specific style for only one forumid?

[TECK]

what i try to acomplish to use a specifuc html style for a unique forum only, for example forumid 3. so instead of using the classic forumdisplay_threadslist template for example, i want to use a new one. there is always my hard way:
create a new template and use a if condition for the forumid to select the specific template...

i'm not good at all with multiple style integration. can you recommend me what is the best aproach?

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43325" target="_blank">Advanced Templates</a> can help.. After the installation, edit your relevant template and use this format:
[[($forum[forumid]==X)]]
Your specific template for forum X
[[/($forum[forumid]==X)]]
[[($forum[forumid]!=X)]]
Your normal template for other forums
[[/($forum[forumid]!=X)]]

I didnt test it out but I believe it will work..

Why can't you create a new template set, assign it to a style and use that style in only that forum? Easier than hacking.

Or hack forumdisplay:

    // there are threads
    eval("\$forumdisplay[threadslist] = \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_threadslist')."\";");

Change to something like:

    // there are threads
    eval('$forumdisplay[threadslist] = "'.gettemplate(iif($foruminfo['forumid'] == 3, 'forumdisplay_threadslist_specialversion', 'forumdisplay_threadslist')).'";');

that's exacly what i needed chen. thanks! i was gonna do it this way, hacking the gettemplate.
however, i want to learn to create a new template set. anyone knows any links with tutorials? are they available on members area? i could not find them. since styles are part of the default unhacked forums, they should have it included onto the online manual.

ok i created a new style and looked through it.. it adds all templates. cn i just create my own set? with the 3 templates? without replacement set, etc? and put there only the templataes that i'm interested to have them modified? thanks.

also a little detail:
2.2.7|||Master vBulletin Style Set!!!master!!!|||None|||None|||43|||479|||

vBulletin Style Set and master are separated by 3 exclamation marks? can you explain to me what should i replace the "master" word with? ty.

coding is not the same as making template style. i never did one.
so i'm a newbie creating template styles...

oh i see lol.... i still find it hard to believe with all your hacks etc that you are a newbie at making styles etc...

this should aplay also for the child forums if my forumid is a parent forum, right firefly?
or should i use an array just to make sure...?
