Comment helpI have a problem with the comments. What are these thingy-magigs and how do you use them in editing templates (or tpl files).also how would you use :

You mean
Are PhpBB switches and not for hidden text for editing as above code. So if you want hidden comments use
They are useful for hard HTML edits in .tpl files |

those are what i was talking about, yes, but how would i use them?
i know that switch_user_logged_out && switch_user_logged_in are for whether the user is logged in or not but for some reason when i use them, my forum gets all screwy.. and the tags dont do what i thought they would. for example, i wrote a portal (but not really...) for admin announcements. when i put one of the tags in before the code, and the end tag after, it just doesnt show up, whether i was logged in or not.(annoying much?) btw, the portal is written directly into the index_body.tpl file, not as an actual portal. this is another problem i have been having, how do i make a portal work!?!? i add into the list, i write the code i want it to use but when i put in {MYFF.ADMINNOTES} (the portal name) it doesnt work as inteded . heres a question: is cms_adminnotes.tpl a file that is called when {MYFF.ADMINNOTES} is put in the code and {MYFF.ADMINNOTES} is replaced by the code in that file when the page is loaded? anyway... the tags dont work as i thought they would... |

okay heres an update, i played around with the switch_user_logged_in and i re-made a private message portal that works- it shows when a user is logged in and not when the user is not. i also made a new portal to contain the code for the admin announcements (though i left the old code where it was as well) and i played with user_logged_in with that. but the forum gets screwy when i mess with that portal...  im totally lost...i feel like i'm competely new to coding again... (i know several languages, including html, java, c, c++ and php but im LOST!)
also, is there a list of these switches?? i would like to see one if there was... |

Re: Comment help
those tags will only show content placed between them to users that are logged into your forum, guests will not be able to see it.
this could be partly because either there is no actual cms_adminnotes.tpl or that there may be no content within said file. Editing portals to custom content can be awkward.
the logged in switches need to be on their own line or they do play havoc occasionally |
