Conditional Operators |
Conditional operators for newbies and professionals. If you do not understand how conditional operators work and the information in the Control Panel is not enough for you, I will try to explain. First, you should believe, that it is very easy! Conditional operators are special codes-symbols, which can perform certain scenarios (scripts). You can create an absolutely new option on your site that is not provided in the Control Panel. First, you must understand and get used to the components of the script code. They are: <?if($code$)?> – it is some condition (code), which points to the operator whom and what we are dealing with. We can mentally replace it by the phrase «If there is»; <?else?> – it is the operator which will do what you say if the condition corresponds to the indicated ones. Replace it mentally by the phrase «If not»; <?endif?> – it is the end of the conditional operator, replace it mentally by «The end»;
Now let’s examine an easy example from the Control Panel: (from Page Editor) <?if($USER_LOGGED_IN$)?> Hello, $USERNAME$ <?else?> You are a GUEST. Please, register. <?endif?> In our language it means: «If there is an authorized user, then «Hello, his/her login!», if not, «Hello, guest!» and the end.» Now the details. What did we use? We said to <?if($code$)?> operator that our script is intended for saying hello to authorized users. We put the following code instead of $code$ - $USER_LOGGED_IN$ , i.e. we said «If there is an authorized user - <?if($USER_LOGGED_IN$)?>». Then the information, available only to authorized users, follows. At the same time, we may use conditions if they do not correspond to the indicated ones, in our example it is Guests. Therefore, after the information for registered users we enter the information for guests. We get Now we have just to close it. We can also exclude Guests and display information for registered users only. For this purpose we just do not use «If not». We get the following: <?if($USER_LOGGED_IN$)?> We are glad that you have registered! <?endif?> It means that only those who have logged in will see the phrase «We are glad that you have registered!». Any code, specified as working for a certain module, can be a condition for the work of operators. In our case (Page Editor), the following examples can be used: Login and logout: Days after registration: And so on.
Conditions for a script can be changed by means of additional capabilities, supported by the operators. They are «=», «>», «<» signs. If necessary, the equated conditions are separated by a vertical line. After the sign, you say to the operator to whom the whole script is directed. <?if($code$='condition')?> I can see this <?else?> And here I can see this <?endif?> Or <?if($code$='condition')?> The main thing is that I can see this <?endif?> Example: <?if($USER$='John')?> John, don’t forget to read e-mail every day. <?endif?> It means «If there are usernames and there is John among them (='John'), then this is to be displayed to him…» The same is with groups, names, gender, date etc. <?if($USER$='Mike' or $USER$='Lola')?> Mike and Lola, here is a secret link …. <?endif?> Groups: And so on. However, operators can work in each other. Example: <?if($USER_LOGGED_IN$)?> Hello $USER$! <?if($GROUP_ID$=3 || $GROUP_ID$=4)?> Don’t forget to click on the ads! <?endif?> <?else?> Please, register. <?endif?> The script is the following: «If there are logged-in users, then Hello, if there Administrators and Moderators among them, then add Click on ads, if there are unregistered users, we ask them to register, and the end.»
The main thing is that you must think well how to write a script, what codes to use and whom they will be directed to. You may write anything, uCoz is very flexible! Additional mini-info: I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.

Hey,
I used conditional operators to show the user's name, gender and his group in the block, but i could not show his/her Age, Last login time. I used the following code to display the User's gender when he/she login to my site.
Code <?if($USER_LOGGED_IN$)?> Group - $USER_GROUP$<?endif?><BR> If i use the same code for Age it does not work.
Code $_LOG_TIME$ , $_AGE$ I need some help!!! "I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places"

I want to make a counter for counting for every user how many times they downloaded something from my catalog, and how many times the uploded something. I want to make rule that they only can download if they have enough uploads. Is it possible and how? Thx

Cartman, you speak about File Catalog? The number of downloads is shown by default under each entry. The number of added entries (uploads) can be seen in user's profile.
If you want to do this using conditional operators try $_LOAD_ENTRIES$ variable. It will be smth like this (you need to edit the corresponding File Catalog template):
Quote <?if($_LOAD_ENTRIES$>10)?>download link<?else?>You don't have enough uploads<?endif?> I haven't tested it so try yourself. You can also do the following: adjust user group permissions and forbid Users to download. Then set Auto-transfer to Checked according to the number of File Catalog entries and allow Checked group to download. I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.
