Conditional Statements

[Paul B]

When working with the PAGE_CONTAINER template, you can pass variables from the view templates (category_view, forum_view,thread_view, etc.) using xen:container. The same applies to any templates which are included in the PAGE_CONTAINER template; theheader or ad_header templates for example.
To use the $forum.node_id variable for example, you would add this to the PAGE_CONTAINER template: <xen:container var="$forumId">{$forum.node_id}</xen:container>.
Similarly for the $threadId variable, you would add this: <xen:container var="$threadId">{$thread.thread_id}</xen:container>.

I'm sorry, that's doesn't mean anything to me.

I thought losing 50% of my adsense revenue since moving to XF was bad enough, now it looks like I'm going to lose all of it.

 

[cjwinternet]

I added <xen:container var="$threadId">{$thread.thread_id}</xen:container> as the first line in the page container template.

Doesn't work, no change.

Also added it as first line in the ad templates, doesn't work.

 

[cjwinternet]

This is ridiculous.

I even moved the adsense and conditionals to the page container template and it still doesn't work.

 

[cjwinternet]

Any ideas?

 

[cjwinternet]

I need some help please. I've tried everything suggested so far.

 

[cjwinternet]

So that's it?

Adsense account will now be blocked. Adsense earnings went from 100% on VB to 0% on XF for the record.

Thanks for your help.

Use BD Widget Framework Instead.

@Brogan or anyone who knows.

Is it possible to do it backwards?

42. How can I show content to members who have completed a custom user field?
<xen:if is="{$visitor.customFields.field_id}">
This content will show to members who have completed the custom user field
</xen:if>
Note that field_id must be replaced with the actual custom user field identifier.


For someone who has NOT completed the user field.

<xen:if is="!{$visitor.customFields.field_id}">

The instructions in the resource explain how to change conditions from true to false.

same problem as @cjwinternet

for years i've been successfully preventing adsense from appearing on certain flagged threads by wrapping the adsense code in page_container_js_head using

<xen:if is="!in_array({$threadId}, array(43336,52702,46855,27897,84323,58726,28197,50759,81976,52186,53815,53126,59333,67655,22744))">

I have

<xen:container var="$threadId">{$thread.thread_id}</xen:container>

in page_container and everything works as expected.

Or rather, worked. Last Friday I received a warning email from gGoogle saying ads were appearing on thread 43336 and should be removed... I've no idea when the conditional stopped working, or what caused it.

edit: i'm also blocking all ads for sponsors with

<xen:if is="!{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, 9}">

in page_container_js_head, and that's still working fine

disabling all addons via config.php doesn't help

There was a small mistake in the text, which has now been corrected (surprised it has taken four years to be noticed).

Hello,

I've read through this guide a few times and it is very helpful, so I am sorry if I've overlooked this, but is there a way to show content to a member of multiple user groups? Not show content to multiple user groups, but to a member of multiple user groups?

What I am after is a shorter version of....

<xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, v} AND {xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, w} AND {xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, x} AND {xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, y} AND {xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, z}">

Can this be done?

Thank you

speaking as an idiot who couldn't follow the original text (yet apparently had done some years back when working on a different style), I think it needs to be even more explicit. I had assumed all the references to PAGE_CONTAINER meant the extra bit needed to go in there. So if it were me, I'd go with "Similarly for the $threadId variable, you would add this: <xen:container var="$threadId">{$thread.thread_id}</xen:container> to thread_view"?

 

[Paul B]

I may flesh it out a bit more when I have some time later.

The view templates are explicitly mentioned in an earlier sentence though, so hopefully the association can be made relatively easily.

 

[Paul B]

@RichardKYA, use this for a member who is in any one of mutliple groups:

<xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, x, y, z}">

Unless you mean the member must be a member of all of them, in which case you need to use AND as you have.

Hello,

I want to show an ad in certain forums but not for a specific user group.
I can use this condtional:

<xen:if is="in_array({$forum.node_id}, array(17, 53, 38, 33, 28, 29, 1, 7, 10, 56, 58, 74, 13))">
This content will show in forums x, y, and z
</xen:if>
