If custom field is set to x then do y

[eviljoker7075]

Hi, I have setup a radio button custom field. In my postbit template I'd like to add some code that shows a line of text next to each users post depending on what option they have selected in the custom field.

Basically the logic is:
If the user who made this post has option 1 set then show [this piece of code]. If they have option 2 selected then show [this other piece of code].

Can anyone help me write that?

It should be something like:

<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX'] == 1">
Something
<vb:else />
Something else
</vb:if>

and of course you'd use the actual field number in place of X.

Thanks for the quick response, I can't seem to get that code working though. Here's what I have:

A custom field, of 'single-selection radio button' type. It has three options 'one', 'two' and 'three.

The code I added to my postbit template:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['field13'] == 1">
    One selected
<vb:if condition="$post['field13'] == 2">
    Two selected
<vb:else />
    Something other than one or two selected
</vb:if> 


I have got option 1 ('one') selected but the test that's returned in the page is "Something other than one or two selected"

Oh, right. If the options are 'one', 'two' and 'three' then you have to check for those strings, like

<vb:if condition="$post['field13'] == 'one'">
    One selected
<vb:elseif condition="$post['field13'] == 'two'" />
    Two selected
<vb:else />
    Something other than one or two selected
</vb:if>

Edit: also there's an elseif you can use, I changed the above to show how you'd use it.

Ah, sorry I should have been clearer from the start. I also noticed I'd nested my if statements incorrectly. The final snippet I used looks like:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['field13'] == 'One'">
    One selected
</vb:if> 


Thanks very much
