Help with PHP (if, elseif, else) Statements

    G’day,

    I would greatly appreciate some assistance with (2) separate php statements.

    I have uploaded gd-star-ratings and need to display different multi-rating blocks based on the category a post is located in.

    Note: These rating blocks are being integrated into the comments section via comments.php and template_functions.php (Hybrido Theme)

    =====================================

    COMMENTS.PHP

    ORIGINAL STATEMENT (Works)

    <?php if (defined("STARRATING_INSTALLED")) : ?>
<label for="url"><small>Rating</small></label>
<p><?php wp_gdsr_comment_integrate_multi_rating(2); ?>
</p><?php endif; ?>

    NEW STATEMENTS

    <?php if (in_category('9') && defined("STARRATING_INSTALLED")) : ?>
<label for="url"><small>Rating</small></label>
<p><?php wp_gdsr_comment_integrate_multi_rating(2); ?>
</p><?php endif; ?>
    <?php if (in_category('18') && defined("STARRATING_INSTALLED")) : ?>
<label for="url"><small>Rating</small></label>
<p><?php wp_gdsr_comment_integrate_multi_rating(3); ?>
</p><?php endif; ?>
    <?php if (in_category('20') && defined("STARRATING_INSTALLED")) : ?>
<label for="url"><small>Rating</small></label>
<p><?php wp_gdsr_comment_integrate_multi_rating(4); ?>
</p><?php endif; ?>

    Not sure if it’s okay to do this way WITHOUT using (if, elseif, else) but it seems to be working with each category showing it’s respective rating block.

    =====================================

    TEMPLATE_FUNCTIONS.PHP

    ORIGINAL STATEMENT (Works)

    <?php if (defined("STARRATING_INSTALLED")) : ?>
<div style="float: right">
<?php  wp_gdsr_comment_integrate_multi_result(get_comment_ID(), 2, 51, "crystal", 16); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; comment_text(); ?> 

<div><?php wp_gdsr_render_comment_thumbs(26); ?></div>

    NOTE: (2) represents the multi rating block ID

    NEW STATEMENTS

    <?php if (in_category('9') && defined("STARRATING_INSTALLED")) : ?>
<div style="float: right">
<?php  wp_gdsr_comment_integrate_multi_result(get_comment_ID(), 2, 51, "crystal", 16); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; comment_text(); ?> 

<div><?php wp_gdsr_render_comment_thumbs(26); ?></div>
    <?php if (in_category('18') && defined("STARRATING_INSTALLED")) : ?>
<div style="float: right">
<?php  wp_gdsr_comment_integrate_multi_result(get_comment_ID(), 3, 51, "crystal", 16); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; comment_text(); ?> 

<div><?php wp_gdsr_render_comment_thumbs(28); ?></div>
    <?php if (in_category('20') && defined("STARRATING_INSTALLED")) : ?>
<div style="float: right">
<?php  wp_gdsr_comment_integrate_multi_result(get_comment_ID(), 5, 51, "crystal", 16); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; comment_text(); ?> 

<div><?php wp_gdsr_render_comment_thumbs(30); ?></div>

    The above format does display correct blocks in comments based on category, BUT the (comment text) and (thumbs block – ID 26) are being shown three times for each comment.

    I have spent a few days trying different (if, elseif, else) statements, but I just can’t seem to get it right.

    If someone has the time to help with these statememts, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Use a condition and tidy it up also moving the image output inside the condition.

    <?php
if( in_category( array( '9','18','20' ) )){
	if(in_category('9')) {
		$rating=2;
		$thumb=26;
	} elseif(in_category('18')){
		$rating=3;
		$thumb=28;
	} elseif(in_category('20')){
		$rating=5;
		$thumb=30;
	} ?>
	<div style="float: right">
		<?php  wp_gdsr_comment_integrate_multi_result(get_comment_ID(), $rating, 51, "crystal", 16); ?>
	</div>
	<?php comment_text(); ?>
	<div><?php wp_gdsr_render_comment_thumbs($thumb); ?></div>
	<?php
} else {
	comment_text();
}
?>

    <?php
if( in_category( array( '9','18','20' ) ) && defined("STARRATING_INSTALLED") ){

    David,

    Thanks so much, I added this to template_functions.php and this works perfectly. I greatly appreciate your time and assistance.

    One question, should I also create a statement based on yours for the (comments.php) page where I simply copied the (if) statement a changed id’s, or are they ok as is? (see top of original post)

    Thanks again.

    Hi not sure on that one but if you have the condition in the template file then I would replicate it in the comments file if required.

    I am not familiar with the theme only looked at the code, I missed the two file part, so yes copy the function, change the div and php calls using the same logic in comments.php without the $thumb parts.

    UNTESTED:

    <?php
if( in_category( array( '9','18','20' ) )){
	if(in_category('9')) {
		$rating=2;
	} elseif(in_category('18')){
		$rating=3;
	} elseif(in_category('20')){
		$rating=4;
	} ?>
	<label for="url"><small>Rating</small></label>
	<p><?php wp_gdsr_comment_integrate_multi_rating($rating); ?></p>
<?php
}
?>

    Note: You have for category 20, rating 4 in the comments.php and 5 in the template_functions.php section, as per your first post!

    <?php if (is_category('lightbox')) { <br />
};
?>

    I learned this much from this post.

    I have created posts for different lightboxs.

    For lightbox post i have catagory called ‘lightbox’ When i click on link.

    It opens whole post with header and sidebar and everything.

    I was wondering if we can hide header, sidebar, footer everything except that post data. That would be great…

    Please let me know if its possible and how can i achive this.

    Thanks a ton.

    * I am using twenty eleven theme.
