conditional for "who is online"

[moonclamp]

I've created a usergroup for people who's contact info I want hidden (email form, messenger details etc) regardless of what they have entered before.

I've got <if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 15"><else /> for the templates that they might see

I've got <if condition="$userinfo[usergroupid] == 15"><else /> for the memberinfo template

I've got <if condition="$post[usergroupid] == 15"><else /> for the postbit template

However I can't find anything that works for the who's online page

<if condition="$vboptions[usergroupid] == 15"></else> doesn't seem to do anything, neither do any of the above.

Any suggestions?

Try:

<if condition="is_member_of($post,15)">
<else />
Who's online codes here...
</if>

The $post is the display conditional. Meaning Usergroup 15 will not have their info (e.g., e-mail, IM's) displayed in Who's Online.

*Note:
$post = Content that's displayed on page.
$bbuserinfo = Restriction or allowance to the end user (the one who's viewing the page).

Cheers, I've tried that like this and it doesn't do a thing, this is in the whosonlinebit template

<if condition="is_member_of($post,15)"><else />
$userinfo[aimicon]
$userinfo[icqicon]
$userinfo[msnicon]
$userinfo[yahooicon]
</if>

You have it in reversed that's why. It should be:

<if condition="is_member_of($post,15)">
<else /> 
$userinfo[aimicon]
$userinfo[icqicon]
$userinfo[msnicon]
$userinfo[yahooicon]
</if>

In between the <if> and <else /> is what you do not want to display for Usergroup 15.

doh ... I need to sleep more

Edit: No I don't, that hides everything for everyone

That code will work on most vB pages. I'm wondering, then, if the conditional can't detect the Usergroups that show up on Who's Online. If that's the case then a template conditional may not help; you'll may need to look at a PHP edit.

Yeah that's what i'm wondering too. Thanks for helping though.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of much help. If you do find a solution please post back so others can benefit from it.

AFAIK, the WOL uses $userinfo, not $post, changing that should work.

That's what I tried in the firstplace.

if condition="$userinfo[usergroupid] == 15">

doesn't work so I tried this

<if condition="is_member_of($userinfo,15)">

and still nothing, I'm thinking that online.php needs something adding to it.
