XF 2.2 Post length conditional

[giorgino]

Hi all, I need to insert an ad below the messages that are longer than x chars.
Is it possibile to achieve this with xenforo conditionals?

Thanks

Untested but you can probably use something like: <xf:if is="strlen($post.message) > 100">

The ad is shown in the small posts too. It seems that the condition > 100 doesn't works

Did you check that the var is correct -- $post.message ?

You will need to dump the vars for the template you are using to confirm what it is.

Yeah the var $post.message exist
The template is thread_view and I'm using the ad position "below message content"

My fault.

<xf:if is="{{strlen($post.message) > 100}}">

You need to use double braces for functions.

I tested it on my local and it works as expected.

Now I've edited the lenght from 100 to 500 and seems to work. But the number of chars aren't 500.
Weird...

Spaces are counted.

So 'short post' would be 10 and 'test test test test' would be 19.
