Default Odd behavior with template conditionnals

Hello !

Today I came across a problem with template conditionnals which seems weird. In short : same condition does not work in a template but works fine in another one (without any changes, of course).

Example :
create a new template and fill it with
Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,6)">Group 6<else />Other group</if>
(eventually choose another group that suits your forum)


Now use this template in a small program
PHP Code:
<?php
error_reporting
(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
define('THIS_SCRIPT''test');

$phrasegroups = array();
$specialtemplates = array();
$globaltemplates = array('your_template');
$actiontemplates = array();

require_once(
'./global.php');

eval(
'print_output("' fetch_template('your_template') . '");');
?>

Display will show if you're a member of group 6 or not. Fine.

Now, copy the small template code in the postbit template, at the very beginning (location is not important, in fact, but it's easier to see the modified code at the beginning )
Same result as before should now display just under the thread tool bar. But it doesn't
However, you can see the correct display result if you replace $vbulletin->userinfo with $bbuserinfo within the template...

Now take the same template code again (the one with $vbulletin->userinfo) and paste it in the navbar template like if you wanted to create an new option in it. Now it works again, with either $vbulletin->userinfo or $bbuserinfo

Does anyone have any info on such behavior ?

I haven't yet tested with other predfined templates, so I may have found the only one that's working this way

After some tests, it seems that only postbit and postbit_legacy are concerned... I say "seems", as I haven't tested all templates, of course, but nearly 20 of the most common ones. All 20 are giving correct results with $vbulletin->userinfo variable.

Btw, I find it rather "good" that only those templates are concerned, as it may have to do with some special treatment for them

If I get no response or no clue from here, I will try to investigate deeper.

You need to use different variables depending on what template. By the way, I believe "$vbulletin->userinfo" is just the long way of saying $bbuserinfo, but I dunno, maybe you still have to write it out longhand in some templates.

In the postbit, this:
Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,6)">Group 6<else />Other group</if>
would be this instead
Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($post, 6)">Group 6<else />Other group</if>
And to add, memberinfo uses "$userinfo".. It really all just depends on the template.

$vbulletin->userinfo will in most cases contain the information of the user browsing the page (ie. the logged in user).

The $post in the example contains the userinfo of the member that made this one post.

"in most cases" and "depending on templates" : that's exactly what I've found out


In this tutorial, we can see that
Quote:
VARIABLES ENABLED FOR TEMPLATES
$vboptions['x'], $bbuserinfo['x'] and $session['x'] do work in the template system without running legacy_enable()
And if we look in the legacy_enable() code, we can see that
Quote:
/**
* Reenable the various legacy variables. This is not recommended for long term compatibility.
Finally, and just in case the message was not clear enough , here's what we can find in includes/functions_misc.php
PHP Code:
/**
* Replaces legacy variable names in templates with their modern equivalents
*
* @param    string    Template to be processed
* @param    boolean    Handle replacement of vars outside of quotes
*
* @return    string
*/
function replace_template_variables($template$do_outside_regex false)
{
    
// matches references to specifc arrays in templates and maps them to a better internal format
    // this function name is a slight misnomer; it can be run on phrases with variables in them too!

    // include the $, but escape it in the key
    
static $variables = array(
        
'\$vboptions' => '$GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->options',
        
'\$bbuserinfo' => '$GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->userinfo',
        
'\$session' => '$GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->session->vars',
    ); 
That's why I wanted to use the $vbulletin->userinfo variable. But this one, and may be others, do not work in at least postbit and postbit_legacy.

So I think there are some troubles out there
