if condition problem

[micheal332001]

I have a problem with this

<vb:if condition="$gameinfo[uid] == $userid">

i have both these vars in the PHP file and show when i put print but they dont work in the html if condition statment.

If i put this in like so

<vb:if condition="{vb:var gameinfouid}

you get an error page show when trying to save the template.

Could you please let me know how to get my vars to work in the new template system.

$gameinfo[uid] == $userid

Have you registered the variables for use in the template ?

you cannot use this {vb:var gameinfouid} in a if statment you will get errors when saving the template.

I think you have to make the second condition on php side

PHP Code:

if (gameinfo[uid] == $userid)
{
$show['foo'] == true;
} 


And then in template

<vb:if condition="$show['foo']">

why not use in your php file

PHP Code:

$show['something'] = iif($gameinfo[uid] == $userid , true , flase); 


and in your template

<vb:if condition="$show['something']">
html code ....
</vb:if>

Edit : excuse me ragtek I saw your answer later

I wouldn't use iif, use instead the ternary operator because iif is deprecated

PHP Code:

// #############################################################################
/**
* Essentially a wrapper for the ternary operator.
*
* @deprecated    Deprecated as of 3.5. Use the ternary operator.
*
* @param    string    Expression to be evaluated
* @param    mixed    Return this if the expression evaluates to true
* @param    mixed    Return this if the expression evaluates to false
*
* @return    mixed    Either the second or third parameter of this function
*/
function iif($expression, $returntrue, $returnfalse = '') 


PHP Code:

$show['foo'] = ($gameinfo['id'] == $userid ? true: false);

I have tryed this and if i put a echo or print on the $show['something'] it will show if its true or flase,
but in the template its not seeing it and outputting the info its showing it as $show['something'].

here is my PHP code

PHP Code:


$show['something'] = iif($gameinfo[uid] == $userid , true , flase);  

    $templater = vB_Template::create('gamesswap_left_block_bit');
    $templater->register('lm_catslist', $lm_catslist);
    $templater->register('lm_myaccount', $lm_myaccount);
    $left_block .= $templater->render();

    $templater = vB_Template::create('gamesswap_featured_block_bit');
    $templater->register('cb_newestgames', $cb_newestgames);
    $templater->register('cb_topseller', $cb_topseller);
    $featured_block .= $templater->render();

    $templater = vB_Template::create('gamesswap_view_game_page_bit');
    $templater->register('gname', $gameinfo[gname]);
    $templater->register('gimage', $gameinfo[image]);
    $templater->register('gdescription', $gdescription);
    $templater->register('gaurther', $gameinfo[aurther]);
    $templater->register('gpub', $gameinfo[pub]);
    $templater->register('gameregion', $gameregion);
    $templater->register('gcondition', $gameinfo[condition]);
    $templater->register('ggage', $gameinfo[gage]);
    $templater->register('ginstructions', $gameinfo[instructions]);
    $templater->register('pictures', $pictures);
    $templater->register('gswap1', $swaplist[swap1]);
    $templater->register('gswap2', $swaplist[swap2]);
    $templater->register('gswap3', $swaplist[swap3]);
    $templater->register('gswap4', $swaplist[swap4]);
    $templater->register('gswap5', $swaplist[swap5]);
    $templater->register('gswap6', $swaplist[swap6]);
    $templater->register('swap_status', $gameinfo[swap_status]);
    $templater->register('gid', $gameinfo[gid]);
    $current .= $templater->render();

    $templater = vB_Template::create('gamesswap');
    $templater->register_page_templates();
      $navbits = construct_navbits(array("gamesswap.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] => $page_title));
      $navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);
    $templater->register('navbar', $navbar);
    $templater->register('page_title', $page_title);
    $templater->register('current', $current);
    $templater->register('cm_catslist', $cm_catslist);
    $templater->register('left_block', $left_block);
    $templater->register('lm_search', $lm_search);
    $templater->register('featured_block', $featured_block);
    print_output($templater->render()); 


Here is my template code

   <vb:if condition="$show['something']"> 
   <vb:else />
<table border="0" width="100%" align="center">
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" class="blocksubhead" width="50%" align="center">{vb:raw vbphrase.options}</td>
</tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="alt1" width="50%" align="center"><vb:if condition="$swap_status1 > 1"> 
    {vb:raw swap_status}
   <vb:else />
    <form action="gamesswap.php?do=swap" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" target="_self">
<input type="hidden" name="gid" value="{vb:raw gid}">
<input type="submit" value="{vb:raw vbphrase.gamesswap_view_game_swap}">
</form>
   </vb:if>
</td>
    <td class="alt1" width="50%" align="center">
    <form action="gamesswap.php?do=question" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" target="_self">
<input type="hidden" name="gid" value="{vb:raw gid}">
<input type="submit" value="{vb:raw vbphrase.gamesswap_view_game_question}">
</form>
</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</vb:if>

But the if statment is still not working.
