How do i write an If-Else Statement

On my login sucess page, I want to show a link "to another page" for paid linkowners and an upgrade link for free and expired LinkOwners.

Hi Sies,

Below if/elseif should work.

Not sure what settings you have, however if you have field like paiduser and settings as Yes/No, you can use below. However if you are using different settings, than just change the required info:

<%if paidluser eq 'Yes'%>
Content for users with paid links.
<%else%>
Content for users without paid link.
<%endif%>

Hi,

So what you wanna see, is if they have any paid links - and if they do, show different stuff compared to someone who doesn't?

Not as simple as a condition if thats the case, as it would need a global to work out if they own a link thats been paid for. Won't bother writing it until I know that's what your trying to do =)

I created a resource site that I only want made available to paid users
You have to log into this site with a usename and password that I change every month
On the login_sucess page, I want the paid users to see the link to the resource site and the necessary login info.
I want the free and expired listing users to see an upgrade/renewal link.

Ok, and how does your system know if they are paid, or non-paid/expired? Do you have a tag that you use for it?

LOL = Laugh out loud =)

Code:

I tell if a listing is paid by ExpiryDate

Ok, so the way you tell if someone is a "member" is if they have at least one paid link that is active, yes?

Yes, That is the only way I know. If their are other ways that I could tell, I sure would like to know.
The Expiration date is in unix. I have to convert that date into Gregorian to read it.

Re: [Sies] How do i write an If-Else Statement In reply to

Ok, well this is totally untested - but try:

check_if_user_has_paid

Code:
sub { 

	my $cond = new GT::SQL::Condition; 
	   $cond->add('isValidated','=','Yes'); 
  	   $cond->add('LinkOwner','=',$USER->{Username}); 
  	   $cond->add('ExpiryDate','<','2147483647'); 
   	   $cond->add('ExpiryDate','>',GT::Date::timelocal()); 
	$cond->bool('AND'); 

	if ($DB->table('Links')->count($cond) > 0) { 
		# they have a paid link, that is active 
		return { has_active_paid_link => 1 }; 
	} else { 
		# they dont have a paid link thats active 
		return { has_active_paid_link => 0 }; 
	} 

}

Then call with:

Code:
<%check_if_user_has_paid%> 
<%if has_active_paid_link%> 
  they have at least one link , that is validated and still active 
<%else%> 
  they dont have any paid links (that are validated, or active) 
<%endif%>

Thanks that work fine.
and to link back to the login-sucess page
http://www.db_cgi_url/page.cgi?p=login_success

I hasd to use your plugin to take the user straight to the upgrade page

<%Plugins::ULTRAGlobals::Users_Listings($LinkOwner)%>
<%if user_links.length%>
<%loop user_links%>
<%include link3.html%>
<%endloop%>
<%endif%>

Link3.html

Listing ID# <%ID%> - <%Title%><br/>
<a href="<%config.db_cgi_url%>/modify.cgi?do=payment_linked;process_payment=1;modify=1;ID=<%ID%>">
<br></a>
