Is there a function that can be used to determin wether a forum is a child of another forum? I think this would work, but I am wondering if there is a better solution, one where I wouldn't have to state every possible forum that would be a child of another forum. Just use the one forumid for the parent forum to test if the current forum is a child of it.

<if condition="!in_array($forumid, array(X, Y))">

I want to put custom ads in a section of my forum that contains many sub-sections.

Poking around the vBulletin code I found the variable $forum['parentlist'] which may be able to help. From what I can tell it is a comma separated list of the parent forumids of a section. But how to use this data in a template conditional?
