XF 1.3 How to put ad only on homepage

[Robby]

Hello,

I would like to put an ad on the first page below the top breadcrumb. How can i prevent it to be shown on other pages?

Use a template conditional statement.

I don't see any conditional statements for just displaying on the home page.
Just with forum id but the homepage doesn't have that.

You could modify the forum_list template and add what you want to show accordingly.

If you want to show something below the navigation, then you should modify above:

<xen:hook name="forum_list_nodes">
    <xen:if is="{$renderedNodes}"><xen:include template="node_list" /></xen:if>
</xen:hook>

Do i just have to put a template where it says include template in the code?

If by "home" page you mean the forum list, then:

How can I show content on a specific page?
<xen:if is="{$contentTemplate} == 'forum_list'">
This content will show on the forum list
</xen:if>

Yes that's it, thanks man!

Hi, sorry for bringing up a super old thread.
I'm using this for showing ads in my ad_above_top_breadcrumb, works fine. Then I wanted to randomize some ads, and it works fine for this rule: <xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} == 'number of forum'">

But I get a syntax error when I try to put my randomize code in <xen:if is="{$contentTemplate} == 'forum_list'">

The randomize code is like this:

<xen:if is="{$contentTemplate} == ’forum_list’”>
<xen:set var="$banners.1"><a href="ad1.php" target="_blank"><img src="ad1.jpg" width="100%" alt="ad 1"></a></xen:set>
<xen:set var="$banners.2"><a href="ad2.php" target="_blank"><img src="ad2.jpg" width="100%" alt="ad 2"></a></xen:set>
{xen:raw '$banners.{xen:calc '({$serverTime} % 2) + 1'}'}
</xen:if>





Is there another way to solve this? Putting my randomize ads on the first/main page - the forum list that is.

Maybe try jake's post #5?

Or #9

But there's nothing defining where it should show. :/
I need this to only be shown at the first page, the forum listing.

 

[xenfans]

compared viewName against XenForo_ViewPublic_Forum_List, it's what i use to limit showing something on just forum's index.

How do I use that to define it in my code snippet for randomizing banners then? :/

 

[xenfans]

if we're on the homepage {
.... your loop here
}

So, <xen:if is="{$contentTemplate} == ’XenForo_ViewPublic_Forum_List’”> ?

 

[xenfans]

viewName. Like i said.

 

[daviden]

viewName. Like i said.

So, where do I write viewName then? I don't know too much about how to define this, or the scripting in the templates.

Let's start at the beginning for you.

What template are you trying to add your conditionals to, to try and show your random banners? What's the name of that template?

Same as the one I mentioned above: ad_above_top_breadcrumb

Doesn't show here, because the viewName isn't the XenForo_ViewPublic_Forum_List



Does show here, because it matches.




Here's how I edited the template.
