Template Conditionals (If Conditionals)

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['member']"></if>

> Show message or link for members only

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['guest']"></if>

> Show message or link for guests only

HTML Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6)"></if>

> This will show to admins

HTML Code:

<if condition="!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID']"></if>

> Place anything After First Post (Ads,message ....etc)

HTML Code:

<if condition="$post['postcount'] % $vboptions['maxposts'] == x"></if>

> Place anything After x Post On Every Page

HTML Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'index'"></if>

> Show info in index only

HTML Code:

<if condition="$forumid == X">

> show information only in X Forum

HTML Code:

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(X,Y,Z))">

> show information in few forums

HTML Code:

<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)">

> setup a conditional to show information from multiple usergroups.

I will update more Conditionals but this is the most important Conditionals you will use

If and else

You can also use If Else conditionals within your templates below example

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['guest']">
    Show Guest This Message
<else />
    Show Everyone but guests this message
</if>
