You can add options like so while viewing the Options screen



As for node_id or user_id it would depend on how you are wanting to use it. Simple things can be achieved with some conditionals in the templates.

@Steve F How do you reference a string of forums ids like "10,15,20,30" in the template?

 

[Steve F]

I think you can do something like below, not absolutely positive of the syntax.

<xen:if is="in_array({$forum.node_id}, array({$xenOptions.YourOptionId}))">
Do Stuff
</xen:if>

<xen:if is="in_array({$forum.node_id}, array({$xenOptions.YourOptionId}))">
Do Stuff
</xen:if>

This does not work with a string. I believe in order for this to work, the string of forum IDs would need to be converted into an array first.

If I would like to create a tms it is only possible to change templates of master-style, but not for substyles.

How can I use it to autochange templates of substyles?
