custom code in vanbar based on forum id

[sailnet]

I have several forums where I'd like to display a certain graphic under the navbar for specific forum id's.

how can this be done?

I'm sure it's possible I just don't know how.

thanks in advance.

for forum 1, use an image like "myimage1.png" and for forum 2, use "myimage2.png", etc. Then you can just change the 1,2 in the image name depending on the forumid.

I understand that but how do I write the code that goes inside the template.

can I write this?

<if condition $foruminfo[forumid] = 'n'>

some statements

</if>

No, just write:

<vb:if condition="in_array($forum[forumid], array(x,y,z))">
<img src="myimage{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" />
</vb:if>

(I'm not sure that variable will work - it depends on what template you put the code in)

Hi Lynne, you're lost in vb4
try

<if condition=""in_array($forum[forumid], array(x,y,z))">
<img src="myimage"+$forum[forumid] alt="" />
</if>

I'm on vb 3.84 - I did find that this work fine for me also.

<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 55">
<h1>this is a test</h1>
</if>

[Simon Lloyd]

That will work but you wanted to call an image not just show text, if you name your images whateverxx where xx would be the forumid that they would show for my code (and indeed Lynnes for VB4) should display the right image for the right forum.

thanks simon - my basic challange is that on certain forums I need to display one graphic at the top - on all other forums I need to include from google code that display s a banner ad from google.

so I'm having a little trouble with the structure of the code to test for multiple forum id and display a unique graphic for each of the 'special' forum id's ELSE display the google ad.

My guess is that I am face with this code.

<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 55">
display image1
else <if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 155">
display image2
else <if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 159">
display image3
else
insert my google ad code here.

[Simon Lloyd]

It would be

<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 55">
<img src="/mypicturepath/mypic1" /></if>
<else />
<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 155">
<img src="/mypicturepath/mypic2" /></if>
<else /> <if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 159">....etc </if>
