custom header link only visible on threadlist

[Marc]

Using the conditionals plugin, I would like to display a custom link in the header template which should only be visible on the threadlist, and possibly the thread page. Is there a variable I can use to check which page you are on?

Also - this is a seperate issue - when you are reading a thread, is there a variable available that holds the name or ID of the board the thread is in?

Do you want to displaying the same link in the forumdisplay and the showthread?
Basically, you can try using THIS_SCRIPT

I think it depends on where you want to use the variable (already defined or not)
If you want to use it in showthread template, try to use $thread['fid']

Yes it is the same link on those pages. What script are you referring to?

Actually I want to use it in the header, so the variable you mention is not defined at that stage, I guess.

Something like this:

Code:

<if THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay.php' || THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread.php' then> Your link here </if>

---

I think you can use $current_page variable too.

If you want to put it in header template, unfortunately, yes, the $thread variable is not defined yet. But maybe you can use $style variable to get the forum id, and use forum cache to get the forum name.
