Conditonal Questions?

[d3f]

I was just woundering if there was anyway to do a conditional for "Template is Forumhome" or "Template is not showthread" so I could add content that appears to everyone but make it only show up in my sidebar on certain templates/pages.

Thanks in advanced.

On topic you should be able to use <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'"></if>

Thanks dean, this works great but dosnt use the template name, it uses the "define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'index');" line from each file, is there anyway to use a conditonal based on if the template name, perhaps if you have Add Template Name in HTML Comments enabled? or would this require some sort of code edit.

i don't see what you are trying.

if you are editing the template, you should know which template you edit, and therefore a conditional in that template related to a template name would be useless, because it would be either always true or always false.

you can just use a conditional for checking which script is running, and that would be Deans way.

Or am i getting something totally wrong now?

ok say I defined a template in global.php with something like

eval('$mytemplate = "' . fetch_template('mytemplate') . '";');

as a global template

now lets say somewhere I want to use

in forumhome and some other specific templates

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6">
$mytemplate
</if>

now in my header I want something like

<if conditon="templatepresent == mytemplate">
some other content assoiated with mytemplate but does not reside within it
</if>

I want to know if thats possible.

check THIS_SCRIPT, which is defined in each php file. index.php and showthread.php will have a different value for THIS_SCRIPT.

ah i think i got ya now.
But nope that's not possible, you have to use the THIS_SCRIPT constant for that.
