IPB Conditional Needed

Does anyone know a conditional I could use that will display x info after every x posts or after the first post in a thread? I really need this so I can display some info within threads for guests.

Any ideas?

Thank you :wink:

The variable $post['post']['post_count'] in the topicViewTemplate holds the value of which post in the topic that particular post is. So to have something show up after the first post, you'd have a conditional like this:

Code:

<if test="$post['post']['post_count'] == 1">
show something
</if>

To have something repeat after X number of posts, do this:

Code:

<if test="$post['post']['post_count'] % X == 0">
show something
</if>

Just replace X with the number of posts you want to show before doing this. And remember, this code goes into the topicViewTemplate right before the first </foreach> tag, as that's where it does the loop over each post to show.

Thanks for those Michael, do you know of any list containing commonly wanted ones thats available anywhere?

There are thousands of possible such conditionals, there isn't any complete list.
