Get parent node_id

[Espen Espelund]

I need to style some links based on what category they're in.

<li id="thread-{$thread.thread_id}" class="discussionListItem {$thread.discussion_state}{xen:if '!{$thread.discussion_open}', ' locked'}{xen:if {$thread.sticky}, ' sticky'}{xen:if {$thread.isNew}, ' unread'}{xen:if {$thread.prefix_id}, ' prefix{$thread.prefix_id}'}{xen:if {$thread.isIgnored}, ' ignored'} {xen:if {$showForumLink}, 'threadListNode{$thread.node_id}'}" data-author="{$thread.username}">

Are there some simple way to get the parent node_id in the templates?

<xen:if is="{$category.node_id} == x">

Note that in order for this to work, you must have categories set as pages in the ACP -> Options -> Node & Forum List: Create Pages for Categories.

Or you can try using a node ID conditional: <xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} == x">

It depends where you are applying the styling.

Thanks. Guess I'll have to style the individual node_id's then, since I don't want to enable category pages

You can use the body classes which name the nodes. See my posts in this thread for code examples:

Using the body classes you can cascade down to any element on the page.
