If Profile Field Then Do Action

[TheInsaneManiac]

Ok, so basically what I got here is a dropdown profile field. If a member selects something specific from this profile field I want something to be displayed.

So if the profile field says "Red" I want certain things to be in red.

So like:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field1]" == red>
<font color="red">
$content
</if>
</font>

The variable to use depends on what page/template you are trying to use it in and who the variable relates to - the person viewing the page or the page/post of another user?

I want it so that any user who selects red via their usercp will see a certain page in red.

Then $bbuserinfo is probably the correct variable to use.

So I have it set up correctly? Should red be in quotations?

Example:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field1]" == "red">

single quotes.

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field1] == 'red'">

Always better to quote array keys in conditionals (and you can and should use the identical operator, as it is faster).

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['field1'] === 'red'">

Sweet thanks!

I was just posting optimisations to the original code posted.
