You could try $forum[forumid] instead of $thread[forumid]. I just looked at my SHOWTHREAD template and I use $forum[forumid] in a condition for a couple of my forums, so I know that works.

Still not working!!
Do I need to do anything elsewhere to make it work?
Is the location correct where I placed it, inserted it?
Can you please post your "condition" with the top and bottom line where it was inserted?

Thanks!!

Are you sure you are changing the template for the correct style you are using? Put an X above it so you can see that it is there:

$header
$navbar

<if condition="$forum[forumid]=='2'">
Testing 2
</if>
<if condition="$forum[forumid]=='7'">
Testing 3
</if>
<if condition="$forum[forumid]=='8'">
Testing 8
</if>


$poll
<if condition="$show['inlinemod']">

I just put that exact condition in the template on my website, only with forumid 12 instead of 2 (I don't have a forumid 2) and it worked just fine. It also worked fine with $thread[forumid] and with $forumid.

My BAD...it is working but in the wrong area, that is why I could never see it.

It is showing up when you open a post, but I need it when you open a thread; back one page. Is it possible??

Followup:
Looks like it's not going to do what I need to do anyway. I have a table code that appears to only work in Posts, Announcement, and Sticky. BB Code [table] does not work with the above method.

I think a problem we are having here is terminology. A thread is made up of lots of posts. A thread is like what we are in right now - it is on the page showthread.php. Perhaps you are talking about the forumdisplay page which is a page that lists the child forums and the thread titles of the threads in that forum - like this page https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=111

You could do something like we were discussing here for on the top of the FORUMDISPLAY page if you wanted.

Lynne: Correct!! That is the location I want it to appear, the forumdisplay page!!!

Now I face a problem. Posts, Announcement, and Stickys appears to be the only means that BB Code [table] works in. If I wanted to use Notices or if statements, then BB Code [table] code would not work. Since I have it perfectly done in BB Code [table], and am not able to duplicate it using regular html table code.

Example of BB Code [table] code:

[table="width=100%"]SACRED TEXTS: Tripitaka: 'The Baskets' canon of Buddhist literature; discourses of the Buddha and/or his desciples.|GODHEAD: No omnipotent creator God. Many God-like beings subject to the law of rebirth (Dharma).|COSMOLOGY: Cyclical, endless becoming & dissolving. No point of creation.|ON TIME: Cyclical & not Important as cycle at rebirth continues forever.|ON THE NATURE OF THE SOUL: Life continues after death In another form. The cycle of birth / death can only be broken by achieving Enlightenment.[/table]

If you paste this code into a post, sticky or anouncement and you have BB Code [table] hack; it will look perfect, use it anywhere else, such as Notice or IF statement and it will not work.
Example of one of the tables coded in BB Code [table]:

Just copy the html from your page source.

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!
THANK YOU..THANK YOU.....THANK YOU Lynne!!!!!!!!

Three final questions:

1. How do I get it to show up on forumdisplay page now, one page up from here?
2. How do I put a quarter inch space between the bottom of the table and the "Closed" icon?
3. Can I reduce the space a bit at the top?

[Lynne]

This is what I'd do.....

put in a template_hook in FORUMDISPLAY where you want this stuff to appear:

$template_hook[forumdisplay_notice]

Then, create a plugin using the 'forumdisplay_start' hook location:

PHP Code:

if ($forumid == '2') {
eval('$template_hook[forumdisplay_notice] .= "<table><tr><td>Your HTML here - remember if you have link you need to escape it <a href=\"yourlink.php\">Your Link</a></td></tr></table>";');
}
if ($forumid == '7') {
eval('$template_hook[forumdisplay_notice] .= "<table><tr><td>Your HTML here - remember if you have link you need to escape it <a href=\"yourlink.php\">Your Link</a></td></tr></table>";');
}
if ($forumid == '8') {
eval('$template_hook[forumdisplay_notice] .= "<table><tr><td>Your HTML here - remember if you have link you need to escape it <a href=\"yourlink.php\">Your Link</a></td></tr></table>";');
} 


You'll need to pretty that up, but that is how I'd go about it. Actually, if you wanted to do it prettier, your eval a template, but you can go look into that in the articles forum (read up on hooks).

I tested that exact code, only with forumids I use, and it works (but I'd change it to look nicer).
