If Location is Present this Mod Will Display it!

[augrunt]

Yep, I've just perfected the code. This code will give you the ability to display you're members locations.

I've made it because i've recently set my Location to "Required".

So i had to think of a way to clean the mess off my board... all the Location: were starting to get to me. So i figured out what the code was... how it worked with the others and i came up with this

Code Select Expand


//augrunt's modifications... If the Location has been Entered in by a Member, If not it'll be blank. This took a while to figure out, enjoy!
if (!isset($message['location']) && $message['member']['location'] != '')
                                echo '
                                                                ', $txt[227], ': ', '<i />', $message['member']['location'], '</i><br /><br />';

Note: I added that //augrunt so it can explain to u how it works, please don't remove it, i love checking site's code to see if there using 1 of my modifications, i only recently moved to PHP.

Instructions:

This code goes in "your-theme/display.template.php"

Below

Code Select Expand

// Show online and offline buttons?

and Above

Code Select Expand

// Show the member's gender icon?

Trust me its best to keep it like that, its how all the other code is written... i think if u do it like <i> it likes this it causes a database error. and my motto is, if it works like that dont touch it.

This has been covered a few times in the last couple of years, I'm sure you would have found it using the search function.
Never the less, you have now posted it for others to see and use, which has to be a good thing.

no it hasnt... this code hides the location if it isnt present... the other one displays *Location:* if nothing was there... belive me i looked i only code something if its unique...

thanks for this mod! it's exactly what i need.
just one question though, can you get it to just display the actual location, without "Location:" before?
