Current area= check?

[samborabora]

I want to make sure something only displays if it's not on a certain area (I want the error to display UNDER a part of the profile edit code, so it's down in the profile edit part as well as function template_profile_above(), but so I don't get two messages displaying, I want to not have it display in function template_profile_above() if we are currently under area=forumprofile).

So, I was thinking:

Code Select Expand

// If an error occurred while trying to save previously, give the user a clue!
if (!empty($context['post_errors']) && $context['section'] !== 'forumprofile')
echo '
', template_error_message();

// If the profile was update successfully, let the user know this.
if (!empty($context['profile_updated']) && $context['section'] !== 'forumprofile')
echo '
<div id="profile_success">
', $context['profile_updated'], '
</div>'
;

Might work, but I guess $context['section'] !== 'forumprofile' isn't too much of a thing. I also tried

Code Select Expand

$context['areas'] !== 'forumprofile' and that didn't help. Which is the proper way to check for which area we are under?

PS: I assumed it would have worked like $context['folder'] !== 'sent' or $context['folder'] !== 'inbox' does?

Why does it have to be in the template_profile_above when you could just put it in the area of the profile you're displaying it in?

[samborabora]

I did also, but I presumed that part would need to remain in the header also in case anything else relies on it that wasn't related to the profile edit sections. Or I could just put it in every section, but I was gonna use the profile header as a blanket for everything that wasn't profile edit.

If that makes sense?

If it isn't relied on by anything else then I might as well just remove it from the header, as you suggest

[Arantor]

I'd say there's not really enough information to make an informed judgement about that, but I do remember that I found myself hating the profile code most of all in SMF, so anything's possible.

[samborabora]

I'll just take it out of the header and leave it in function template_edit_options() only then

Out of interest for possible future use, how DOES one do a check for which area one is currently in?

[Arantor]

With extreme difficulty. In *theory*, $context['current_area'] should be defined and be correct but it isn't always.

Hmm, I thought it might work, but I'm having trouble on the forum profile area. I need to discern between "profile area=forumprofile" and "profile area=account", not sure what the check is?

Tried:

Code Select Expand

if ($context['section'] == 'forumprofile') But it was a no go?

[Arantor]

In the profile area, try $context['menu_item_selected'].

[samborabora]

In the profile area, try $context['menu_item_selected'].

Perfect, thankyou!!
