Variables for conditionals

[AshAbed]

How about this...
I have a profile field with a dropdown list where a member chooses the state they live in. I want a conditional that says 'if user selected choice #__ in profile field #__.'

Thanks.

<if condition="$var[fieldX]">do stuff</if>

I think.

$var would be $post or $bbuserinfo or whatever.

For fields in profile it's $bbuserinfo.

and yes that is the conditional

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldX]">Some code here </if>

If the user didn't selct a certain choice you don't want displayed, I'mnot exactly sure what you do. I know you can exlude code by != But I'mnot exactly sure how one would excluse a profile field that is notstatic.

I made it so the users must select a choice upon registration. Lets say they chose '7' and the field's ID is '15'... what would be the code to display something for a user with that selected?

This only works on areas where the logged in user is. I want a varable. say userid 2555 field 20 this is what I mean. How can you do that?

Yep, gotta love the search, GREAT thread!

Sorry to bump this but:

I want to show code in a certain thread. So I use the threadID

How do I define the conditional for a threadid?

light bump to refresh my first question.

SO if say YOU are looking at my page you can see visually my field 20.
So I am asking how to pull up.... say... my userid... not yours... (as in bbuser) and find field 20

Might be a little late for a reaction but still; I'm wondering if there's also a $post variable available that contains the name of the usergroup as person is in. In fact it would be similar to the "Group:" you got with IPB, I just don't feel like putting up 10 conditionals for every usergroup I've got...
I want to be able to let people edit their usertitle without having trouble with users acting like they're a staffmember.

This thread is great. Can somone provide a list for the $post array?
