$post['usergroupid'] and <if> Questions

[UberMensch]

I'm trying to do this in the postbit_legacy:

<if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == 8"> (If the post OWNER's usergroup id is 8)
  <!-- HTML here -->
<else />
  <!-- More Code -->
</if>

I'm pretty sure the "$post['usergroupid']" part is wrong. Is there a list of all the $post/$bbuserinfo variables?

Also, which conditions are allowed in the <if> statements? Are they similar/the same as php?

[Freesteyelz]

Conditional for Usergroup is:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, x,y,z)">
  <!-- HTML here -->
<else />
  <!-- More Code -->
</if>

Just change the x,y,z to the Usergroup ID's. Remove the extras.

<if condition="is_member_of($post, x,y,z)">
  <!-- HTML here -->
<else />
  <!-- More Code -->
</if>

I believe he was wanting to base it off the poster (as he is editing postbit_legacy).

Ahh...I see.

Thanks very much! So conditions are basically the same as php?

Also, what other things can I use with $post?

[Dismounted]

Whatever's in the post array. Also, keep in mind there is no "else if" template condition, due to the format of which vBulletin parses them.

can't you nest a if inside of a else like this thou? I haven't found the need to test the theory but i belive it possible

PHP Code:

<if condition="this">
  Do Something
<else />
 <if condition="that"
   Do Something Else
 </if>
</if>

Yes, you can nest conditionals, but they aren't "true" else ifs.

I've been doing something like that for such things as an avatar. If Flash then custom avatar is overrided; if custom avatar then default avatar is overrided; if Flash and custom avatar is false then default avatar will display.
