XF 1.5 Conditional Statements with URL portions

[NinaMcI]

Hi,
I've been trying to hide the content of an ad_ template from a page node.
However the page node has a URL portion instead of a node ID.
How do I write conditional statements where there is no node ID?

<xen:if is="!{$page.node_id} == ???">

Thanks for your help

The node ID still exists in code, it just isn't exposed to the URL.

Which ad template are you adding that to?
The $page param may not be available there.
You can check using:

{xen:helper dump, $page}

If that returns NULL, it's not available.

Hi @Brogan
I'm trying to add it to ad_above_top_breadcrumb
Not sure how to to run the check as you suggest.

 

[Paul B]

Add that code to the template and load the page.

 

[NinaMcI]

I've added it to template ad_above_top_breadcrumb and then saved it.
When you say load the page, what page are you referring to?

 

[NinaMcI]

Ah sorry. Yes I get NULL above the content.

 

[NinaMcI]

Is there a way round this?

 

[NinaMcI]

Found it!
I added

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

to the pagenode_container template.

Yes, I was just about to respond with that - it's referenced at the bottom of the preamble text here: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/conditional-statements.1604/

Although it specifically only mentions the PAGE_CONTAINER template, so I'll update it to make it clearer that it also applies to the pagenode_container template.

@NinaMcI, you prompted me to add a specific guide for this, which is something I've been meaning to do for a long time ...

That's great @Brogan - thank you
