Template Parent

XF Compatibility

2.3.x
2.2.x

Adds a new template variable $xf.reply.templateParent which groups all thread_view* and forum_view* templates together.

XenForo 2.2 adds multiple variations to the thread_view and forum_view templates for the various new thread types:

thread_view_type_article
thread_view_type_poll
thread_view_type_question
thread_view_type_suggestion
forum_view_type_article
forum_view_type_question
forum_view_type_suggestion

So now when you want to target a template conditional to a thread view page (for example, in an advert), instead of previously doing the following:

HTML:

<xf:if is="$xf.reply.template == 'thread_view'">
    <!-- do something -->
</xf:if>

... we must now do this:

HTML:

<xf:if is="in_array($xf.reply.template, [
                'thread_view',
                'thread_view_type_article',
                'thread_view_type_poll',
                'thread_view_type_question',
                'thread_view_type_suggestion'
               ])">
    <!-- do something -->
</xf:if>

An easier way

This addon adds a new template variable we can use to check if the template "parent" is thread_view or forum_view, so we can simply do the following instead to target all templates of that type:

HTML:

<xf:if is="$xf.reply.templateParent == 'thread_view'">
    <!-- do something for any thread view pages -->
</xf:if>

... or:

HTML:

<xf:if is="$xf.reply.templateParent == 'forum_view'">
    <!-- do something for any forum view pages -->
</xf:if>

Note that v1.0.1 or higher is required for XF 2.3 compatibility.
