Simple Conditionals Question

[Rich]

I would go without the column all together. I was just looking for a different way to allow the users the ability to tweak their journals appearance.

I may have a look at the member.php file and see what I can do about adding some of its functionality to the journal code.

Thanks for giving it a look. I was pulling my hair out trying to get it to work.

Don't worry, it works perfect, apart from the conditionals. Then it dies.

Let me know what you come up with.

Ok, I am still playing with this. (lol) I have been trying to get what the USER chose, but all it keeps displaying is what I have chosen. This is what I am using:

<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['field19']=='1'">THE BOX IS CHECKED<else />not checked so this shows</if>

It works, but it shows MY setting on everyone elses journal. If this is the correct condition for showing the users info, then the page is obviously not identifying the users journal in which I am visiting. How can I work around that or is there another way to write the condition so that it does realize i am seeking the info the user inputed for that value?

Everyone but me should be showing the text "not checked so this shows" since they aren't on my test board physically. However, it shows "THE BOX IS CHECKED" which is my setting.

So far I have tried (unsuccessfully):

<if condition="$post[field19]=Right">Right Selected<else />left defaulted</if>
<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo[field19]=Right">Right Selected<else />left defaulted</if>
<if condition="$userinfo[field19]=Right">Right Selected<else />left defaulted</if>

Just bumping this so maybe someone will have a suggestion I haven't already tried.

I'm not too familiar with vbJournal, but here is what I found after a quick search:

$entry: contains information of the entry being viewed
$journalinfo: contains information of the user being viewed

[and FYI]:

$bbuserinfo / $vbulletin->userinfo contains information on the current viewer
$post contains information of the current post/poster

Assuming you want information for the journal's owner, you will have to hack the file a bit... the userfield table is not included in the resultsets.

If you want to go ahead with it, I'll show you where to edit it.

That would be great SirAdrian. I am learning as I go, and I figured I was going to have to edit the PHP file, so show away. lol Thanks.

Try this:

This is from the latest version....

I will give this a whirl right now. I am running the latest of both vb and the journal, so if it works for you, it should work for me as well. I will let you know.

(Thanks for showing me that thread. I hadn't seen that yet.)

Thanks a great deal SirAdrian. That did the trick.
