Creating a user set up navigation

[Boy_Wonder]

Included a picture as guests can't actually see the set up fully. So here's the site: wearehuman.boards.net/
Let me walk through line by line in effect what's right/what's wrong:
Title - Right
Plain text line - Correct (so the intro)
Link to Dashboard - Correct
Fishing Camp Pilgrim Robmin - wrong shouldn't be there

The links below should be showing as just the link name not the link followed by the link name.

Here's the code:
<div class="cust-nav-shower container" id="cust-nav-toggle"><div id="cust-nav-title" class="title-bar"><h2>Your Navigation</h2></div>{if $[current_user.is_member]}If you input some links and names in your profile page they will show up here <br />{else}Sorry guest - this is a member only feature<br />{/if}<a href="/page/dashboard">Dashboard</a> <br />

{foreach $[current_user.custom_field]}

{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 1"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 1 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]{/if}</a>

{elseif $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 2"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 2 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]{/if}</a>

{elseif $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 3"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 3 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]{/if}</a>

{elseif $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 4"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 4 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]{/if}</a>

{/if}{/foreach}

</div>

Can anyone see if I've newb'd anywhere and how I could make the display work how I want, please? Tagging Ben Goodman because you've done similar

[Ben Goodman]

Boy_Wonder,

your code seems more organized than mine lol xD


 I put the if/else sections inside the <a href=" part"> part. Also, I think your problem is with the {foreach} section, but I am not entirely sure about it. I am leaving my code here, hoping that it will solve your problem.
<table style="background-color:black;border: 2px solid black;border-radius:18px;" width="100%" >

Hello.

I did notice this:

{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 1"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 1 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]{/if}</a>

You are trying to check for two different custom field names in the same line. On that pass, the custom field name will only have one value for it. So, if the custom field name, at that point, is equal to "Cust Nav Link 1", how can it also equal "Cust Nav Link 1 Name" on that same pass?

I hope that helps.

Edit: I hear that Tumbleweed is very good with templates, so perhaps she can (if willing) verify what I have posted or not.

[Boy_Wonder]

I've tried the route you did it Ben - it might be that I have more custom profile field names but its not wanting to play that way either.

Brian - if you want to take a look as well.

Kitty Katt - I know tumbleweed tends to bow out of anything I do template related XD

You cannot nest if statements for the mini profile custom fields. You would have to do a sort of hacky work around:

To work around it is kind of hacky, but I wind up wrapping variables around each portion of the HTML, eg:

[variable 1 start]
<a href="link">
[/variable 1]

[variable2]


[variable 1 start]
</a>
[/variable 1]

So would it be like this:

{foreach $[current_user.custom_field]}

{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 1"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{/if}
{/foreach}
{foreach $[current_user.custom_field}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 1 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]{/if}{/foreach}
{foreach $[current_user.custom_field}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] = "Cust Nav Link 1"}</a>{/if}{/foreach}


[Kami]

I don't think you need to do the foreach every time, I didn't on mine.

         {/foreach}
           </div>

Updated code - I think I've got it right - its still doing the repeating thing and now its repeating each link and each name 4 times

[Peter]

Boy_Wonder ,

Your issue is in your conditions it seems.  Tip -> Equality

[Boy_Wonder]

Peter - Thank you Peter!

So update: I now have things sorta showing how they should be, but the links aren't working (so it's only showing up as plain text)

{foreach $[current_user.custom_field]}
           {if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 1"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{/if}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 1 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]{/if} {if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 1"}</a>{/if}<br />
           {if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 2"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{/if}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 2 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]{/if} {if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 2"}</a>{/if}<br />
           {if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 3"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{/if}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 3 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]{/if}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 3"}</a>{/if}<br />
           {if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 4"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{/if}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 4 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]{/if}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 4"}</a>{/if}<br />
         {/foreach}

[Peter]

Moving the </a> to the second {if} and removing the last {if} will solve it.

{foreach $[current_user.custom_field]}
{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 1"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{/if}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 1 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]</a><br />{/if}
{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 2"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{/if}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 2 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]</a><br />{/if}
{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 3"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{/if}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 3 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]</a><br />{/if}
{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 4"}<a href="$[current_user.custom_field.value]">{/if}{if $[current_user.custom_field.name] == "Cust Nav Link 4 Name"}$[current_user.custom_field.value]</a><br />{/if}
{/foreach}
