Creating condition statements

[tonyjms2005]

Hello

I am wondering if it is possible to create a conditioning statement for a new user's first login for example:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_FIRST_LOGIN -->

Can anyone help with this as I believe I must add some coding to the functions files.

Thanks

Antony

In virtually any file in phpBB, you can call

Code: Select all

$template->assign_vars(array(
 'S_SOME_BOOL' => (!empty($use_pcre)) ? true : false,
));

This would create the condition <!-- IF S_SOME_BOOL -->

Thanks, just one other question, is there a condition statement already in place in phpbb3 to represent 0 posters.

Thanks

Do you mean a function that returns all the users with 0 posts?

I think the correct place to look would be
acp_inactive
acp_prune


What exactly are you trying to do?

Hi

Thanks for the reply

Basically I have been creating step by step tips and instructions on my site.

But I only want certain objects visible to zero posters.

For example:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF_S_ZERO_POSTER -->some object<!-- ENDIF -->

I know how to implement this on the template but the coding for the function is a bit out of my depth

Thanks

um...something like

Code: Select all

$template->assign_var( 'S_USER_ZERO_POSTS', ( !empty( $user->data['user_posts'] ) && ( $user->data['user_posts']  == 0 ) ) ? true : false );

?

hi

I tried that but I get this error:

Code: Select all

Notice: Undefined variable: template in /misc/39/000/169/186/5/user/web/tributetothem.com/test area/phpBB3/includes/functions.php on line 4643

Fatal error: Call to a member function assign_var() on a non-object in /misc/39/000/169/186/5/user/web/tributetothem.com/test area/phpBB3/includes/functions.php on line 4643

Any ideas?

Thanks

that doesnt go in functions.php it goes in the file you are trying to use it in

example ( in index.php ) etc...because functions.php doesnt have $user set as a global or $template either only inside different functions which give it local scope to that specific function. Where exactly are you trying to add this code to?

[imkingdavid]

Yeah in my index.php I use:

Code: Select all

if($user->data['user_posts'] < 1)
{
    $template->assign_var('S_NO_POSTS', true);
}
 

And that works fine. Then in the template file (.html) that you want it in, just put

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_NO_POSTS -->
Code to show 0 posters
<!-- ENDIF -->

Hey, i'm very sorry to hijack this thread, but i think i would like something very similar, but am utterly new at all this.


I would like to create conditional statements in memberlist.php and perhaps view topic.

IF a users ID is in a certain table, then return yes, else no.

This is so i can put user status on their profile, ie Is user chatting: Yes/no, are they viewing pictures in the Gallery: Yes/No. Are they playing games in the arcade: Yes/No. etc etc

if you could help me, i'd be very grateful.
Thank you

There is a couple of ways you can go about this, but i think the simplest one is creating a function that inputs the info in the database then calling that function in every page kinda like $user->setup( ) does.

first you would add a new field to the users table

like if your in arcade.php you would do
member_currently_in( 'Arcade' )

and the function would be something like

function member_currently_in ( $page = '' )
SQL code to update users table and set current_page to the page value
returns

then in those two pages, you would simple add u.user_page to the rows of user data, and then add the variable..
