MyBB Community Forums

Hi, I'm trying to do something fairly easy but I'm not sure how I should go about doing it with MyBB. What I'm trying to do is create an IF/ELSE statement in PHP that would only show certain fields if they have been filled out by a user. For example on the member profile page it shows all the messenger ID's. What I want is to only show them if they have entered something under the field. So if someone entered their MSN it would show it, if it was left empty then it wouldn't be shown. Can I just use PHP within the template files or do I actually have to go into the PHP files?

There's a plugin that allows PHP in templates: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-31860.html

Ah, alright. I installed it but I haven't got it to work just yet. I'll keep playing around with it and see what I can do. Just in case are there any other known methods?

I did that with PHP In Templates plugin. I prefer using conditional than PHP.

Humm.. I've been hearing a lot about conditionals. I'm still fairly new to all this so would you have any resources I could use to learn about conditionals in MyBB?
