XF 2.0 $forum Variables in Adverts

[hqarrse]

I'm trying to use variables from $forum in the advertising slots but they don't seem to be available in the Post slots.

For example, I'd like to do the following in Post:Below message content

<xf:if is="{$forum.node_id}==1">
    One ad
<xf:elseif is="{$forum.node_id}==2"/>
    A different ad
<xf:else />
    Ad #3
</xf:if>

Any thoughts on if this is possible and how I might do it?

TIA

Enter {{ dump(vars()) }} in the ad postion to see what variables are available and in what format.

It may be necessary to append $__globals to it.

That works a treat. Many thanks indeed for the speedy response

For others this is what works:

<xf:if is="{$__globals.forum.node_id}==1">
   One ad
<xf:elseif is="{$__globals.forum.node_id}==2"/>
   A different ad
<xf:else />
  Ad #3
</xf:if>

Just had a quick look and it appears you can also use $__globals.thread.node_id.

You should even be able to use $post.Thread.node_id

Spoilt for choice!

I was also looking at other $forum variables but thanks for pointing all those out!

You can get the full forum record too and any of its fields like this: $post.Thread.Forum.node_id
