XF 2.0 how to use forum id in templates?

[skullkrusher]

this is my code:

<xf:if is="$forum.node_id == 17">
    do something specific for forum with id 17
<xf:else/>
    do something for all other forums
</xf:if>

 

[skullkrusher]

im not sure why it doesnt work, are the variables wrong?

 

[Ozzy47]

It should be this:

<xf:if is="$forum.node_id == x">
               Show content..
<xf:else/>
    do something for all other forums
</xf:if>

 

[skullkrusher]

ah ok thanks il try it

 

[Ozzy47]

Not a problem.

 

[skullkrusher]

it didnt work @ozzy47
im using this in the quick-reply template, is it possible that it doesnt have access to the variable?

 

[skullkrusher]

i updated the op, still need help

 

[Ozzy47]

Not sure, it may not be available, but one would think it should be.

 

[skullkrusher]

apparently it isnt available in quick-reply
i just put the code in thread-view and now it works
so fixed with a workaround

Glad you were able to come up with an alternative method.
