Not display baner in one board

[mirkodzo]

Within the first post I put a banner, but I do not want it to display in one child boards. How to do it??
Help please!

How did you add that banner?
If you used a MOD, you need to address that question to its specific support topic

I not use MOD.
I edited display.template.php with

Code Select Expand

                 if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
      echo '
                        <div style="float:right;">
                        [b]baner[/b]</div>';

but I do not want it to display in one child boards. How to do it??

[Kindred]

what mod did you use?   

From that code, it would seem that you are going to have to add additional settings to the individual board settings to determine if you want it displayed or not...       not just a simple conditional at that location.

I did not use a single mode

Yes, yes...  but I do not know how to write program code, just for it??

I'm on the phone now but you should have a variable $board or $context['board']. Use that on your "if" so that it only outputs stuff if board is different from what you're excluding

if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'] && $context['board'] ==  )

thank you, when you can, please write me the whole program code 

[Kindred]

well, see, that's what I mean.

You can HARDCODE the boardIDs...  but that is a poor choice and would require code edits every time you added a new board that you want to exclude

the PROPER way to do it would be to add the conditional check on a variable... and then control that variable from the board settings.

[margarett]

But that's wayyy more difficult to implement
Not debating if it's better, or course it is But a lot harder and, for a single case, hard-coding might very well be a good-enough solution.

If it is just 1 board and context board contains current active ones id you could just do

Code Select Expand

$context['board'] != 'board id to skip here'


as Kindred says you'd have to manually add each board if you want new ones to also be excluded

[margarett]

For either one or several boards, an array is IMO the best approach

Code Select Expand

$excluded = array(1,2,3);
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'] && !in_array($context['current_board'], $excluded))
echo '
<div style="float:right;">
[b]baner[/b]</div>';

Thank you very much
