How do I show an ad in the forum view but not in related threads?

[badlands]

Hi there,

I want to place an ad / text that is only shown in the forum view, but not in the threads below. When I use this conditional below the ad is also shown in all threads (thread views) relating to the specific forum. Thanks for a brief hint!

<xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} == 4" >
Banner B
</xen:if>

In the container scope (ie PAGE_CONTAINER template) you can use this:

<xen:if is="{$contentTemplate} == 'template_here'">

</xen:if>

You just need the template name:

In your case you want to check for the "forum_view" template:

<xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} == 4 AND {$contentTemplate} == 'forum_view'" >
Banner B
</xen:if>
