VB IF with custom field

[thenashy]

I'm not very familiar with VB IF statements. I don't even know if I'm calling it the right thing. However, I do remember using an example I found on here some time ago to make text appear only for a certain usergroup.

I'm wondering if it is possible to link this with a custom field.

Basically, I want to be able to allow the user to select if they want avatars on or off, on a particular template.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you set up a custom user field (fieldx) and then if you want to turn off avatars if that is set to yes, then you could just write a plugin to do it or you could modify the template to do it. Something like:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldx'] == 'yes'">
stuff
</if>

That would be:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldx'] == 'yes'">
stuff
</vb:if>

Whoops, Ozzy is correct. For some reason I thought I was in the vB3 forum, not the vB4 forum.

Hi guys,

I tried the above with no luck. Can you see if I've done something wrong here?

		<p>         
            
                       <vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['field19'] == 'On'"><a></a>
                       <vb:else />         
            
			<vb:if condition="$show['avatar'] AND $post['avatarurl']">
				<img src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" />
			<vb:else />
				<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/unknown.gif" />
			</vb:if>
            </vb:if>
			</p>
		</a>

I got it to work by taking out the else statement and only using the conditional.

Thanks very much guys, appreciate it!
