Let user decide about ads

[Member 10517]

I want to give my user the choice to decide if they want to view ads or not.
Is there an addon to do this?

Do it with a custom user field and conditional statements.

Great idea! I have defined two options for a drop down menü. But there is also a blank default value.
Can I define the default to one of my field values?

 

[Paul B]

Use <xen:if is="{$user.customFields.field_id}"> to check if the option has been selected.

If not, apply the default.

Take a look here:



There are 3 options: "blank, ja and nein" - but I only want "ja, nein".

You could approach it using a simple check box instead of a dropdown

Then your conditional would simply be:

<xen:if is="{$visitor.customFields.adsshowing.on} == 'on'">
ads on
</xen:if>

I think that's right

 

[Paul B]

If it's simple yes/no, why not just do a checkbox?

Thank you guys - great support from you!

Perhaps one last thing:
Can you help me with a sql-query to count the forumusers who has checked this field?
