do not display certain attachments.

[Bernd]

I'm trying to write a simple if statement to disallow the forum from displaying image attachments with the name "thumb.jpg".

$attachment[filename] returns the name of the image, so that's working just fine. However, the if statement below displays the text thumbnail at all times. What am I doing wrong here? (the code below is stated in one of the templates). I've just started looking into php

PHP Code:

<if $attachment[filename]="thumb.jpg">
thumbnail
</if>

Try:

PHP Code:

<if $attachment[filename] == "thumb.jpg">
thunbnail
</if> 


For comparison, you need to use 2 equals signs (==). 1 will just set $attachment[filename] to "thumb.jpg" instead of comparing it.

Thanks,
ALan.

I've tried that and it still returns thumbnail no matter what.

Are statements somehow limited in templates? I haven't seen any if statements in other template files except for "if condition etc".

[Alan @ CIT]

What template are you editing, and where are you putting the edit?

[Bernd]

It's a template from a custom hack, but it contains the following

PHP Code:


$attachment[filename] 

<a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]"<if condition="$show['newwindow']"> target="_blank"</if>>
<img class="thumbnail" src="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;stc=1&amp;thumb=0&amp;d=$attachment[thumbnail_dateline]" border="0" align="center"></a>
&nbsp;<if condition="$show['br']"><br /><br /></if> 


I added $attachment[filename] in the above code to see if it pulls the file names of the attached files, and it does...so the if statement you provided should work? Don't no why it doesn't.

[Alan @ CIT]

ooops, sorry - type on my part. It should look something like:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$attachment[filename]==thumb.jpg"> 
thunbnail 
</if> 


Take a look at the template conditionals section here http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/ if that doesn't work.

Thanks for your help.

PHP Code:

<if condition="$attachment[filename] == "thumb.jpg""> 


turned out to be the correct if statement
