XF 1.1 Thread Creator Template Conditional

[Brent W]

I need to have a conditional that won't show advertisements on threads created by a certain userid.

Haha, I was thinking that I had asked that before but couldn't find it for some reason. Guess I am blind.

Thanks

Hmm this doesn't appear to work.

<xen:if is="{$thread.user_id} != 6859">
<xen:if is="!{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, 9}">
<!-- book_160x600 -->
<div id='div-gpt-ad-1362983438283-0' style='width:160px; height:600px;'>
<script type='text/javascript'>
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1362983438283-0'); });
</script>
</div>
</xen:if>
</xen:if>

That still shows advertisements for threads started by that member.

Which template are you adding that to?

 

[Brent W]

Three of the ad templates and page_container_js_head

Ah, that conditional will only work in the post and message templates.

Just checked with Mike and he suggested something like this.

<xen:container var="$isThreadOwner">{xen:if '{$thread.user_id} == {$visitor.user_id}', 1}</xen:container>

Then just <xen:if is="{$isThreadOwner}"> in the container.

He also said to name the variable $hideAd or something so a different condition could be applied elsewhere and it would make sense.
