XF 1.1 Category under a Parent category, xen:if is not working

[rdn]

My Forum structure:

Main category1

Forum2
Forum3
Category4

Forum5​

I have this code to hide on a certain category.

<xen:if is="{$category.node_id} != 4">
This content will not show in category 4
</xen:if>

From the FAQ:

Note that in order for this to work, you must have categories set as pages in the ACP -> Options -> Node & Forum List: Create Pages for Categories.

 

[rdn]

Yes, It's a Page category.

And I'm using the condition inside ad_ templates,
ad_below_content / top both not working.

 

[Paul B]

Can you post a link to the category?

 

[rdn]

Can you post a link to the category?

It's hidden section.
I can PM you.

 

[rdn]

PM'ed.

Just checked the source code and the node id is 159.

 

[rdn]

It's not a category?
it's a node?
My 1st post is just an example.

 

[Jeremy]

Categories are a type of node in XenForo, just like pages, link forums, and forums.

 

[Paul B]

Just to follow up on this, the category node ID isn't available in the ad templates.

To make it available you have to add this to the category_view template:

<xen:container var="$category.node_id">{$category.node_id}</xen:container>

Big thanks to @Chris Deeming for the solution.
Wish I'd asked him sooner instead of wasting time trying to get my incorrect xen:container code working

Thanks for the help @Brogan and @Chris Deeming and also @King Kovifor
It works now as expected
