vB: IF conditional driving me batty! HELP

[Big Dan]

Hi Guys,

I'm working on a vB board for a client who wants a banner rotation shown only above a certain forum and it's contained threads. I've installed vB Ad Management 4 and followed the instructions in order to make the banners show only with forum ID number 36.

Here is the code I'm using in the navbar template:

<if condition="in_array($forum, array(36))">$navbar_advertisement</if>

It just won't work, I've even tried using a else conditional to show text for testing. The else conditional always shows.. The navbar template doesn't seem to know what forum it's dealing with.. if that makes any sense.

Any help would be greatly apprecatied

Thanks,
Dan

Dan, try this:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 36">$navbar_advertisement</if>

You don't need an array, you're only specifying one forum. Let me know if it works, I didn't test.

Colleen you're a life saver!! I'd buy you a beer but you don't have a tip jar out. Wow one simple oversight had my ripping my hair out. :twisted:

The only draw back is that the banner rotator doesn't show on forum display but that could probably be fixed by editing that template although this will be sufficient for him.

I'll take "Big Bunny Dan" now, or what was it I said you should be called? Something along those lines... :cheesy-e:

Yea, that part is weird and I am guessing it has to do with the hooks, you'd probably have to create a plugin for that specific hook, but that's where I get lost myself. :cool-e:
