Im coding my own 'last post' box

and this is what i have..

Code:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#d8e1e6">
      <tr> 
        <td><font color="#5d6e76" size="1" face="Tahoma"><strong>Last Post:</strong> 
          &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]">$lastpostinfo[lastthread]</a> @ $lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</font></td>
      </tr>
    </table>

and it works.

but when there isnt a post in that forum, the variables just dont show up.
whats the <if> statement for if there isnt a post.. it just says never?

Code:

<if condition="$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#d8e1e6">
      <tr> 
        <td><font color="#5d6e76" size="1" face="Tahoma"><strong>Last Post:</strong> 
          &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]">$lastpostinfo[lastthread]</a> @ $lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</font></td>
      </tr>
    </table></if>

the element "$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]" is supposed to be empty when there is no new post... so we display the block IF it is not empty!

instead of hiding the table when there's no posts, could i get it to say never?

and thanks for the help

Replace the above code with:

Code:

<if condition="$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#d8e1e6">
<tr> 
<td><font color="#5d6e76" size="1" face="Tahoma"><strong>Last Post:</strong> 
&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]">$lastpostinfo[lastthread]</a> @ $lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</font></td>
</tr>
</table><else /><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#d8e1e6">
<tr> 
<td><font color="#5d6e76" size="1" face="Tahoma"><strong>Last Post:</strong> 
&nbsp;&nbsp; Never</font></td>
</tr>
</table></if>
