How do I use a conditional for a specific node in a template?

[Paul B]

I want to try and remove the breadcrumbs from a specific page.

So I started off by editing the PAGE_CONTAINER template like so:

<xen:if is="{$node.node_id} !={$page.node_id}">
<div class="breadBoxTop">
<xen:if is="{$topctrl}"><div class="topCtrl">{xen:raw $topctrl}</div></xen:if>
<xen:include template="breadcrumb"><xen:set var="$microdata">1</xen:set></xen:include>
</div>
</xen:if>

The if statement is my addition to try and remove the breadcrumbs for any node which is a page but it doesn't work.
It actually removes the (top) breadcrumb from every page view.

Ultimately I want to be able to change the xen:if to use a specific node id (55) so I can use a Page as the home page without the breadcrumbs top and bottom.

Help appreciated

Make it a step simpler? If page.node_id is not set, show breadcrumb.

 

[Paul B]

Yeah I tried that too, it does nothing

 

[Floris]

in PAGE_CONTAINER the $page.node_id is always empty it seems.

== ! means something very different from !=

Go easy on us learners

I tried using <xen:if is="{$node.node_id} != {$page.node_id}"> and that removes the breadcrumbs from every node.

Similarly if I use <xen:if is="{$node.node_id} == {$page.node_id}"> then the breadcrumbs are visible on every node.

I can't seem to remove them just for page nodes.

Try checking if {$node.node_type_id} == 'Page'. node_type_id can be either Page, Forum, LinkForum, or Category (possibly more if you have an addon that defines more).

Why dont you just use:

<xen:if is="{$node.node_type_id} != 'Page'">

edit: looks like Indigo already answered it... oops

 

[Paul B]

Thanks guys, unfortunately that also doesn't work.

 

[Indigo]

It sounds like you wanted to hide the breadcrumbs from a page node with ID = 55? Technically you shouldn't even need to check the type.

<xen:if is="{$node.node_id} != 55">
<!-- breadcrumbs -->
</xen:if>

Unless $node is not defined in that context.

 

[Paul B]

Still no go

 

[Itworx4me]

Should it be:

<xen:if is="{$node.node_id} != '55'">
<!-- breadcrumbs -->
</xen:if>

 

[Paul B]

Still not working

I should turn this into a competition to see who can work it out first.
I have a feeling though it's not possible in this particular template.

 

[Itworx4me]

Why not try your code in the pagenode_container template?

 

[Paul B]

I've tried it there also, without success.

Oh well, I'll put it on the back-burner for now.

I just thought it would have been nice to show pages without the breadcrumbs so they looked less like part of the forum and more like an html page with the same header and footer.

Did it with:

<xen:if is="{$quickNavSelected} != 'node-3'">
	<div class="breadBoxTop">
	<xen:if is="{$topctrl}"><div class="topCtrl">{xen:raw $topctrl}</div></xen:if>
	<xen:include template="breadcrumb"><xen:set var="$microdata">1</xen:set></xen:include>
	</div>
</xen:if>

Replace "node-3" with "node-55" or any number you want. Repeat for bottom breadcrumbs if necessary. This was in beta 3 (haven't gotten around to upgrading), so hopefully quickNavSelected hasn't changed since then.

Indigo: Can the breadcrumb be eliminated for things like: Members Tab, Home Page, Tab XYZ, Wiki Tab, Media Tab, Staff Tab...

[Paul B]

Many thanks Indigo.
I would never have thought of using the quickNavSelected for the if.

That's going to be extremely useful for my home "Page".



I've created a thread in the template mod's forum for anyone else who might find this useful.

Does this still work xenforo RC1 ?
