Can you do if conditions based on the =action and not just THIS_SCRIPT?

[greigeh]

title says it all, i'm sure you can but not sure on the condition

[Dr.CustUmz]

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'action') {
  Do this
} else {
  Do that
} 


is this what you mean?

This is technically what i mean, but is that string not available as a pre-made if condition? cause to me that looks like to be used in a script or something.

If you're trying to do something in a template then just put the condition part of the if statement in the quotes of the condition attribute of the if tag otherwise.

<if condition="$_REQUEST['do'] == 'action'">
<else />
<endif>

Of course your template would be far neater if you set a the value you wanted output in the script (based on the condition) and then just had the template output the final value.

just for learning =) what i posted is a real if condition, what vbulletin uses is it's own variation of php / html so

in php

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'action') { 
  Do this 
} else { 
  Do that 
}

or even better:

($_REQUEST['do'] == 'action') ? (Do this) : (Do that)

is the same as
vBulletin php/html

<if condition="$_REQUEST['do'] == 'action'">
  do this
<else />
  do that
</if>

all 3 blocks of code are the same and its good to know these ways for plugins / templates
