help with template ifs?

[leif]

Forum URL: rpg.proboards.com

Hi there! I'm using this to show a year, etc in the profile.


{if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Year"}<tr><td width="100%" colspan="2">$[user.mini_custom_field.value] Year {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Prefect"} $[user.mini_custom_field.value] {/if}</td></tr>{/if}


How can I get it to show the Prefect part? It keeps showing up blank. Same part keeps happening for the next line:

{if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Biography Link"}<tr><td width="100%" colspan="2" align="center" style="background-color: #002627;"><span style="color: #FFFFFF;"><a href="$[user.mini_custom_field.value]" target="_blank">bio</a> / {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Plot Link"}<a href="$[user.mini_custom_field.value]" target="_blank">plot</a>{/if} </span></td></tr>{/if}


Thanks!

Hi

Post in the template modifications board.

I went ahead and moved this to the template board for you

Thanks. I tried a bunch of different things and looked through practically everything. Seems this feature doesn't exist. I'll just find a work around or not use it.

{foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]} {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Year"}<tr><td width="100%" colspan="2">$[user.mini_custom_field.value] Year{/if} {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Prefect"} $[user.mini_custom_field.value] {/if}</td></tr>{/foreach}

Try that. I didn't test it so I can't say for sure if it'll work. but I'm pretty sure it should.

Hi there. That does not work, unfortunately. I tried that tactic. You cannot declare a foreach within a foreach. I tried not using foreach, the lines don't display. The code I provided within a foreach only shows the first option but not a second. Your example, sadly shows neither.

It looks like as of now you can't have two variables within one if line.

Where exactly are you placing this? As it works on my test forum.

Here.

{foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}
               {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Year"}<tr><td width="100%" colspan="2" align="center">$[user.mini_custom_field.value] Year {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Prefect"} $[user.mini_custom_field.value] {/if}</td></tr>
               {/if}
               {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Character Age"}<tr><td width="50%"><b>Age:</b></td><td width="50%">$[user.mini_custom_field.value]</td></tr>
               {/if}
               {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Blood Status"}<tr><td width="50%"><b>Purity:</b></td><td width="50%">$[user.mini_custom_field.value]</td></tr>
               {/if}
               {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Relationship Status"}<tr><td width="50%"><b>Relationship Status:</b></td><td width="50%">$[user.mini_custom_field.value]</td></tr>
               {/if}
               {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Special Ability"}<tr><td width="50%"><b>Special Ability:</b></td><td width="50%">$[user.mini_custom_field.value]</td></tr>
               {/if}
               {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Quidditch Position"}<tr><td width="50%"><b>Quidditch Position:</b></td><td width="50%">$[user.mini_custom_field.value]</td></tr>
               {/if}
               {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Clubs"}<tr><td width="50%"><b>Clubs:</b></td><td width="50%">$[user.mini_custom_field.value]</td></tr>
               {/if}
{if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Biography Link"}<tr><td width="100%" colspan="2" align="center" style="background-color: #002627;"><span style="color: #FFFFFF;"><a href="$[user.mini_custom_field.value]" target="_blank">bio</a> / {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Plot Link"}<a href="$[user.mini_custom_field.value]" target="_blank">plot</a>{/if} </span></td></tr>{/if}
{/foreach}

A foreach within each doesn't work. And if one part of your example isn't filled out, there are stray td/tr tags that exist. Using an example based on what you provided:

           {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Year"}<tr><td width="100%" colspan="2" align="center">$[user.mini_custom_field.value] Year {/if}{if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Prefect"} $[user.mini_custom_field.value] test {/if}</td></tr>


Adds an extra td/tr and the placement goes wrong.

Alright. I only added the foreach because I didn't know you had it in something.

I think I finally thought of a workaround. I spent the last sixteen hours banging my head on this. Gonna go test it.




{if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Biography Link"}<tr><td width="100%" colspan="2" align="center" style="background-color: #002627;"><span style="color: #FFFFFF;"><a href="$[user.mini_custom_field.value]" target="_blank">bio</a> {else} <tr><td width="100%" colspan="2" align="center" style="background-color: #002627;"><span style="color: #FFFFFF;"><a onclick="alert('No biography link provided');" target="_blank">bio</a> {/if} / {if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "Plot Link"}<a href="$[user.mini_custom_field.value]" target="_blank">plot</a>{else}<a onclick="alert('No biography link provided');" target="_blank">plot</a> </span></td></tr>


Obviously, ProBoards is a bit inferior to self-hosted and other forums in mini-profiles right now. Oh well, I'm sure PB will have it eventually! Just gotta wait then, it's still early in this version and this is probably a lower priority. ^_^ Thanks. The workaround did not work.

Well if you got it then good. But I don't see how PB is inferior in respect to mini-profiles when you can create your own mini-profile.
