Action based on condition

[mistyPotato]

Can someone tell me how to exclude an action (or line(s)) in a vBulletin script page such as in index.php by allowing only a paricular user or administrator ?

For example......

<if $Username="Administrator">
This is the line I want to be conditionally executed
</if>

In the above example, I ONLY want the red line to be executed if the user is Administrator.
I need some way to exclude a line of the script UNLESS it's the administrator(s) or a particular members who IS the adminstrator.

What I don't know is what variables are stored in memory and how to use them in a conditional statement like this.

Thanks

Are you using these in a PHP file or in a template?

If you're straight-up editing a PHP file, you might want to consider using vBulletin's Plugin System rather than directly modifying your Index.php file -- but, I'll show you anyway as it's the same concept in either option.

PHP Code:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,1,2,3)) {
// php code to execute if user is in usergroupid 1, 2, or 3
} 


PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['username'] == 'JohnDoe') {
// php code to execute if the username is "JohnDoe"
}

For some reason it's not working?
I'm working inside vbulletin's admin panel.

Here's the actual code in the template....

<if ($vbulletin->userinfo['username']=='JohnDoe')>

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>

</if>

And here's what I get when I view the Source in a browser....

<if (Array['username']='JohnDoe')>

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php">Members List</a></td>

</if>

But for some reason, it still shows the code no matter what.
I'm baffled. If I comment out the code, it no longer shows (as expected).

any ideas?

Thanks

In vB templates do like this:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[username] == 'JohnDoe'">
	<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>
</if>

In PHP files do as in post two.

Thanks also for your help acidburn.
For some reason I just could quite get it to work with the code you posted

[Kirk Y]

The code I posted was for use in either PHP Files or Plugins, sorry I wasn't more specific.

would I be able to use that in a template field in vbulletin 3.5?

If you're using it in a template:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1,2,3)">
Code to execute if User is a Member of Usergroups 1, 2, or 3
</if>
