ForumID - categorieID ? equivalent

[Ghostt]

is there a equivalent for the CategorieID (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=211) like in comparison with forumID (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=111) ?

examples:

CategorieID (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=211)
forumID (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=111)


what i want is the categorieID equivalent for this condition

<if condition="in_array($thread['forumid'], array(1,2,3,6))"></if>

The categoryid is the forumid.

[Ghostt]

but the condition seems not to work with categorieID why?

[Lynne]

Are you trying to do a condition that only uses the category id to cover all the child forums also? I think you need to first get the child forumids. Take a look at the API (in Quick Links dropdown) and I think there is a function something like fetch_child_ids or fetch_child_forumids and you can look that up.

[Ghostt]

yes thats what i am trying to do. but i have no idea how to combinate this childforums api with the condition code :(

[Lynne]

Play with it and see. I believe you get a array from the function. then you can use the array in your condition.

Post what you try and what the results are.

[Ghostt]

ist it this function?
fetch_child_forums

fetch_child_forums (line 389)
void fetch_child_forums ( $parentid, [ $return = 'STRING'], [ $glue = ','])

$parentid
$return
$glue



if yes, that shouldnt work or?
<if condition="fetch_child_forums($thread['forumid'], fetch_child_forums(1,2,3,6))"></if>

[Lynne]

No. You would want to use the function first to fetch the child forums (in a plugin) and then use the results of that plugin in your condition.

ok i thought it would be easyer , so i have no chance :(
but thanks for trying.
