Conditional to hide content on a page?

[CTXMedia]

I've checked the FAQ and couldn't see anything for this - I have created a page at the URL "/pages/advertise/" which displays my BuySellAds site details to potential advertisers - but I don't want ads shown on this specific page.

Is there a conditional to exclude "pages"?

Thanks,
Shaun

Would this not do it?

When working with arrays, the ! is placed just before the argument.
For example, <xen:if is="in_array({$forum.node_id}, array(x, y, z))"> for true, <xen:if is="!in_array({$forum.node_id}, array(x, y, z))"> for false.

Depending on the template being worked with, you may need to use $user instead of $visitor; $visitor is always the record for the current logged in user, $user is the record being processed (e.g. message author, member list, list of online users, etc.).

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; the headeror 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>.

EDIT: and then use the node_id of the page you just created?

Thanks Matt, but no, none of those appear to work with pages.

replace 3 with the page node ID that you need to do something for or avoid doing something for..
you need to wrap the second one around your ads


if is

<xen:if is="{$page.node_id} ==3">
 
    blah blah
 
</xen:if>

if is not

<xen:if is="{$page.node_id} !=3">
 
    blah blah
 
</xen:if>

thought I would let you know...I could not find the opening body tag on any page in your site

I assume you are working in the container scope. The page record isn't available there, unlike the forum record. But when all else fails you can check the URI:

Thanks - I hadn't noticed, but somewhere along the line I've removed this line from the PAGE_CONTAINER template:

<body{xen:if {$bodyClasses}, ' class="{$bodyClasses}"'}>

Suffice to say it's back in there now ...

Thanks Jake - I tried that too but unfortunately it didn't work.

I've removed the page for now and put a link under the ads instead. I'll revisit this again later on, it's not all that important.
