[Guide] Template Conditionals

[Spartan]

I thought it may be handy to have a list of common template conditionals. This isn't a full list, just the most common ones I think must of need at times.

Display different code to guests and members.

<xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}">
Code for Members
<xen:else />
Guests
</xen:if>

Display code to user x.

<xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}==x">
 Code for user x
 </xen:if>

Display to members only.

<xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}">
Code for members
</xen:if>

Display to guests only

<xen:if is="!{$visitor.user_id}">
Code for guests

</xen:if>

Display if user has more than x posts (replace '>' with '<' for less than x posts).

<xen:if is="{$visitor.message_count} > x">
Code for members with more/less than x posts

</xen:if>

Display to admins.

<xen:if is="{$visitor.is_admin}">
FOR ADMINS
</xen:if>

Display to mods.

<xen:if is="{$visitor.is_moderator}">
FOR MODS
</xen:if>

Display in forum x.

<xen:if is="{$forum.node_id}==x">
 Code for forum x
 </xen:if>

Display in thread x.

<xen:if is="{$thread.thread_id}==x">
Code for thread x
</xen:if>

That one isn't common as such but it could be handy, for example you could create a thread with forum rules and then edit the template thread_view with a special notice saying something like 'read carefully' to show in that thread only.

Like I said, that list isn't extensive but it's probably the most common conditionals used.

Additionally, you can also set conditional for Administrators only

<xen:if is="{$visitor.is_admin}">
FOR ADMINS
</xen:if>

That's a handy one too.

Thanks

Very cool guide, I've tweeted this one out. I think it's really nice of you to publish this on the xenfans site. Thumbsup!

 

[Floris]

Is it possible to use a conditional so you can show something ONLY on register page?

http://xenfans.com/register

if page = register, say 'yhalothar'

 

[Floris]

PAGE AND SECTION DETECTION

<xen:if is="{$controllerName} == 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Thread' AND {$controllerAction} == 'index'"><!-- your stuff here --></xen:if>

to answer my own question.

FIRST POST OF THREAD

<xen:if is="{$post.position} == 0">
.. do something in the first post ..
</xen:if>

You forgot a " there mate

 

[Floris]

IS USER (browsing) IN USERGROUP? (including additional usergroups) (RC2 and up)

<xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, 5}">
The user browsing is in either primary/secondary usergroup with id 5.
</xen:if>

 

[Vincent_imported]

IS USER IN USERGROUP (including additional usergroups) (RC2 and up)

<xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $user, $userGroupId} == x}">
x
</xen:if>

Doesn't work for me

 

[Floris]

Sorry about the late response, try removing the } in x}">
I think textmate pushed an additional one in there without my permission (ill have to go hit it)

 

[Floris]

BAH! floris

Ok, i've updated the post, and fixed it.. sorry about that.

Sample code where conditional is determined from templates

<xen:if is="{$contentTemplate} == 'EWRporta_Portal'">

        <xen:include template="Board_Message_By_Kaiser" />

</xen:if>

 

[wisemasterchief]

Node selection that can be altered to an EQUAL TO or a NOT EQUAL TO conditional. This would also work nicely for a register page.

<xen:if is="{$quickNavSelected} != 'node-3'">

   YOUR CODE GOES HERE

</xen:if>

 

[Floris]

SET VARS FOR CONDITIONALS (tnx kier!)

<xen:set var="$myVar">1234</xen:set>

But you can't set arrays - ideally, that should be done outside the template (view or controller/model layer)

Thank you Doctor, this could be really helpful to the community, and me for that matter. I haven't played around with Xenforo in depth much as I can't use it on a live site just yet, but when the stable version gets released I will be re-visiting this thread. Thanks for the information

 

[prodigyfx]

If you want to show an ad in your forum homepage only, just a tiny change to Floris's conditional above

<xen:if is="{$controllerName} == 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Index' AND {$controllerAction} == 'Index'"><!-- banner code --></xen:if>

you can put this conditional to your footer or page_container templates.

How will I have to do

If on Forum page, show X
Else show Y

 

[Floris]

<xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} == 2"> test </xen:if>

 

[Vincent_imported]

<xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} == 2"> test </xen:if>

That's not what I meant
Let's say it in another way.

How can I, in one template that appears on more then 1 page, show at page "member profile" content X and at another page show content Y.

run that code at the top of the pages, and see what it outputs, recognize the pattern perhaps and use them in your conditional?

I get where the first part is coming from, but I don't get where ControllerAction=Index is coming from.

Great, i can translate that and put on "XenFácil" (Spanish XenForo Support Forum) with the source link (here)?
