How do I make this IF statement?

[Dan27]

Hi, I am making a little mod for my site and I need an IF statement but I don't know what I
need to use.

This little mod would show an image on the viewtopic page in the list of profile information
and the images would be shown if a user has a certain username.

So something like this: (even though this one doesn't work)

Code: Select all

<!-- IF postrow.POST_AUTHOR_FULL == 'Dan27' -->

Any help please???

Change == to eq

[Dan27]

What just "eq" or "equal"?

Thanks

[MasterZ]

eq

[Dan27]

This is what I have so far and it wont show, can you provide the correct statement please?

Code: Select all

<!-- IF postrow.POST_AUTHOR_FULL eq 'Dan27' --><dd>This is just a test</dd><!--ENDIF -->

I have that in my viewtopic and it wont show up.

Thanks.

You're using the wrong template var. POST_AUTHOR_FULL also includes HTML with the usercolor as well -- I don't know what template var you need though, I couldn't say.

I should know, because I used template pranks way back in the old days to get the site admin on a site I worked on.
Some of the things I did...just beautiful.

I think POST_AUTHOR is the cleaned version of the username (no HTML etc.).

Code: Select all

<!-- IF postrow.POST_AUTHOR eq 'Dan27' --><dd>This is just a test</dd><!--ENDIF -->

Oh, btw, == and eq are the same thing

If something doesn't show try purging your cache and enabling debug.

You could also refresh the template

That was not the issue.
