questions!

[pokash]

I haven't had any succes with this. Is this the right code to use:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 3">
stuff
</if>

And when
Where in the showthread template should I add this code to have it under the navbar?

[Lynne]

Did you try $thread[forumid] (or even $threadinfo[forumid]) which was the other variable I suggested (I have a feeling $forum may not be registered)? If you want it right under the navbar, then I'd put it right under where it says "{vb:raw navbar}".

[pokash]

Both of those don't seem to be working either. Could you give an example of what the code might look like?

I have tried many different things with this code already and I'm having no succes of any content showing above the forums.

How do I know what id a certain forum is? Is it the display order? or the name? or something else?

Also I keep getting this error:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

The conditional on line 84 appears to be missing its beginning tag (<if>). This may cause unexpected behavior.

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.

Ack! I missed that this was in the vb4 section.

<vb:if condition="$thread[forumid] == xx">
stuff
</vb:if>

Try that (or $threadinfo[forumid]). You would get the forumid from the forum manager. Seelct a forum to edit, and on the top it will say something like "Forum: Main Category (id: 1)". In that case, it is forumid 1.

I've tried many different settings position templates but I never see any content. Also when I go to the ad manager and give the condition of a specific forum it doesn't show anything either.

Are you making changes to the correct style? Try not using a condition and just put HELLO in there. Add the condition after you verify that you are actually modifying the templates correctly.

[pokash]

<vb:if condition="hello">
stuff
</vb:if>

If I put this in the adtemplate I can see the content. But when I put in the showthread template wherever I put I don't see anything.

When I do put an condition in the ad template I again get nothing. Like this:
<vb:if condition="$thread[forumid] == 3">
stuff
</vb:if>

Even if I just put a div with content on the showthread template I see nothing.

So maybe I should continue with the ad template?

Then try $threadinfo['forumid']. Is there a forum with the id of 3? Which ad template are you using? Check to see if the variable $thread is even registered for use in it. If not, then you need to either preregister it or just use the showthread template.

[pokash]

If in the advertising I put in the condition: Show If user is browsing forum: ''. Then nothing shows at all either.

I have tried all variations. Yes there is a forum with id 3 and I have tried many other as well. And like I said in the showthread template I can't get any content to show at all.


How do I register the variable $thread?

Then you are doing something wrong. I just tested this by adding these lines below the navbar in the SHOWTHREAD template:

<vb:if condition="$threadinfo['forumid'] == 2">
<div>stuff</div>
</vb:if>

And I got this in showthread.php in forumid 2:
