How to use Template Conditional Statements with Template Hook / Listener?

[querschlaeger]

Hello,

I created a very simple Code Event Listener to extend a template:

<?php
class Demo_Listener
{
    public static function templateHook($hookName, &$contents, array $hookParams, XenForo_Template_Abstract $template)
    {
        switch($hookName)
        {
            case 'ad_above_content':
            {
                $contents .= 'Lorem Ipsum';
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

Works without a problem. But how can I use Conditional Statements here?

This does not work (show the text to guests only):

<?php
class Demo_Listener
{
    public static function templateHook($hookName, &$contents, array $hookParams, XenForo_Template_Abstract $template)
    {
        switch($hookName)
        {
            case 'ad_above_content':
            {
                $contents .= '<xen:if is="!{$visitor.user_id}">Lorem Ipsum</xen:if>';
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

Is there a way to get the content of $visitor object?

Use template modifications.

(Admin CP > Appearance > Template Modifications)

Template hooks are deprecated.

Ok, good to know.

It seems with TMS I can search and replace some stuff. But what shall I search in the template ad_above_content? It has no really content...
Are there any example and/or tutorials about TMS?

The ad_above_content template has this: <xen:hook name="ad_above_content" />

So you can use that to do a find/replace.
