XF 1.4 different sidebar to what node/thread is displayed

[secnam]

Hi

Is it possible to show a different sidebar as to what node the member is on. for example if they where on the cars discussions node/threads i can display sidebar banners but if on a motorbike node/thread i show banners for motorbikes.

Thanks in advance.

There is no sidebar on the thread view template by default so I presume you are using an add-on.

You should be able to use conditional statements utilising the node ID to display different content for each node.

Hi, i am not using anything at present as i am just setting up the forum. You are correct it doesn't show a sidebar on any threads this is why i was asking is it possible and if so can anyone help/guide me on how to achieve this.

Check out [bd] Widget Framework in the resources here.

You will need to ask in the add-on thread.
