IF variable for forum id?

[SuperFedya]

I need to show 1 line only for specific forum.
Something like "<!-- IF FORUM_ID is 33 -->bla-bla-bla<!-- ENDIF -->
Forum id is 33.
Any ideas?

[Rahber]

Code: Select all

<!-- IF FORUM_ID eq '33' --> the one line you want to show<!-- ENDIF --> 

[SuperFedya]

Thanks! Works great!

Hi buddies. Is there a similar expression to be used with forum-links? I mean, something like

<!-- IF FORUM_LINK_ID eq 'whatever' -->

do things

<!-- ENDIF -->

Thanks.

Anyone?

[Lumpy Burgertushie]

what is a "forum link"?

Type of forum: link

[Lumpy Burgertushie]

yes, I know that but what are you trying to do? a link type forum is still just a forum and therefore an IF statement would work exactly the same as any other IF statement for a given forum ID.

I assumed that you must be talking about something else since that is how it works already.

The original question was how to identify the forum_id in viewtopic.php.
You will never be in viewtopic.php for a link forum.

@atoirtap:
Maybe good to look into the file "functions.php" to find out, what can be used with "_ID" - just for a quick look I found: unique_id, style_id, $user_id, $forum_id, $topic_id, $f_id, $session_id, reportee_id, $item_id, session_user_id

Mabe there are more, maybe some are not really usable.

Best you try it out.

Hi again, buddies.

@regazer
Yep, I was having a look to common.php, functions.php and other files, and searching around here before adding my question

@lumpy
Yep, before asking, I tried using <!-- IF FORUM_ID eq 'whatever' --> as in the case of a 'normal' kind of forum, but I didn't get my goal, so I thought maybe in this case another variable should be used.

I would like to add a small link besides the name/description of a forum link. Depending of the forum id, the url should be one or another. So I thought to make a little hack in forumlist_body.html:

Original code:

Code: Select all

...
<!-- ELSEIF not forumrow.S_IS_LINK -->
things
<!-- ELSE -->
<dd>&nbsp;</dd>
<!-- ENDIF -->
...

My proposal (not working):

Code: Select all

...
<!-- ELSEIF not forumrow.S_IS_LINK -->
things
<!-- ELSE -->
 <!-- IF FORUM_ID eq 'whatever1' --><a href="blah1">bleh1</a><!-- ENDIF -->
  <!-- IF FORUM_ID eq 'whatever2' --><a href="blah2">bleh2</a><!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- ENDIF -->
...

[Lumpy Burgertushie]

ELSEIF doesn't work unless there is a previous IF

you can do IF blah blah ELSEIF blah blah

Hi Robert, thanks for answering again. Obviously there's a previous IF. The three dots ... before and after the shown code block mean that there are more lines before and after of that block, and I just wrote the portion of shown code to avoid make it too long.

[regazer]

maybe it has to be something like this

Code: Select all

<!-- ELSE -->

<!-- IF FORUM_ID eq 'whatever1' --><a href="blah1">bleh1</a>
<!-- ELSEIF FORUM_ID eq 'whatever2' --><a href="blah2">bleh2</a>
<!-- ELSEIF FORUM_ID eq 'whatever*' --><a href="blah*">bleh*</a>
<!-- ELSE --><a href="blubb">blop</a>
<!-- ENDIF -->
 
<!-- ENDIF -->

instead of eq I think == can be used and instead of single quote ' the double quote "


edit: after testing this I think you want to do that all in the wrong place. forumlist_body.html can't be it.
