Here is the if statements that was posted by RMcGirr83 originally. Plus some addons by Stoker.

<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN --> If a user is logged in
<!-- IF S_REGISTERED_USER --> If user is logged in and not a bot
<!-- IF S_AUTOLOGIN_ENABLED --> If auto login is allowed
<!-- IF S_BOARD_DISABLED --> If board is disabled
<!-- IF S_IS_BOT --> If a bot
<!-- IF S_USER_PM_POPUP --> If pop up pm is on
<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_SEARCH --> If displays search
<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_PM --> If display a PM
<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_MEMBERLIST --> If display memberlist.php
<!-- IF U_MCP --> If Moderator
<!-- IF U_ACP --> If Administrator
<!-- IF S_IS_LINK --> If its a link
<!-- IF S_UNREAD_FORUM --> If forum is unread
<!-- IF S_READ_FORUM --> If forum is read
<!-- IF S_LOCKED_FORUM --> If forum is locked
<!-- IF S_LIST_SUBFORUMS --> If there is a list of subforums
<!-- IF S_SUBFORUMS --> If a subforum
<!-- IF S_IS_CAT --> If a category
<!-- IF S_IS_POST --> If a post
<!-- IF FORUM_ID --> Displays the code between the switches if the user is viewing a particular forum.
<!-- IF SCRIPT_NAME == "index" -->some content<!-- ENDIF --> (Others you can use, viewtopic,viewforum,memberlist,faq etc)
<!-- IF S_USERNAME eq 'Stoker' -->Some content here<!-- ENDIF -->


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 ?

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 -->

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.

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 -->
