Or NOR! :P

I'm going to regret this... are you sure? :mrgreen:

Nope, this is just what my prof told me at the uni... :mrgreen:

Actually I see that NAND gates are mentioned much more than NOR gates. But searching on Wikipedia (Wikipedia knows it all!) I read:
Wikipedia wrote: NAND and NOR logic gates are the two pillars of logic, in that all other types of Boolean logic gates (i.e., AND, OR, NOT, XOR, XNOR) can be created from a suitable network of just NAND or just NOR gate(s). They can be built from relays or transistors, or any other technology that can create an inverter and a two-input AND or OR gate. Hence the NAND and NOR gates are called the universal gates.


PS: I notice that external links open in the same window... is this wanted? I mean, I'd like external links to open in new windows/tabs, instead of taking the place of the forum...

I've read the entire thread and I'm confused. Could someone please tell me which files do you need to open and edit to create a new style for phpBB3?

Code: Select all

			<!-- BEGIN block1 -->
			<table width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="tablebg">
				<tr>
	  				<th colspan="2">{L_TITLE}</th>
				</tr>
				<tr>
	  				<td class="cat" ><span class="gen">{L_TITLE}</span></td>
	  				<!-- IF block1.block2.U_DELETE || block1.block2.U_EDIT --><td class="cat" ></td><!-- ENDIF -->
				</tr>
				<!-- BEGIN block2 -->
				<tr>
	  				<td class="row1" align="center"><span class="gensmall">{block1.block2.TITLE}</span></td>
					<!-- IF block1.block2.U_DELETE || block1.block2.U_EDIT --><td class="row1" align="right"><span class="gensmall"><!-- ENDIF --><!-- IF block1.block2.U_EDIT --><a href="{block1.block2.U_EDIT}">{EDIT}</a><!-- ENDIF -->&nbsp;<!-- IF block1.block2.U_DELETE--><a href="{block1.block2.U_DELETE}">{DELETE}</a><!-- ENDIF --></span></td>
				</tr>
				<!-- END block2 -->
			</table>
			<br />
			<!-- END block1 -->
Question? Can you do a conditional IF on the second block before it begins? Like 'IF block1.block2.U_DELETE' where we have not started the block2.

I have one example of this working and one not working and I can not figure if its supported by the template engine.

How could this be possible - you are not able to tell *which* value to use if you use it. What you can do is checking for the existence of block2 or using conditionals to lay out properly or (the complicate way) iterating through block2 once, defining a variable with <!-- DEFINE --> if you find any parameter and then using this defined var within the later block:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN block1 -->
	<!-- BEGIN block2 -->
		<!-- IF block1.block2.U_DELETE || block1.block2.U_EDIT --><!-- DEFINE $ADD_COLUMN = 1 --><!-- ENDIF -->
	<!-- END block2 -->

	<table width="100%" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="tablebg">
	<tr>
		<th colspan="2">{L_TITLE}</th>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="cat"><span class="gen">{L_TITLE}</span></td>
		<!-- IF $ADD_COLUMN --><td class="cat"></td><!-- ENDIF -->
	</tr>
	<!-- BEGIN block2 -->
		<tr>
			<td class="row1" align="center"><span class="gensmall">{block1.block2.TITLE}</span></td>
		<!-- IF $ADD_COLUMN -->
			<td class="row1" align="right"><span class="gensmall">
				<!-- IF block1.block2.U_EDIT --><a href="{block1.block2.U_EDIT}">{EDIT}</a><!-- ENDIF -->&nbsp;
				<!-- IF block1.block2.U_DELETE--><a href="{block1.block2.U_DELETE}">{DELETE}</a><!-- ENDIF -->
			</span></td>
		<!-- ENDIF -->
		</tr>
	<!-- END block2 -->
	</table>
	<br />

<!-- END block1 -->

Thanks. I did not think it would be possible, but what confused me is I have one working like that :? I am trying to narrow down why one is working and the other is not. I am guessing its a mistake on my part.

Has anyone figured out to include an indication of the logged-in user's 'Rank Title' on the index page?

I can't seem to find any reference to it apart from that in viewtopic, which isn't suitable. I haven't had a chance to look directly at the database structure to see where or how it is stored. Any help appreciated.

So far I've been able to include Member ID, joined date, posts and warnings.

Try adding...

Code: Select all

'USER_RANK'                => ($user->data['user_rank']) ? $user->data['user_rank'] : '',
to the functions file.

Ahhh! That should do the trick... Seems to return the rank ID - I should be able to set up IF statements to sort & display the title.

Thanks very much! :mrgreen:
