Examples

Let's say you wanted something to show in an html file for registered users only, then you could use the following

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_REGISTERED_USER -->Hello, welcome to blahblah.com<!-- ENDIF -->

Which will only show to registered users.

or

Code: Select all

<!-- IF FORUM_ID eq 2 -->Welcome to Forum Number 2<!-- ENDIF -->

Which will only show if the viewer is within Forum Id #2.

You can also combine the IF's

Code: Select all

<!-- IF FORUM_ID eq 2 and S_REGISTERED_USER -->Welcome to Forum ID #2 and you are a registered user<!-- ENDIF -->

Also, you can use the following operands as well

or ( || )
and ( && )
eq ( == )

You can use either the language ones (or, and, eq) or the other ones ( ||, &&, ==).

Remember each time you have a <!-- IF something --> statement you must also have an ending <!-- ENDIF --> statement, else you will get errors when the templating engine does it's stuff.

this could be copied to tuturials.

is there an IF statement like <!-- IF U_ACP --> but instead of if admin to be if not admin ?
or is there another way to show a link or some content to everybody beside administrators ?

[Steve]

use

Code: Select all

<!-- IF not U_ACP -->some text!<!-- ENDIF -->

[TiTex]

thx for the quick reply but i used if else like this
IF U_ACP some text ELSE some other text ENDIF

[Steve]

yes that works so you used :

Code: Select all

<!-- IF U_ACP --><!-- ELSE -->some text!<!-- ENDIF -->

both codes work in the same way but the above code would be more usefull if you wanted to show 2 messages for example:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF U_ACP -->Good day admin please dont pump.<!-- ELSE -->Good day everyone,admin has been told not to pump.<!-- ENDIF -->

[TiTex]

yes , that's what i was trying to acomplish ... a message for admin eyes only and another for everybody else

[Wildthinks]

is there an IF statement for groups?
I'd like to hide some profile fields - so only users in specific groups should see it in the topics.

[Steve]

try:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF GROUP_ID eq 3 -->

change the number 3 to suit your needs
multiple groups would be

Code: Select all

<!-- IF GROUP_ID eq 3 or 4 -->

no you have to do a little more than that i think Steve! I guess wildthinks you didn't search the board hard enough look here!

Thank you =)

@cisco: Think you're right... after searching through german phpBB support, I was so tired... I think I haven't seen it
