CB Content Bot and CB Substitutions "gids includes" question

Hi,

I'd like to show some content in a module only if the user group of the viewer or the displayed user is e.g. with ID 3, and then some other content if the user group of the viewer or the displayed user is e.g. with ID 4.

For example let's say I have this 4 user groups like so:

Public (ID 1)
-Registered (ID 2)
--Free users (ID 3)
--VIP users (ID 4)

I've tried a lot of combinations but without complete success.

Here are a few of the combinations I've tried:

-1 start-
{cb}
[cb:if user="#displayedOrMe" gids includes "3"]
Free content
[/cb:if]
[cb:if user="#displayedOrMe" gids includes "4"]
VIP content
[/cb:if]
{/cb}
-1 end-

In this situation I'm expecting to get:

1. If the displayed and I'm Free user3 - Free content;
2. If the displayed is Free user3 but I'm a VIP user4 - VIP content;
3. If the displayed is VIP user4 but I'm Free user3 - VIP content;
4. If the displayed is VIP user4 and I'm a VIP user4 - VIP content;

BUT I'm getting:

1. If the displayed and I'm Free user3 - Free content;
2. If the displayed is Free user3 but I'm a VIP user4 - VIP content;
3. If the displayed is VIP user4 but I'm Free user3 - FREE content;
4. If the displayed is VIP user4 and I'm a VIP user4 - VIP content;



-2 start-
{cb}
[cb:if user="#me" gids includes "3" or user="#displayed" gids includes "3"]
Free content
[/cb:if]
[cb:if user="#me" gids includes "4" or user="#displayed" gids includes "4"]
VIP content
[/cb:if]
{/cb}
-2 end-

-3 start-
{cb}
[cb:if user="#me" gids includes "3"]
Free content
[/cb:if]
[cb:if user="#me" gids includes "4"]
VIP content
[/cb:if]
{/cb}
{cb}
[cb:if user="#displayed" gids includes "3"]
Free content
[/cb:if]
[cb:if user="#displayed" gids includes "4"]
VIP content
[/cb:if]
{/cb}
-3 end-

-4 start-
{cb}
[cb:if user="#me" gids includes "3" or user="#displayed" gids !includes "4"]
Free content
[/cb:if]
[cb:if user="#me" gids includes "4" or user="#displayed" gids !includes "3"]
VIP content
[/cb:if]
{/cb}
-4 end-

First of all, could you answer if its possible to make such a complex substitutions? Like:

[cb:if user="#me" ..... or user="#displayed" .....]

I understood from your other topics that if - else is still not possible, am I correct?

It will be worth a lot to us and much easier for you if you could take your time and give us some more complex examples, other than the ones you've given in:

Thank you,

Or may be you still have problem with the user="#displayedOrMe"?

I'd like to show some content in a module only if the user group of the viewer or the displayed user is e.g. with ID 3, and then some other content if the user group of the viewer or the displayed user is e.g. with ID 4.

Your 1 and 3 scenarios are the only 2 that are valid. The way #displayedOrMe works is it uses the displayed users object (only works on profile) or the viewing users object. It doesn't use both. So it's not testing the displayed then testing the viewing user.

No, changing the user like that is not possible.

That is correct.

Nope, that's fixed.

Your usage isn't complex and there's an example for what you're wanting already. What you're needing from the sounds of it is ELSE/ELSEIF usage, which we don't have at this time. We will also be improving our tutorials at a later date after we've launched our new site.
