If (guest) then (hide div)

[Crab]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a small plugin project, i've been working the whole day either learning JS or coding this small project.

I'm stuck on something that I knownis really simple, can someone please help me and correct my code?

My code :

{if$[current_user.is_guest]
function hide {
document.getElementById('clicker_div').style.display = "none";
}
{/if}

So i'm trying to say, if they are a guest then hide div clicker_div

Can someone please explain what i'm doing wrong and how to rectify this issue?

Cheers
Crab.

This is not a plugin issue, your syntax is wrong. First of all:

{if $[current_user.is_guest]}

^ note the space and end bracket

Second of all all javascript MUST be between <script> tags.

Lastly, this is unnecessary, you can just put the div in a member statement

{if $[current_user.is_member]}

clicker div here

{/if}

Ahh, I was over complicating it

Thankyou so much, I'll fix my code later today

Problem..

This is my code :



It's currently only meant to display an image if they are a member. It's not displaying an image at all..

Why is that?

OH. Okay so. I totally misunderstood you. Based on your post using the {if} variables I assumed you were working in templates, rather than building a plugin from scratch, my mistake!

You can't use template variables outside of the templates like that. I'm not really all that familiar with Javascript, but it's my understanding that you will have to write a js code that will include the 'if member' component in js syntax, rather than in template syntax.

^ Here is the proboards js API.

It looks like the format you'll want to use is:

pb.NAME_OF_CLASS.NAME_OF_FUNCTION(PARAMETERS);

So my best guess would be something along the lines of:

pb.current_user.is_member(div here);

I'm not entirely 100% sure that's correct, but that'll be the direction you'll want to head in.

Or even..

if(pb.data('user').is_logged_in == 1)

and close the if statement with..

}

rather than {/if}

I'll try this now, thanks
