XF 2.2 How to hide a widget using display conditions on a specific page?

[Ferry]

Hi,
Looks like I'm making a mistake somewhere in the display condition.
I need to hide a widget from multiple pages, but nothing works.

If I use

$xf.reply.template !== 'whats_new'

it works.
But when trying to add another page nothing works

$xf.reply.template !== 'whats_new, whats_new_profile_posts'

What am I doing wrong?

You need to use the array syntax.

I tried using an array, but it doesn't seem to work in my case

$xf.reply.template !== [('whats_new'),('whats_new_profile_posts')]

That's not the correct syntax.

!in_array($xf.reply.template, ['whats_new', 'whats_new_profile_posts'])

That's not the correct syntax.

!in_array($xf.reply.template, ['whats_new', 'whats_new_profile_posts'])

As always, thank you from the bottom of my heart

I did something like this for a widget that I wanted to show certain things from depending on the situation. You may be able to adapt it for what you want: Edit! Ninjad in solution post lol

<xf:foreach loop="$threads" value="$thread">
                                <xf:if is="in_array($thread.node_id, [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9])">
                            <li class="block-row">
                                <a href="{{ link('threads', $thread) }}" rel="nofollow"><img class="moviePoster" src="https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w342{$thread.Movie.tmdb_image}"/></a>
                                <xf:macro template="thread_list_macros" name="item_new_threads"
                                    arg-thread="{$thread}" />
                            </li>
                                   
                                    </xf:if>
                                <xf:if is="in_array($thread.node_id, [21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28])">
                            <li class="block-row">
                                <a href="{{ link('threads', $thread) }}" rel="nofollow"><img class="tvPoster" src="{$thread.TV.getImageUrl('l')}" /></a>
                                <xf:macro template="thread_list_macros" name="item_new_threads"
                                    arg-thread="{$thread}" />
                            </li>
                                    </xf:if>
                        </xf:foreach>

Appreciated it, it might be useful for the future

That's not the correct syntax.

Thanks so much for the proper code!

My variation on this is that I have four widgets that I'd like to hide a handful of pages. The widgets are pretty standard stuff (new posts from two forrums, some super basic custom HTML using the built-in tools, etc), but I don't want them showing on

/approval-queue
/reports
/members
or anything after /account (preferences, privacy, etc.)

So would it be better to try to do this in the page templates, or in the Display condition of the individual widgets?

Thanks!
