Hey Guys

This might seem like a strange question, but I need a way to determine if it is the Community profiles (id=4) profile index page, and if so exclude something from showing.

So basically something like {if $_profile_id == 4 && Template=profile_index.tpl}

Is this possible, and if so what would the proper syntax be?

Thanks

Gary

I think {$jr_template} tells you what template you're in, so

{if $_profile_id == 4 && $jr_template == "profile_index.tpl"}

But if this code is in the profile_index.tpl template, will not the $jr_template test always be true anyway?

$jr_template will be (or should be) the name of the template it is in. So while in "header.tpl" it should be "header.tpl", etc.

The standard way to see what you have available is to put {debug} where your planning on using the info and see what stuff is available.

"{debug}"

If what you want isn't there then you move on to one of the "how do i get this value here" ways.

I needed to take a step back and rethink this through. For the community profile I want a 3 col index page (col3, col6, col3) but then for other areas of the community profile (forum, docs, files, tracker) I want 2 column (9col, 3col).

So essentially the community profile index becomes a community hub of latest this and that.

After sleeping on it I seemed to have figured out a solution, amazing what your unconscious mind can achieve hey ;)

Yep, totally agree. I find sometimes the thing I was stuck on all day looks so obvious in the morning I wonder why it took me so long to see it. Not an uncommon occurrence.

Glad you got it sorted.
