ok i want to show photoplog thumbs inside just 1 forum, forum 15 right.

this is the code photoplog says to use

$photoplog[minithumbnails]

i tried this and no worky i guess cause you can't call something like that in a standard conditional?

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 15">$photoplog[minithumbnails]</if>

EDIT: and they say this code is only for forumhome and when i add it to navbar template it still only shows on forumhome

[Michael Biddle]

That is because the $forum variable is on the index page, not the other ones. Of course you could add your own query to global_start to get the forum id though

[Caddyman]

do what? im a noob, help mike!!

[Caddyman]

anything? i need this for somebody

[SticKer]

Thanks for the link Brandon.

btw does the condition's remain same in the latest 3.7 or are we going to see any changes.

[Brandon Sheley]

I need a few conditions, hopefully someone can help me

I need one that will only show something on the portal "vbavanced" and
one that will show to everything else, the forumhome, forumdisplay and showthread

thanks

Here is how i do the dynamic forum button on homepage and home button on forum page (breaks added for clarity)

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'">

<a href="http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f18/forums.php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f18/$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/links_forum.gif" alt="Delaware Forum" width="75" height="39" border="0"></img></a>

<else />

<a href="http://www.talkdelaware.com/"><img src="http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f18/$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/links_home.gif" alt="Delaware Home" width="75" height="39" border="0"></img></a>

</if>


get it?

Don't know if it's already on the thread: Restrict code in the templates to certain browsers. - vBulletin.org Forum.

Try this:-

<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 15">$photoplog[minithumbnails]</if>

$foruminfo variable is available and should work.

[Caddyman]

i will check that out if i can remember what site i was trying to do that on, i think it was the porsche forum, ill ask him if he still wants this...

[veenuisthebest]

oops lol.. I didn't notice the date !!

[Caddyman]

no no it's still relevant, the guy i work for on that site is very cool and patient, i bet he still wants it....ill check it out.

[veenuisthebest]

oh okayy chase, he seems toooo cool

anyways, do try this also:-

<if condition="$forumid == X">

I just tried both of them in navbar and they work.

get it?

so I think I can use this to show on the vba pages, how do I make it NOT show on the vba pages as well?

thanks

[veenuisthebest]

ya you can use it show just on vba pages. To do just the opposite i.e. not to show on vba page but show everywhere else, just inverse it.

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'adv_index'">

[Caddyman]

yeah add the exclamation point!

I don't understand?

This condition will show on the vba page only, how do I make it show on all but the vba page?

thanks

[Caddyman]

adding the exclamation point makes it show on anything that is NOT that script....

[veenuisthebest]

you didn't notice the difference in the two:-

For ONLY vba page:-

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'">

For ALL pages EXCEPT vba page:-

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'adv_index'">

[Brandon Sheley]

ah, your right, I didn't notice the difference

thanks guys

[popowich]

Is there one for if the thread was created by member X?

[betrocker]

What i want to do is to show latest active thread title in particular forum (2 in.ex) on my forumhome...so which condition should i use?

Maybe this:

<if condition="$thread['forumid'] == 2">$thread[title]</if>

???

[kenfuzed]

Could someone tell me what the condition would be to only show something (i.e. adsense) to to users with a certain rank or post count?

Basically I want to only show some specific ads or content to those who have post count of less than X amount of post. Otherwise I would settle for only showing content to users who belong to a specific user rank.

BTW, this is for a 3.6.4 forum.

Thanks for any advice!

I cannot think of a conditional based on post count.

The only way to successfully do this is to create a new usegroup with a promotion based on post count, then show the ads to that usergroup.

Ok, I was hoping that since users are already promoted to ranks based on their post count (Newbie, Rookie, Veteran, etc) I could leverage these rank groups already established.

Excellent post! Very helpful. I appreciate your help!

How do i make something show up just for a certain user id, but viewable to all users except guests??

i tried this

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] ==231"></if> but it shows it for everyone but only for me. no what im looking for! lol

[ArnyVee]

You can use the ! to tell it to not show it to the x usergroup but show it to everyone else.

<if condition="$post['usergroupid'] != 6"></if>

How do you place multiple usergroup IDs here? Would you just put two numbers separated by a comma in the place of the "6" in that example?

Edited: Actually used this one which helped me for what I was looking to do

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2, 3)"></if>

Hi,
Thanks for the great resource...............

[Phantasma]

I need to check if a reply post is owned by the thread starter and if the thread is held in specific forums, if these conditions are true then an image is added to the bottom of the reply post.

I'm trying to do this using this conditional but it's not working, can anyone see why?

<if condition="in_array($thread['forumid'], array(28,29,32,10,39,43,41)) && $threadinfo['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
    <div><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/moddev.gif" width="100" height="21" border="0" alt="" class="inlineimg" /></div>
</if>

*********** edit ************

Lynne at vB.org has found the problem, the $threadinfo should have been $thread
