Forum Block in single Forum

Hi all,

I am trying to add a forum block that I want to display only in one of my subforums.
I am using it to create a menu that relates only to that single sub forum.

Any advice on how I could achieve this?

Thank you all for your usual helpfulness.

have you done a search for a plugin for it

Are you creating a "Custom HTML/PHP" forum block? You can try this: Go to the style manager and copy the code of the "block_html" template, then create a new template and paste the code and surround it with an if, like this:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['forumid'] == X">



// code from block_html goes here



</vb:if>

(of course you'll replace X with your forumid).

Then at the bottom of forum block configuration page there's a "Template to Use" field. You can put the name of your new template there.

Excellent just the kind of info I was after. Really appreciate the help, I will give that a try.

Thanks again ;)

ok so I tried this, but when I save the new template i get this error...

Code:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:



Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/digitale/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(5432) : eval()'d code on line 1



This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Here is the template that im trying to save...

Code:

<vb:if contents="$GLOBALS['forumid'] == 156'>

<li>

        <div class="block smaller">

                <div class="blocksubhead">

                        <a class="collapse" id="collapse_block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img alt="" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" id="collapseimg_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}"/></a>

                        <span class="blocktitle">{vb:raw blockinfo.title}</span>

                </div>

                <div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer">

                <div id="block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" class="blockrow">

                        {vb:raw content}

                </div>

                </div>

        </div>

        <div class="underblock"></div>

</li>

</vb:if>

That's my fault, there's a mistake in the code I posted. The first line should be:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['forumid'] == 156">

Sorry.

</li>

</vb:if>

Oh, yeah - it's "condition", not "contents":

Code:

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['forumid'] == 156">

I have no idea what I was thinking that day.
