vatware button on roster question

[Strider]

I have some code to get the vataware gif onto the roster, but it shows for every pilot even if they dont have a vatsim id, what code do i need to put in to stop that from happening?

See if that field is empty

[Strider]

no what is happening it shows the button even if it is empty and when it isn't empty. I need it to show nothing when it is empty and the button when it isn't empty.

How should i assign  getfieldvalue()  to a variable? I only know very very basic php.

Check your code, paste it in, you have an extra > , that's all

[Strider]

It still doesn't work. I have tried different combos, and it still doesn't want to work, it now shows the gif, but it doesn't link to vataware.

Post the code

[Strider]

<?php
$fieldvalue = 0;
if($fieldvalue != '')
//<a href="http://www.vataware.com/pilot.cfm?cid=<?php echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID'); target="_blank"?><img src="<?php echo SITE_URL ?>/lib/skins/global/images/vatsim.gif" alt="Vatsim ID" /></a>

That is the code.

[Leiserson]

why is it commented out?

[Nabeel]

$fieldvalue should be equal to the getfieldvalue() function, I don't remember exactly what it is off the top of my head atm

[Strider]

flyzen it said to comment it out.

I have equaled the fliedvalue to the getfieldvalue and it still doesn't want to be a good little boy.

[Strider]

<?php
$fieldvalue = $pilot;
if($fieldvalue != 'VATSIM_ID')
// <a href="http://www.vataware.com/pilot.cfm?cid=<?php echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID'); target="_blank"?><img src="<?php echo SITE_URL ?>/lib/skins/global/images/vatsim.gif" alt="Vatsim ID" /></a>

Should be enough to ge tyou goin:

<?php
$fieldvalue = PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID');
if($fieldvalue != '')
{
echo '<a href="http://www.vataware.com/pilot.cfm?cid='.$fieldvalue.'  target="_blank"<img src="'.SITE_URL.'/lib/skins/global/images/vatsim.gif" alt="Vatsim ID" /></a>';
}

[Strider]

<?php
$fieldvalue = "PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID');
if($fieldvalue != '')
{
   echo '<a href="http://www.vataware.com/pilot.cfm?cid='.$fieldvalue.'  target="_blank"<img src="'.SITE_URL.'/lib/skins/global/images/vatsim.gif" alt="Vatsim ID" /></a>'";
}

Still not working.

Use what I posted. Why's there a quote in front of the PilotData?

[Strider]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/globalai/public_html/lib/skins/global/pilots_list.tpl on line 57

I get that error with your code. I know the piece of code causing it, but there is no way of stopping it from occuring.

{
   echo '<a href="http://www.vataware.com/pilot.cfm?cid='.$fieldvalue.'" target="_blank"><img src="'.SITE_URL.'/lib/skins/global/images/vatsim.gif" alt="Vatsim ID" /></a>';
}
