[SOLVED] Substitution bug & help

What type of field is cb_selecttyp? Is it being controlled by CB Conditional or CBSubs? userfield will respect privacy so if it's display is being hidden by something then it won't return anything. This shouldn't affect IF statements though as it's using the same code as userdata, which you state works. I suspect perhaps the condition it self (="MyTestValue") isn't correct. I couldn't duplicate your issue however and see IF statements working fine.

Thanks for testing. Mmh, what should I say, its a simple select field. Really simple one-word test entries. As you mentioned, the "userdata" variant does show-up. The "userfield" test is just a copied version, where I replaced the "data" against "field"...

I am clueless.

If you say its working on your side, i am fine. Maybe its "one-of-these-days" things
Will check it again, but I don´t see anything else to try.

However, its not sooo important. I can live with it. As far as alternative syntax works.

Just one question from my first post:
Since the userdata syntax works for the simple output, how would I use this syntax in an IF STATEMENT ?!?
I wanted something like:

IF the displayed user has a special simpleselect value THEN display a special image (badge)

Is this simple version correct?
[cb:if cb_selecttyp="MyTestValue"]Show me this sample text.[/cb:if]

Is it possible to write the same example with "userdata" ? Just want to have a comparison.

Is this simple version correct?
[cb:if cb_selecttyp="MyTestValue"]Show me this sample text.[/cb:if]

Yes, but it depends on the type of field. If it's a multi-select the above is not correct. If it's a single select drop-down then the above is correct. This all assumes the value you are matching against is actually the exact value stored to database for the user.

I need to know the exact fieldtype and the exact value you want to match against. I can't test and confirm or suggest configuration otherwise.

In source it already uses userdatas usage.

Tested again with new SINGLE SELECT field.
Values are really simple:

Avalue
Bvalue
Cvalue

I tried again these two tests in a delimiter:

[cb:userfield field="cb_selecttyp" /]
[cb:userdata field="cb_selecttyp" /]

Result in frontend:

[cb:userfield field="cb_selecttyp" /]
Bvalue

Still problems with substitutions in Delimiter field. Testing with CB 1.7.1 and J! 1.5.25. I have 2 different local installations, to make sure its not related to one particular setup.

I also wanted to make sure that i don´t have a general Syntax problem, so I tested with your simple IF examples from your tutorial page. Simple IFs and userdata seems to work fine.

[cb:if user="#displayed" usertype="Registered"] The displayed user is of type: [cb:userdata field="usertype" /] (without OR operator)[/cb:if]


As soon as I try to do an IF OR combi... it does not output anything.

[cb:if user="#displayed" usertype="Registered" OR usertype="Editor"] The displayed User is of type: [cb:userdata field="usertype" /][/cb:if]


My current goal: I wanted to have a field value displayed to the PROFILE OWNER and ADMIN only. Nobody else. The original field lives on another Tab... I display it in a DELIMITER in another profile area, and wanted to restrict the visibility. The actual info is just for the owner or administration.
