Default Using Turn ads off field in a conditional

Morgan, can you give us an example of how you would test for the setting of the field used to turn GAB ads off in a conditional?

Basically we're trying to setup out "Recent Posts" menu to exclude a specific forum (that has an RSS feed from EBAY) from the recent posts search results if the member has turned off advertising.

Code:
        <tr>    
                <td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&amp;exclude=257" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
        </tr>
Is basically what the link with the exclusion would look like, while those that didn't have GAB ads turned off would get:

Code:
        <tr>    
                <td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
        </tr>
	
	<tr>
The field we're using for turning GAB ads off is profilefieldid 21 in the profilefield table.

The other way I thought to do this was to check for membership in the group that's allowed to turn ads off sorta like:

Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,61)"><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew&amp;exclude=257" accesskey="2">Get New Posts</a></td>
	</tr>
        <tr></if>
While members not in that group get the search without the exclusion,
but that's a bit imprecise as they may be allowed to turn them off but have them still turned on.

Anyway, any assistance or syntax you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

[edit]Actually, it might be better to tie it to whatever GAB looks at as a condition? In case members that don't have the right to turn ads off have that field set anyway. [/edit]

Try either $vbulletin->userinfo['field21'] or $bbuserinfo['field21'] in a code or template conditional respectively.
