Ok total nube here!

I've started to learn PHP and thought I would try to make a small hack to the post-bit in vB.

I want it to show a visual idication if someone has uploaded a profile pic and was trying to do it with this code:

<if condition="$userinfo['profilepic']">
<img src="images/hasprofile.gif" alt="Has a profile pic" />
</if>

I've also tried:

<if condition="$show['profilepic']">

and:

<if condition="$userinfo['profilepic'] = true">

But not sure what I'm doing really!

Do I need to make sure that value has loaded by making sure it is called in the actual php file too?

Any ideas?

sorry to be a total nube :(

First off, this is mainly vBulletin's code and it's not exactly PHP. Just so you know in the future.

In a postbit you have to use the $post variable. Here's the code you would want to try:
<if condition="$post['profilepic']">
<img src="images/hasprofile.gif" alt="Has a profile pic" />
</if>

That should work inside the template to complete what you're after.

Hi Ryan

Thanks for getting back to me. Sorry didn't know not to post vB stuff here, you can delete the thread if you like.

Regarding the above, it doesn't work. I've since learned that it's because the Information "User has a Profile Picture" doesn't exist - you have to aggregate it somehow, for example by making a join on the custompprofilepic table.

Anyway its all sorted now, there was a hack at vb.org that I missed!

No, I'm not saying anything about not posing vBulletin questions here, that's fine. But yes, you're correct. I assumed you had already done the join statement.
