[bd] Widget Framework 2.6.6

[Andy.N]

OK, in the latest version, I see that xfrocks leaves this note
XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::helperIsMemberOf($visitor, 3) -- means: show the widget for users of user group #3 only.

What if I want a negate of that, show the widget if they are not in usergroup #3 only

And how to show widgets only to usergroups x,y,z only?

XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::helperIsMemberOf($visitor, 3) == false

And how to show widgets only to usergroups x,y,z only?

XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::helperIsMemberOf($visitor, x)
OR XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::helperIsMemberOf($visitor, y)
OR XenForo_Template_Helper_Core::helperIsMemberOf($visitor, z)

Excellent. Thanks very much.

I think you should add a few of these on the first post or inside the addon. I have seen many questions on conditionals so it would be good to have some FAQ to cover the topic.

The next one:
How to display a widget on forumid X, Y, Z?
How to display a widget if they are not under X, Y, Z?
Can we use categoryid instead? That way, show widget under category X would cover all the forums under this category.
Thanks

That's good advice, I will put it somewhere.

How to display a widget on forumid X, Y, Z?

You need to use forum_view position:

in_array($forum['node_id'], array(X, Y, Z))

How to display a widget if they are not under X, Y, Z?

Also need to use forum_view:

in_array($forum['node_id'], array(X, Y, Z)) == false

Can we use categoryid instead? That way, show widget under category X would cover all the forums under this category.

Need to use forum_view:

$forum['parent_node_id'] == $categoryid

Lot of good tips.
I mean to ask how to show widgets on sidebar of threads (thread_view) that are under forums X, Y, Z.

Oh, those 3 conditions can be use in thread_view too.

 

[Andy.N]

I'm making great progress, thanks to your tips on these conditions.
1) How do I negate this condition i.e showing when it's not under this category

$forum['parent_node_id'] == $categoryid

2) I notice that if I have this structure
Category A (id 1)
--Forum B (id 2)
-----Subforum 1
-----Subforum 2

Then to use the condition like in 1) I can't just use category id A but have to include forumid B for it to work for threads in subforum 1 and 2. It appears only threads that directly under will take this condition.
So, to hide a widget for all threads in subforum 1 and 2, this is the condition I use
in_array($forum['parent_node_id'], array(1, 2)) == false instead of using only id from category A.

3) Using the above condition and this position list EWRporta_Portal,forum_list,thread_view I will get error "Undefined variable: forum" on the forum home.

Yes, you are correct.

You can not use $forum in EWRporta_Portal.

 

[Andy.N]

You can not use $forum in EWRporta_Portal.

I tried different things for postion
1) All
This will result in same error on every thread sidebar.
2) forum_list, thread_view
This will result in same error on forum index.

So I guess the solution is to create a duplicate widget for the EWRporta and forum home. Can't use one for everything I guess

Ah, you can't use $forum in forum_list either. You can add more condition to make it works in all kind of templates but it's not good practice I think. Unless you really want to use the same widget...

 

[Andy.N]

All I want is to NOT show the sidebar banner to my paying students in threads under private forums
Not sure if there is a much simpler way to go.
If I use usergroup condition, they can't see the banner in the public threads.

So you want to show the banner everywhere except in private forums?

 

[Andy.N]

Yes

 

[xfrocks]

Yes

Something like this may work for you

empty($forum) OR in_array($forum['parent_node_id'], array(1, 2)) == false

 

[Andy.N]

Thank you very much. It works again.
I'm really impressed with how powerful and flexible your add on is. I think more documentation will help people unleash more power from it.

 

[FloV]

Did you ever get the answer for this?

i figured it out by myself. You can use XenForo_Visitor::getInstance()->isMemberOf(XX)

Thanks for the continuous updates XFRocks. Very happy with it.

One thing though are the conditionals. Can they be completely disabled somewhere as I prefer to set my own via the templates I call them from. Now they are overruled it seems.

If you don't want to use the conditions, just leave it empty.

 

[Bram]

I use the conditionals in the normal template but when i leave the box empty it shows the widget to all users and not longer just to the groups I described in the template

What is your template <xen:if /> and what is the condition in the widget? I assume you are trying to use the HTML renderer?
