XF 2.1 Need help with a conditional array for nodes to not display ads

[djbaxter]

I am trying to restrict ads from showing on certain pages and in certain nodes.

So I have this to not display on the main forum index and it works:

<xf:if is="$xf.reply.template !== 'forum_list'"> followed by the ad code and the closing </xf:if>.

Now I tried to restrict display from certain nodes in an array but this does not work:

<xf:if is = "!in_array($forum.node_id, [302,293,291,294,323,298,301,290,296,288,320,319,321,318])">

What am I doing wrong with that array?

Also, eventually I want to combine the two, possibly with templates in an array as well. Any help with how to do that?

This should work to combine them and allow the nodes to work through the ad system ( it needed __globals)

<xf:if is="$xf.reply.template !== 'forum_list' AND !in_array($__globals.forum.node_id, [302,293,291,294,323,298,301,290,296,288,320,319,321,318])">

Perfect! Thank you @Russ!

@Russ
If I want to add another template or two to that conditional, should I just use AND and add the other(s)?

Or would it be better to put the templates into an array as well?

I think you'd want to use an array. To be honest, when ads start getting this complicated sometimes I just recommend a plugin like https://xenforo.com/community/resources/ads-manager-2-lite-by-siropu.7002/ as it's pretty darn nice to have an interface to select nodes, templates, and whatnot. Of course, make sure it would actually work for your needs

Agreed. I use that on another forum and it's perfect.

I'll check with the owner of this forum and see if he's willing to purchase it.
