[solved] Anyone know how? "IF postcount less than X"

[Yukan]

In a style you can use IF statements to determine who sees what, well...

Code: Select all

<!-- IF "postcount higher then X" -->

I'd like a link to only appear to people with X posts or higher. Could anyone help me
with this? thank you in advance, I hope this is posted correctly. I know the above code
wont work, its just a plain English version of what i want it to do. Again thanks for any
help.

In your PHP:

Code: Select all

$template->assign_vars(array(
'X_POSTS' => ($user->data['user_posts'] > $min_posts) ? true : false;
));

Your Template:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF X_POSTS -->
code here if they have greater than $min_posts
<!-- ELSE -->
code here if they have less than or equal to $min_posts
<!-- ENDIF -->

You could also do a single alternative:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF X_POSTS -->
code here if they have greater than $min_posts
<!-- ENDIF -->

And you can negate it:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF not X_POSTS -->
code here if they dont have greater than $min_posts
<!-- ENDIF -->

You could do something like the following... I'm not sure on the exact variables, but this is how you'd do it.

Open the page you want to restrict something in (the .php file).

Do something like the following (not sure exactly about the variable):

Code: Select all

if($user->data['user_posts'] >= 50)
{
   $template->assign_var('S_POST_CHECK', true);
}

Now in the template file (.html) do something like...

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_POST_CHECK -->
Stuff to show to users with 50 or more posts
<!-- ENDIF -->

That should work in theory. Basically, just check your database user table to see what the row is called that has the number of posts made by the user.

EDIT by way of post review: ahh, Syntax beat me to it. Well, it's the same idea, but use his code, since it'll probably work better.
