List Of Variables For Conditionals

[DVD Plaza]

Where is the list of variables available to templates/conditionals? I've scanned through the manual/forums but can't find anything.

[Floris]

I don't think there is a list for this, but if you have a question 'how can I do this or that- and can I use a conditional', we can try to answer it

[DVD Plaza]

Aye? There must be a master list somewhere, how do the developers know what is or isn't available? How can a major feature be "conditionals" but no listing of what you can conditional against?

I'd rather not have to ask for each one, otherwise I'll be asking a squillion times for variables - I write my templates 100% from scratch

All I know is this: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...e_conditionals

[DVD Plaza]

Yeah that document blew me away - "here's a great feature to condition stuff, but we won't tell you what there is to condition against!"

Thanks for your time aways - I'm guessing Kier will be the man who knows/has the list.

[Floris]

Basicly every variable for that page, accessable by that template.

Are there any plans to document such a list and make it available?

Variables list

Any progress with the variables list?

[Zachery]

I have no public update at this time, sorry

[Scott MacVicar]

The list is potentially 100's of variables per template so it could be a list of somewhere in the region of 30,000 variables. Its really ideal to ask and we'll do our best to give you an answer.

I'm just trying to get the bigger ones for each of the page, but i havent had time to work on it

I've done some parsing through the text of various vB PHP files and also thru the templates themselves in hopes of compiling a list. It's very lacking to say the least.

What would be optimal is a definition of what each variable contains, how it's formatted, and which include dependancies are required to populate the variables. Would this be asking too much? I would assume it's proprietary developer info.

You could have one block of code that parses, defines, and displays every variable in use on the system for a particular user!

I want a list of all the vB variables too!

[dstruct2k]

Here's how to get it:

Open up all the PHP files that make up vB.

Anything that starts with $ is a variable.


(Just playin with you, man. )

But it is quite an extensive list... If you want to do something specific, find what $variable it is in the PHP code, and try and use it. If it doesn't work, then come for help.
