Custom profile field conditionals for check boxes

[WorldCraft]

Hello. I'm trying to get some conditionals working for a Multiple Selection Checkbox profile field I've set.

I tried the following conditional, but it doesn't work with checbox values:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldX] == 'Show Me'">
<script> Do stuff here </script>
</vb:if>

However, it works fine with Radio button values. I am making sure that the fieldX and Field ID's match, and that the option names are matching exactly as well.

Any ideas why it doesn't work with checkboxes?

First option

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldX] & 1">
<script> Do stuff here </script>
</vb:if> 


Second option

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldX] & 2">
<script> Do stuff here </script>
</vb:if> 


Third option

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldX] & 4">
<script> Do stuff here </script>
</vb:if> 


4th option

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldX] & 8">
<script> Do stuff here </script>
</vb:if> 


etc...

Thanks, that works nice. The next thing I'm trying to do is that when User A views User B's profile, User A will see the effects as User B has set them. And vice versa.

The checkboxes they can pick create special effects to make their profile page look nicer.

Similar to how $post['fieldX'] will display information in the user's postbit, is there a condition statement or variable that will do this for user profiles?

Sorry if this request sounds confusing.

I'm not sure if i understand you, are you trying to do this

Just re-worded the post. Sorry, I did word that pretty badly.

I'm trying to give my users bit more freedom with how their profiles look. So I've given them a few checkbox choices they can pick to give them some effects with Javascript.

Is there a statement, or variable, that will show the customizations the user chose when others see their profile, similar to the way that $post['fieldX'] will display customized information in the postbit? But in this case, on the member.php page.

Yes that's exactly what i figure out about an hour go Do you want this conditional to work in a plugin or in a template

[WorldCraft]

Oh nice. Well I was planning to put all of the statements and scripts in the headinclude templates. Could it all be done there, or do you think a plugin would be best?

Edit I found that the method you displayed in the 2nd post is not working for me. It appears to work fine for the first 2 check boxes, but if I pick any further choices it will run the incorrect script, or multiple scripts, as if it's ignoring the condition. Even if I only choose 1 check box. It's weird because it only behaves in that way for box #3 and onwards.

Can you show me your code? And i think it's better to do this in a plugin since i understand you just want to add js files to the page, am i right?

[WorldCraft]

Yes, but the obstacle I'm at is getting conditionals that check if a certain checkbox or checkboxes are selected.

For a quick concept test I put the following in my headinclude template:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[field16] & 1">
<script> alert("You chose checkbox 1!") </script>
</vb:if>


<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[field16] & 2">
<script> alert("You chose checkbox 2!") </script>
</vb:if>


<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[field16] & 3">
<script> alert("You chose checkbox 3!") </script>
</vb:if>


<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[field16] & 4">
<script> alert("You chose checkbox 4!") </script>
</vb:if>


<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo[field16] & 5">
<script> alert("You chose checkbox 5!") </script>
</vb:if>

It doesn't seem to work properly. For example, if I choose checkbox 1, it will display alerts 1, 3, and 5. If I choose checkbox 2, it will display alerts 2, and 3. Checkbox 3 will display alerts 4 and 5. Checkboxes 4 and 5 will not run any script. I'm pretty new at coding so I'm not finding any obvious pattern and they seem to be executing at random.

You must redouble the number each time...

e.g. (1,2,4,8,16,32,64 etc..)
