XF 2.1 Template Modifications For Different XF Versions

[Ozzy47]

Okay,for the conversation_add template, I have a template modification set up. It works in XF2.1.2, but not in XF2.1.3.

I can fix it for 2.1.3 no problem, but then it won't work for 2.1.2.

So the question is, is their a way to write the find and the replace to accommodate two different versions?

2.1.2 Find:

            <xf:tokeninputrow name="recipients" value="{$to}" href="{{ link('members/find') }}"
                rowtype="fullWidth"
                label="{{ phrase('recipients') }}"
                explain="{{ phrase('separate_names_with_comma') }}" />

2.1.3 Find:

            <xf:tokeninputrow name="recipients" value="{$to}" href="{{ link('members/find') }}"
                rowtype="fullWidth"
                label="{{ ($maxRecipients == -1 OR $maxRecipients > 1) ? phrase('recipients') : phrase('recipient') }}"
                max-tokens="{{ ($maxRecipients > -1) ? $maxRecipients : null }}"
                explain="{{ ($maxRecipients == -1 OR $maxRecipients > 1) ? phrase('separate_names_with_comma') : null }}" />

Regular Expressions FTW

Heh, I actually just responded to your PM about this, but for everyone's benefit, I came to the same answer as @Kirby and you can actually do this one fairly elegantly so it works with both versions.

That's a pretty nifty tool to have access to.

Some people (@Mike ) have some sort of weird gift where they can write the most complicated (and perfect) regular expression, off the top of their heads, without any testing being required and it just works.

The rest of us have to use tools like regex101

There are many other tools out there, but regex101 has been my favourite for years now.

To get there, you don't just have to write regex, you have to live them.

I also often write (simple) regexes without having to test them, but for more complex ones Regex101 is a lifesaver for sure

I had the same request some time ago. Another way is to use a callback in your template, which is only called during compilation.
For me, that was much easier then using regex

I would like to make some of my addons compatible with both XF 2.0 and XF 2.1 Therefore I need to do a few template modifications. The "find" string will be the same, but the "replace" string will be different based on the version. What would be the best way to do this, without making two...

I'll keep that in mind as well, thanks for the link.
