using custom vars in conditionals

[White_Snake]

This Article says you can not use {vb:raw var} in template conditionals, but, what if i *REALLY* need to use it?

i need to do this in my templates:

<if condition="{vb.raw prettypicture} == 4">
		<img src="images/picture/pic_{vb.raw stockimage}.png" alt="pretty pictures" />
</vb:if>

thanks

You would use $prettypicture in a condition instead of {vb:raw prettypicture}. Just make sure you registered the variable for use in the template though.
