It seemed like a really simply thing to do but so far I just keep hitting a brick wall.
All I want to do is to create a custom page that I can edit in templates (which is fine and easily done) which then can display different options/content depending upon the user id and/or group of the member viewing the page.
I started with this sort of thing..
if({$mybb->user['uid']} = 1){
do something;
}
But it doesn't work. And neither does anything else I try.
Please help..
Are you creating a completely new page in php? Or just in the templates? If it's in php you need to require once global.php and set the globals $mybb and $db.
In this example I was using an existing template to experiment with. I could use the {$mybb->user['uid']} variable and print it out so I knew it was correct but for the life of me I just couldn't get the if statement to make any sense with it.
Without a plugin you can only display variables inside templates, you cannot include PHP code.
For your needs you could create a new PHP page, following the advice of Jammerx2 and "need to require once global.php and set the globals $mybb and $db."
Fair enough
And thanks..
How then, can I use java inside a template to make decisions based upon the mybb variables such as {$mybb->user['uid']}? Because as I said, if({$mybb->user['uid']} = 1){ doesn't work
comparisons in PHP need to be == not just =
if({$mybb->user['uid']} == 1){
do something;
}
Thanks
But how can I use php variables in a template using java?
Basically, I want to write in javascript in a template that can use the mybb variables and make decisions based on them.
Such as
if userid=1
do this
else
do something else
end;
But java can't make any sense of the mybb variables..
As an example, I'm trying to get the following to work in the header_welcomeblock_member_admin template.
— <a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$config['admin_dir']}/index.php">{$lang->welcome_admin}</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
var userid = "<?php echo $mybb->user['uid'] ?>";
if(userid == "1"){
document.writeln('Hello User One') ;
}
else{
document.writeln('You're Not User One!!');
}
</script>
But it won't..
Why you need the php tag for that? How about this?
var userid = "{$mybb->user['uid']}";

I think you might be a genius
