Makes sense -- off hand, anyone know if <vb:comment> show up in the html source code when vb is in debug mode?

It isn't $is_member_of, it's simply is_member_of (no $ in front).

Something to be aware of with the conditional tag.

Whereas in vb3.x, fetch_template was typically eval()'d in the scope of the function that created the template output, in vb4, the template is eval()'d inside another function. Since the conditional test refers to standard php variables rather than the vb registered template variables, this can create a situation where the variable you are testing is not in scope, so the test will always fail.

For example:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

where mytemplate contains:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

will only output "val: 1"

You can get round this by explicitly referring to the registered variable in the vb:if condition as follows:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

which will output "val: 1 say again 1", which is what the equivalent vb3.x template would have achieved.

Thanks for posting that, Andrew. I haven't run into that problem yet, but I know I will and I'll be pulling my hair out and then I'll remember this post of yours and the world will be right again.

[Vaupell]

is it possible to put a vb:raw condition in ?

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

<vb:if condition="{vb:raw value}==1"> do stuff.

[Lynne]

You don't use the {vb:stuff} in conditions. You would still use $value in the condition.

Gives me:

* unclosed_tag

[TimberFloorAu]

So to if condition for a specific user.

Would we use:

<vb:if condition="$show['admin']">

or:

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == 1">
