Parse Error in Showthread help needed please

Ah, okay. I've never tried doing it before. t was just an idea, albeit a bad one, it seems.

You can only use a small set of functions in conditionals (see the manual here): http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...n_conditionals (like the list in the error message)

So the way around that of course is to make a plugin for the code which sets a variable that you can check in your template.

Something I just noticed recently - you can actually allow other functions in templates (see the bottom user comment on the above page), but that also requires a plugin.

Ok I believe I got it, if there is another "right" way please someone let me know... but for anyone that wants to know, here is what I did and it seems to work.

It was fairly simple...I followed the instructions here and made a simple plugin.

Thanks for everyone that answered this post!

**Kh99 I saw your last post right after I got done figuring this out and posting on here! lol

Aren't hooks great?
