Custom user field, if checkbox user ...

[Allan]

I have create an custom user field:






My html code:

<xen:if is="{$user.customFields.bloc_note} == 'on'">
hide or show this content if custom user field checked
</xen:if>

I would like if the user checks the box, the content is displayed.

But actually, don't work

This should work..

<xen:if is="{$user.customFields.bloc_note.on}">
hide or show this content if custom user field checked
</xen:if>

 

[Allan]

After test, Always not.

 

[Insy]

The current user is $visitor, not $user !

<xen:if is="{$visitor.customFields.bloc_note.on}">
hide or show this content if custom user field checked
</xen:if>

 

[Snog]

Works every time in some quick tests here.

There's either something else you're not telling us or $user isn't available where you're using it.

EDIT: Or like @Insy said, you want $visitor, not $user.

Work now, thanks guys

Other question, how to ensure that the option is checked by default?

You can't directly set a default value for custom user fields.

You can't directly set a default value for custom user fields.

Thank you for information.

But how to display the content if the people don't see by default?

<xen:if is="{$visitor.customFields.bloc_note.on}">
hide or show this content if custom user field checked
<xen:else />
Show stuff here for people with option not checked
</xen:if>

<xen:if is="{$visitor.customFields.bloc_note.on}">
hide or show this content if custom user field checked
<xen:else />
Show stuff here for people with option not checked
</xen:if>

Tried and don't work because if the user don't want to see the block, it will see still ..

So, what exactly are you trying to do? If a field is not set by default then the "<xen:else />" will run. It should work, but without seeing the actual code we have no idea.

EDIT: You can try this as well.

<xen:if is="{$visitor.customFields.bloc_note.on} == 'on'">
hide or show this content if custom user field checked
<xen:else />
Show stuff here for people with option not checked
</xen:if>

It work ! Thank you Steve F

Just for understand

In <xen:if is="{$visitor.customFields.bloc_note.on} == 'on'">

-> bloc_note -> custom ID field
-> on -> Value to ID field

And 'on' -> Activate ? it's correct ?

And if i put off ? -> no activate ?

And if i put off ? -> no activate ?

When the checkbox isn't checked, $visitor.customFields.bloc_note is NULL.
It does not take the value 'off'.
