permis.
