Want to bring your new product onto a new level and use vBulletin options as well?Here we go

To create a simple on/off option just enter the vBulletin option admincp.Now insert the values for your desired option,when you get to the type sellect boolean.I won't describe the other types here.Boolean returns values true/1 if the condition was correct and false/0 if it wasn't.

So the variable for a vb option is $vbulletin->options['OPTIONNAME'] in plugins and php code and for templates use $vboptions[OPTIONNAME] (notice,no apostrophes in templates).So to make a simple condition:

PHP Code:
if ($vbulletin->options['OPTIONNAME'])
{
echo "Correct";
}
else
{
echo "False";
} 
If specifies the condition inside the brackets.If you use just the variable without the comparism sign (==) then it will think that you are checking if it is 1.

Oh I forgot,Yes = 1 and No = 0

Did you notice the else?That is executed if the condition is anything else than what we are checking with.But you can extend your code with another elseif

PHP Code:
if ($vbulletin->options['OPTIONNAME'] == '1')
{
echo "Correct";
}
elseif ($vbulletin->options['OPTIONNAME'] == '0')
{
echo "False";
}
else
{
echo 'This will never happen :)';
} 
This was a very basic introduction into using PHP conditionals with vBulletin boolean (Yes/No) options .

I understand it all except the part where you find and identify which conditions can be used and where/when/etc.

[QUOTE=Ziki;1144546]This has to start with an if condition and end with an else.elseifs belong between those two./QUOTE]
No it doesn't. You can end with just an if or elseif. You only need to start with an if.

He just means you shouldn't put an elseif after an else. That would result in an 'UNEXPECTED ...' error.

So would this work?
Code:
if ($vbulletin->options['show_motm'] == '1')
{
Yes
}
else
{
No
}
Or do we put the HTML in the place where code 1 and code 2 was?
Then, how do I install it? I am trying to make a Member of the Month code for my board and all this is confusing for a newbie to XML/Programming stuff for vBulletin Options.
