XF 2.0 Accessing Value from xf_forum in the Node List

[jmurrayhead]

Bear with me as I've spent over a decade with .NET and C# and this is very different than I'm used to. So far I've managed to add a column to xf_forum and manipulate the data in that column from the edit forum template. All is good there. Now I want to access that value from the node_list_forum template. What would be the most appropriate way of going about this? I imagine it would involve extending the Node entity, maybe by adding a relation to Forum? Is modifying the relations like that even possible?

Thanks

Hmm .. if you've added a column to xf_forum you should have also extended the structure for \XF\Entity\Forum

I'd be interesting to know how you updated the column from edit forum without modifying the structure

If you've done all that, you should be able to access to forum entity by using $node->getData() in macro forum

Yeap, I've done all that. Will check out $node->getData(), but where do I find the macro forum? I noticed there are macro templates from the admincp, but didn't find anything relevant.

Thanks for the assist!

The macro forum is the 4th macro in tempate node_list_forum

You're my hero today.

For anyone else that is new to this like me, I was attempting to perform conditional logic based on my addon column. It looks like this within the macro inside the template:

<xf:if is="{$node->getData().my_addon_column}">do some stuff, brotha....<xf:else />do some other stuff, main....</xf:if>
