XF 1.3 How can I create a hook for all forums of a single category?

[rhodes]

Hello,

I use his code to show some widgets only in the sidebar of a single forum. In this example it is the forum with id=7.

<xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} == 7">
<xen:hook name=„myhook“... />
</xen:if>

My forum structure is like this

Category 5
forum 6
forum 7
forum 8
…

Now I would like to create „myhook“ in all forums of category 5. Is it possible without repeating the code from above for every forum ID?

regards, rhodes

Try this:

<xen:if is="{$forum.parent_node_id} == x">
This content will show in forums of parent x
</xen:if>

May I ask one last question?

When I try to create the hook for a category page like this

<xen:if is="{$category.node_id} == 16">
This content will show in sidebar of category id 16
</xen:if>

it won't work. Any ideas?

That will only work if you have categories set as pages in the ACP -> Options -> Node & Forum List: Create Pages for Categories.
