Using conditionals and vb code on VB4 CMS pages

[princesspepper]

Hi there. Just posted this on .com, but after searching, I'm not sure if I should post it here instead... it's a bit confusing knowing where to post what... but here goes

I have some code on a page that I want to display only to certain usergroups and I also want to include their username if they are allowed to see it. How would I write this, and do I have to use a PHP or Static HTML content type in order to do it?

This is what I can gather I should do... is it correct?...

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6,7)">


<div>
<p>Hello {vb:raw bbuserinfo.username},</p>


<p>Stuff for admins is displayed here</p>
</div>


<vb:else />


<p>I'm sorry. You are not authorized to view this page.</p>


</vb:if>

at the moment this is not working if I put the code in an HTML content page, so I'm not sure what's going wrong.

Thanks for any help in advance!

An html content page (static page?) may only contain straight html. Conditions are not real html. If you want a page that interacts with your users, then you would need a PHP Direct Eval page. And, you should do the condition via the permissions area of the CMS (admincp > vbulletin cms > permissions) and only allow certain usergroups to see that section.

I tried putting the username code in a php content type and that didn't parse. How would I go about doing this?

Without seeing your exact code, I can't tell you what you did wrong. Can you please post it?

The code is what I posted originally. I used in in both a static HTML page, and a php page. Neither parsed.

I have managed to make my page now using the misc.php?do=page&page=MyPage

with custom_MyPage as a custom template
