Template Parameters

Quiver · May 17, 2013

I am creating an addon which hooks into ad_message_below template.
The addon works. Except for these variables:

Code:

<xen:if is="{$post.position} == 0 AND !{$message.conversation_id}">

I need these variables to work. Please help.

Have you tried:

<xen:if is="{$message.position} == 0 AND !{$message.conversation_id}">

Paul B · May 17, 2013

I can confirm those conditionals work in the ad_ templates, I use them myself.

Here's mine:

Code:

<xen:hook name="ad_message_below" />
 
<xen:if is="{$post.position} % {$xenOptions.messagesPerPage} == 0 AND {$thread.reply_count} > 0">
    <xen:if is="!{$visitor.user_id}">
        <li class="message">
            <div class="messageUserInfo">
                <div class="messageUserBlock">
                    <div class="avatarHolder" style="height: 102px; width: 102px">

Doesn't help. The ad is still appearing in conversations and is still appearing after every post.
Basically the external template which hooks into ad_message_below is ignoring parameters.

I know it works in ad_message_below.
I have a custom template which hooks into ad_message_below via a template listener.
The template works. The only thing not working is the required parameters.

Any idea?

Chris D · May 17, 2013

EDIT: Oh I see. Can I see your Listener?

Jake Bunce · May 17, 2013

That hook doesn't pass any params.

You can access the template object to pull params from the content template, but that won't help you to know which post is currently being iterated. I don't know of any other context to help you to identify the first post. Maybe some one else knows.

Here is the listener file:

Code:

<?php
class TwistedPromotion_TagCloud_Listener_Listener
{
    public static function templateHook($hookName, &$contents, array $hookParams, XenForo_Template_Abstract $template)
    {
        if ($hookName == 'ad_message_below')
        {
            $contents .= $template->create('twistedpromotion_tagcloud');
        }
    }
}
 
?>

The external template twistedpromotion_tagcloud is working.
The ad contained in that template shows in ad_message_below.
But the parameters: <xen:if is="{$post.position} == 0 AND !{$message.conversation_id}">
Which are ALSO defined in twistedpromotion_tagcloud ... well, they are NOT working.

Therefore the ad is appearing after EVERY post and also in Personal Conversations.
Whereas I want it appearing after the first post and not in conversations.
Hence why I used: <xen:if is="{$post.position} == 0 AND !{$message.conversation_id}">

Ideas?

Chris D · May 17, 2013

Try this:

PHP:

<?php
class TwistedPromotion_TagCloud_Listener_Listener
{
    public static function templateHook($hookName, &$contents, array $hookParams, XenForo_Template_Abstract $template)
    {
        if ($hookName == 'ad_message_below')
        {
            $contents .= $template->create('twistedpromotion_tagcloud', $template->getParams());
        }
    }
}
 
?>

            $contents .= $template->create('twistedpromotion_tagcloud', $template->getParams());
        }
    }
}
 
?>

That's not working either:

Chris D · May 17, 2013

Yeah, thought so. It's basically what Jake said.

You need to use the message_below hook instead, but slightly different to what I said earlier.

This works:

Code:

		if ($hookName == 'message_below')
		{
			$contents .= $template->create('twistedpromotion_tagcloud', $hookParams);
		}

Thanks. That's fixed the message appearing after every post issue.
However, it hasn't fixed it from appearing in Personal Conversations.
Any idea how I can get AND !{$message.conversation_id}"> in <xen:if is="{$post.position} == 0 AND !{$message.conversation_id}"> to work?

Chris D · May 17, 2013

It will be: AND !{$post.conversation_id}

$post and $message aren't used together. It's usually one or other.

Thanks, that did the trick.

I must say, that's twice I've hit a stumbling block with XenForo parameters today.
