<if condition="$show['member']"> not working in custom template?

[dutchbb]

Ok, I made a custom template, used this conditional in it (normally used in navbar):

<if condition="$show['member']">

But it's not working there, howcome?

[dutchbb]

That conditional is used with an <else /> in navbar as default for showing the navbar login information (pm and such) or login information for guests.

Just original vbulletin code:

	<if condition="$show['member']">
	
		<td class="alt2" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
		<div class="smallfont">
			<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />
			<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
			<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>
			<if condition="$show['pmwarning']"><br /><strong><phrase 1="$vbphrase[pmpercent_nav_compiled]">$vbphrase[your_pm_box_is_x_full]</phrase></strong></if>
		</div>
		</td>
		
	<else />
		
		<td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap" style="padding:0px">
			
		<!-- login form -->
		<form action="login.php?do=login" method="post" onsubmit="md5hash(vb_login_password, vb_login_md5password, vb_login_md5password_utf, $show[nopasswordempty])">
		<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>
		<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0">
		<tr>
			<td class="smallfont"><label for="navbar_username">$vbphrase[username]</label></td>
			<td><input type="text" class="bginput" style="font-size: 11px" name="vb_login_username" id="navbar_username" size="10" accesskey="u" tabindex="101" value="$vbphrase[username]" onfocus="if (this.value == '$vbphrase[username]') this.value = '';" /></td>
			<td class="smallfont" colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"><label for="cb_cookieuser_navbar"><input type="checkbox" name="cookieuser" value="1" tabindex="103" id="cb_cookieuser_navbar" accesskey="c" />$vbphrase[remember_me]</label></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="smallfont"><label for="navbar_password">$vbphrase[password]</label></td>
			<td><input type="password" class="bginput" style="font-size: 11px" name="vb_login_password" id="navbar_password" size="10" tabindex="102" /></td>
			<td><input type="submit" class="button" value="$vbphrase[log_in]" tabindex="104" title="$vbphrase[enter_username_to_login_or_register]" accesskey="s" /></td>
		</tr>
		</table>
		<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
		<input type="hidden" name="do" value="login" />		
		<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password" />
		<input type="hidden" name="vb_login_md5password_utf" />
		</form>
		<!-- / login form -->
			
		</td>
		
	</if>

But I want to use this whole piece of code in a custom template, with a variable for it in the forumhome template.

[Dismounted]

Try $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != 0 instead.

[dutchbb]

That is not possible since I need to use an <else /> after it to show something different for guests...

I would like to know why the conditional $show['member'] doesnt work in a custom template, any help is appreciated.

[TheMilkCarton]

Why is it not possible to use <else /> with Dismounted's suggestion?

<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != 0"> member code <else /> guest code </if>

Maybe I'm missing something?

[dutchbb]

You are right, it does work. However still like to know why the original didn't??

BTW is user ID better than using usergroup != 1 ?

And another problem: <phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase> is also not working in this template, is there a way to make these work in custom templates?

It doesn't really matter. Just use what works?

Is this for vBadvanced? The vBa code would look like this:

<phrase 1="$lastvisitdate" 2="$lastvisittime">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>

If not, I can't really help, because I don't know what this custom template is and what plugin/PHP file is calling on it.

[dutchbb]

Nope, not vbadvanced. I just would like to use navbar code in a new template (rightcolumn). Anyone know of a topic i can read here about this issue? thanks

<phrase 1="$lastvisitdate" 2="$lastvisittime">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>

You will also need to have this PHP code (either in a plugin or in the file itself):

PHP Code:

$lastvisitdate = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit']);
$lastvisittime = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit']);

I assume you're using one of the forum column mods then? Kerry Anne's maybe?

No offense to her or anything... but you should really just install vBadvanced 3.0. Column integration is now integrated and *automated* in 3.0 and there are no more file edits -- you just tell vBa which forum pages to show the column on.

There is already a Welcome/Log-in box in vBa by default that you can position wherever you want, not to mention Mini Calendar, Recent Threads, News, News Archive modules, etc.

And if you continue to try adding a lot of code that depends on variables to that "rightcolumn" template you're inevitably going to run into the same problem again and have to add more variables to the plugin or PHP file that the column hack uses.
