XF 1.4 Hide Ads in X Forum?

Michael · Mar 21, 2015

I am wanting to hide ads in a specific forum and from all threads within that forum, the templates I use are a couple of the ad templates and my own custom template which is grabbed within the thread_view template.

Anyone know how to do this I have tried with this:
<xen:if is="!{$forum.node_id} == 44">

But that only works in some templates.

Thank you.

Which ad templates are you using that in?

It will only work if the parameter is available in the template.

I have tried adding this to the top of the thread_view template in the <head>:

<xen:container var="$forumId">{$forum.node_id}</xen:container>

and then using the

<xen:if is="!{$forum.node_id} == 44">

But it doesnt appear to have any effect and hides the content within all nodes instead of the one.

Use <xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} != 44">

Thank you so much Brogan, do you know how to make that work for multiple forums to hide ads in those too? It works perfectly now, I also moved the container code to the top of the page_container template.

Use an array: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/conditional-statements.1604/

Thank you I tried but it didnt work for me I used:

<xen:if is="!in_array({$forum.node_id}, array(44, 52))">

Anyone know how I can convert <xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} != 44"> to an array so I can use multiple forum IDs?

This is the syntax:

Code:

<xen:if is="!in_array({$forum.node_id}, array(x, y, z))">

Thanks Brogan I tried again, it was cached and I was seeing zero changes, upon emptying the cache it works as intended
